Hold up, Leonardo DiCaprio has just broken his under-25 dating ‘rule’

Leonardo DiCaprio has seemingly never dated a woman aged 27 or older — but, at 48 years old, perhaps the actor is finally ready for a relationship with someone (slightly) closer in age.

Last year the actor broke up with his long-term girlfriend, model and actress Camila Morrone, just months after she turned 25. The couple had been together since 2018, when Morrone was 20 years old, but when she approached her 25th birthday in June, fans joked that their relationship was doomed, and it turns out they were right.

However, the DiCaprio curse may now have been lifted, as the star continues to be linked to model Gigi Hadid, 28, with the pair recently spotted together once again.

The pair have been sparking romance rumours from as far back as November last year when they were reportedly getting “flirty” at dinner together in New York, but things have yet to be confirmed.

In the meantime, Leonardo and Gigi were both spotted at nightclub boss Richie Akiva’s party in the Hamptons, fuelling romance rumours, but ultimately arrived and left the party separately. A source told Page Six that they “had a good time” at the event, but Leonardo remained “unassuming.”

“They both seemed like they had a good time at the party and were very chill. Gigi was friendly to people, and Leo was unassuming and low-key,” the insider revealed.

Back in November, sources told Entertainment Tonight that the Hollywood duo were “very much into each other” but were “mindful” of the model’s recent split from former One Direction star Zayn Malik.

“Gigi and Leo have been seeing each other and are very into each other, but Gigi has been trying to keep things low-key with their relationship. They are trying to keep things private and not show too much PDA while out together.

“Gigi is trying to be mindful of Zayn’s feelings and doesn’t want to be disrespectful to him with her new relationship. Gigi and Zayn both only want what is best for each other. They are doing their best to have a cordial relationship, be the best parents they can be, and co-parent Khai in a healthy way.”

Even if it doesn’t work out with Hadid and DiCaprio, perhaps this the start of a new chapter for the actor…
