Leonardo DiCaprio may have found love again, but not without some trouble in paradise.

The Hollywood heartthrob, known as much for his blockbuster hits as for his rotating list of model girlfriends, is reportedly facing relationship hiccups with his current flame, Vittoria Ceretti.

The 27-year-old Italian model, who broke the actor’s infamous “under-25” dating streak, isn’t interested in being just another model he dates.

She wants more.

According to insiders, Ceretti is growing tired of being seen merely as DiCaprio’s arm candy.

While the Titanic actor is apparently smitten, Ceretti is determined to carve her own identity, away from the spotlight he naturally drags with him.

As per RadarOnline, sources claim,

Vittoria has a lot of backbone.

She’s very much her own woman, and that’s something Leo admires about her, but the downside is that she’s not content to just be his plus-one, She’s ambitious and wants to make a name for herself, to the point that it’s causing friction.

It’s not Leo’s fault that people are more interested in her because she’s dating him, but that doesn’t stop her from getting resentful at times.

Tension is reportedly building, with Ceretti expressing frustration over being lumped in with DiCaprio’s extensive ex-list (think Gigi Hadid, Camila Morrone, Bar Refaeli, you get the drift).

The relationship, though still afloat, seems to be navigating choppy waters.

What could solve this is engagement, as the source further claimed,

Leo could solve the issue by proposing to Vittoria, and a lot of people in his life are pushing him to take that step, including Vittoria herself.

One of her complaints is that she gets lumped in with all the many other women he’s dated before

It’s now decision time for DiCaprio, either step up or risk losing Ceretti.

Their future now hinges on whether DiCaprio can meet Ceretti where she is; only time will tell what he actually chooses to do.

Born on June 7, 1998, in Brescia, a town near Milan, Ceretti entered the fashion world at just 14 after becoming a finalist in the prestigious Elite Model Look competition.

Since then, she’s worked with virtually every major luxury brand, including Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel.

She has also graced the covers of major magazines like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle, and she was even the face of Chanel Beauty.

In her personal life, Ceretti married Italian DJ Matteo Milleri in 2020, though the relationship quietly ended in 2022.

In August 2023, she was first romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom she’s been seen traveling, attending events like the Met Gala, and vacationing in Sardinia.

She has also opened up about the fact that she didn’t always want to model.

She told Vogue,

I didn’t always want to be a model, but once I started, I realized how much I loved it.

With this job, I got to see cities like New York, and even move here, which I never imagined doing.

Meeting new, creative people almost every day is also a nice bonus—so many people in fashion have rich knowledge and ideas that I couldn’t absorb anywhere else

But since then, she has grown passionate about the work and the experiences it offers.

Today, she stands as a top model of her generation and is dating a man many women can only dream of.

What Did Vittoria Ceretti Say About Dating Leonardo DiCaprio?

Vittoria Ceretti, on a very rare occasion, also opened up about her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, offering insight into what it’s like to date one of the world’s most famous men.

Speaking to Vogue France for the April 2025 issue, she didn’t name DiCaprio directly, but referred to him as a “very, very famous actor”.

Ceretti shared that the couple met in Milan, but chose not to elaborate on the details.

What stood out most was her honest reflection on the difficulty of maintaining her own identity while dating someone with such a massive public profile.

She explained,

As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’—or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter.

And that can be extremely annoying.

Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex.

So it’s not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.

Ceretti also emphasized the importance of keeping the relationship grounded and genuine amid all the external attention.

As she further added,

It’s something you learn.

If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed.

Because love protects and gives confidence

Despite their nearly two-year romance being mostly private, the pair have been spotted together on yacht getaways, at fashion events, and many more.

Through it all, Ceretti remains committed to carving her own path, making it clear she’s not just DiCaprio’s girlfriend, but a woman with a thriving career, who just happens to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio.
