You’ve heard it right: comedian Ricky Gervais obliterated Leonardo DiCaprio for his dating
habits at the 2020 Golden Globes. Leonardo DiCaprio’s movies may have earned
over $7 billion dollars worldwide... but his love life is raising many eyebrows.
In this video, we’ll find out how Leo DiCaprio earned the title of an eternal bachelor who
only dates a certain type of woman. He is a versatile actor who often takes up
unconventional roles. There are some names on this list that stand out, like Rihanna
or Demi Moore. We all secretly wished (still do) that he and Titanic co-star Kate Winslet
ended up together, compensating for the tragic love story between Rose and Jack. However,
the absolute majority of DiCaprio’s lady friends are leggy models under the age of
25. The side effect of this? The older Leo gets,
the more noticeable the age gap becomes. Surely, by now, Leo must have developed an immunity
to people poking fun at him for this. Yet, some jabs must have been hard to recover from.
Yeah, Leo wasn’t spared by comedian Tina Fey at the 2016 Golden Globes, either.

We wonder what his current partner, breakout actress and model Camila Morrone, thinks about
all the heat DiCaprio takes for dating her. At the age of 45, Leo is dating a woman who
is 23 years his junior. Oh right, first of all, what do we know about
Camila Morrone? The Wall Street Journal named Morrone one
of the "top rising talents," Variety said she is on their "actors to watch" list. Some
critics call her the next Jennifer Lawrence. Morrone’s father is a supermodel and her
mom is an actress, but she says she’d never wanted to follow in their footsteps.
As she told the Los Angeles Times, seeing her parents struggle to make it in the business
greatly discouraged her. “I thought: ‘I’m going to go to college.
I’m going to have a normal 9-to-5 job.’ And of course, I ended up exactly like them,”
the young woman said. It is rumoured that Leo and Camila were introduced
sometime in 2017 by none other than Al Pacino, who happens to be DiCaprio’s close friend
and Morrone’s stepfather figure. According to Cosmopolitan, Leo and Camila first saw
each other when the girl was just 12. Interestingly enough, she booked her first
role at the age of 15: in James Franco’s Bukowski. For the role, she had to kiss her
13-year-old scene partner. “I became so nervous on set that I actually
fainted when James Franco came to direct me," Camila recalled. Little did she know that
she would end up dating Leonardo DiCaprio! The pair prefer not to talk about their relationship
publicly, but Camila is slightly more open about it. The actress definitely knows about
all the criticism surrounding their age gap. “I just think anyone should be able to date
who they want to date,” Morrone told the LA Times.
In July 2019, she posted a vintage photo of actors Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart on
her Instagram and commented: “A love like this.” Bogart and Bacall shared a 25-year
age gap themselves. Morrone’s followers were quick to comment with things like, “You
only have a couple more years before he dumps you, girl.”
Frustrated, Morrone recorded an Instagram Story condemning those who are (quote) “so
mean and full of anger with people they know nothing about.” She expressed hope that
those posting mean comments would learn to live with a little less hatred.
If you’re a megastar of Leonardo DiCaprio’s proportions, be ready for your every step
to be scrutinized and gossiped about. For a person who has lived most of his life under
the spotlight, however, Leo is pretty great at keeping his private life… well, private.
For instance, what went on between the star of Titanic and Rihanna? DiCaprio reportedly
helped organize Rihanna’s 27th birthday bash, and the duo, according to E! News, were
seen kissing, touching and dancing. In 2016, Leo and RiRi were again photographed spending
time together. Were they hooking up? At the time, DiCaprio’s publicist stated that the
actor had been a single man for some time. And when DailyMail asked Rihanna what she
thought about taking up DiCaprio’s surname in a wedding scenario, the singer advised
the journalists to stay away from blogs that spread lies. Besides, RiRi said, her schedule
is so busy it wouldn’t be fair to pull someone else in her crazy life. So, just friends,
then? Leo was there at Rihanna’s 30th birthday celebration, too. According to Page Six, the
Oscar-winning actor snuck into the after-party through the side door.
Another mystery (for us mere mortals, of course) is what went on between Leo and the great
Naomi Campbell. In the mid-90s, the pair were rumoured to have a fling but ultimately decided
to keep things platonic. 25 years on, they remain good friends who attend and host each
other’s charitable events. And photobomb each other’s photos, like Leo did when Naomi
was posing for a selfie with 50 Cent. They even go on vacations together, prompting headlines
like “DiCaprio looks disinterested as a bikini-clad Naomi Campbell chatters to him
on a yacht.” Maybe it’s because Campbell is four years
older than Leo? And now that we’ve made the obligatory age-related
joke, let’s move on to another lady on DiCaprio’s list of documented and undocumented flings:
Demi Moore. Who is, by the way, twelve years older than him. In 1997, her marriage with
Bruce Willis was falling apart. Neither Demi nor Leo have commented on it, but they were
spotted having dinner together, and, well, sparks seemed to fly.
The first in the long string of Leo’s model girlfriends reportedly was Bridget Hall. Hall,
along with Cindy Crawford, was part of the ‘90s supermodel revolution. When she was
just 18, Forbes named her one of the ten highest-paid supermodels! Versace, Gucci, Ralph Lauren,
Victoria’s Secret and Dior weren’t the only famous brands on Hall’s list of victories.
She caught the eye of Leonardo DiCaprio, too. Although she told New York Magazine in 1998
that "nothing happened" between them, eyewitnesses allege they did get together in 1994. According
to The London Sun, Leo dumped her after “a night of love” that she found disappointing.
Leo dated model and actress Kristen Zang between 1996 to 1997 - yes, that was right before
he skyrocketed to fame thanks to Titanic. He even brought her as his date to the premiere
of pre-Titanic hit, Romeo + Juliet. Kristen Zang is known as The One That Got Away since
she was the one to break things off between her and then 23-year-old DiCaprio. The New
York Daily News published a piece saying Zang broke up with Leo because of his immaturity,
refusal to grow up and his "posse of young model-hounds."
The sentiment will be later shared by Gisele Bündchen who was by Leo’s side for five
years. Their split was reportedly amicable. DiCaprio
blamed their hectic schedules and the filmmaking process that requires him going away for long
stretches of time. Gisele, on her part, gave her own insight
to Vanity Fair, saying they were “just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend,” and
added that she has enormous respect for him. Over the years, she opened up a bit more in
interviews and her book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. Wanting to make a serious
lifestyle change, the model quit smoking, drinking and numbing herself with too much
work. This made her aware of things she’d previously chosen to ignore.
"Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while [Leo] stayed the same?
In the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes," Gisele said. Still, the model says she
is thankful to DiCaprio for being her teacher. She is happily married to the NFL quarterback
Tom Brady; the couple have two kids together. Meanwhile, DiCaprio moved on with Israeli
model Bar Refaeil. They were together from 2005 to 2011 but had a six-month break. During
their relationship, DiCaprio met the then-Israeli president and visited Refaeli’s hometown.
The reason why they broke up? Reportedly, the pair grew apart due their busy schedules,
and neither were looking forward to settling down. Leo was 36, and Bar was 25 when they
split. While Leo and Bar were on a break, DiCaprio
was quick to find someone to cuddle with. He wooed Russian Victoria's Secret model Anne
V in Ibiza. Before she was married to Ryan Reynolds and
mother to their three kids, Blake Lively used to romance Leonardo DiCaprio. The romance
was whirlwind and lasted just five months. Lively was 23 when they dated. According to
Gossip Girl executive producer, Blake used to send DiCaprio photos of a doll she kept
during filming. It was still a pre-Instagram era, mind you!
“I don't know whether I'll ever get married. I've seen too many supposedly happy marriages
go down. I've been as shocked as anyone.” That’s what Leo DiCaprio thinks of settling
down. And yet, he is not opposed to marrying when the time comes.
“You can’t predict marriage,” Leo told Parade magazine. “You can’t plan it. It’s
just going to happen when it happens." The thing is, the famous bachelor might have
come close to settling down. In 2015, 24-year-old Kelly Rohrbach, a Sports
Illustrated model, won over the actor’s heart. There were rumours of engagement! But
Kelly and Leo’s relationship ultimately lasted for seven months. And what was the
first thing Leo did after the split? He partied, surrounded by his close friends and a group
of bikini-clad ladies. Not a bad way to get over a heartbreak.
In May 2013, Leo started dating 22-year-old German-born Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn.
They lasted for 15 months, but Leo’s partying with 20 ladies in a Miami nightclub might
have ended the things between them. Toni and Leo briefly rekindled their romance in 2017,
but it didn’t last. At different times in 2016, Leo was seen with
models Victoria Lee Robinson and Georgia Fowler, both 23 years old. That same year, Leo began
dating Danish model and Maroon 5 Adam Levine’s ex Nina Agdal, who was 24 years old at the
time. Next, Leo reportedly moved on with 23-year-old model Lorena Rae: the two were spotted vacationing
around the world. However, Leo’s representative denied their relationship was romantic.
So, do you think that Leonardo DiCaprio, the eternal heartthrob, will eventually settle
down - even with someone who is significantly younger than him?
