Leonardo DiCaprio remains hopeful about embracing fatherhood: 'I am sure it will be'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Leonardo DiCaprio is about to hit the big 5-0 on Monday, November 11. And if you’re wondering if this milestone will change anything for Hollywood’s favorite bachelor, the answer seems to be… maybe, but not just yet.
The Oscar-winning star has everything he could dream of: a massive fortune worth around $300 million, a shelf full of awards, and a dating history that reads like a who’s-who of the world's most stunning women. But despite all that, Leo still hasn’t found “the one.”
And while it’s true he’s still on the hunt for his soulmate, Leo’s hinted he’s not ruling out fatherhood down the line. “I’m sure some people would look at me and my life and say it’s not normal and other people might say it is. I don’t know," he said, as quoted by The Sun. “I am sure it will be [in the cards], but it’s true I am not getting any younger," he added.
Leonardo DiCaprio's love for acting trumps everything
Leonardo DiCaprio is currently dating 26-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, and believe it or not, she’s actually one of the oldest women he’s been linked with in a while.
The two met at the 'Killers of the Flower Moon' premiere at Cannes last year, and they’ve been pretty inseparable ever since. From hanging out in Milan with Leo’s mom to celebrating his birthday in LA and even dancing it up at a Rolling Stones concert in Vegas, they seem to be having a good time.
But don’t get too excited about wedding bells just yet. Leo’s reputation as Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor is still intact. And let’s be honest, he’s been here before—only for things to cool off when work calls or another chapter of his life opens up.
So why is Leo still Hollywood’s answer to Peter Pan at the age of 50? According to one Hollywood insider, his one true love has always been acting, with everything else—relationships included—taking a back seat.
The source told The Sun on Sunday: “Leonardo’s one true love is acting. Everything else, including relationships, comes second to that. When shooting a movie he is totally immersed in his roles, which is what makes him so successful. But it’s taken a toll on his love life. He picks younger women to delay any personal complications in his life."
“It enables him to concentrate on his work because they’re less into settling down and happy to go along for the ride. He is like the Peter Pan of Hollywood — dating younger women, partying, going on holiday on his super yacht. He really is living the dream. It’s a pattern," the insider continued.
"But 50 is a big deal and I think he may stop, evaluate, and make some changes. He’s a great guy who has a lot to give to a relationship and would make a brilliant dad. Maybe he could realize that work and movies are not actually everything," they added.
Leonardo DiCaprio's love life
Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life has always been a hot topic, and he’s been famously tight-lipped about it — even when people can’t stop talking about his apparent “age cap” rule (he’s apparently been quoted as saying he’ll never date a woman over 25). True or not, his dating history is a who’s who of beautiful women — many of whom were under that infamous age mark.
From his five-year romance with Gisele Bundchen when she was 20 to , who was also 20 when they met, and even a short fling with Blake Lively at 24, Leo has kept things rather consistent.
More recently he dated model Camila Morrone, who was 21 when they started dating and split from him last year. And the list doesn’t stop there—Bridget Hall, Erin Heatherton, Virginie Ledoyen, and Gigi Hadid have all been linked to the megastar at some point.
That said, Leo has always brushed off the chatter. “I’m quite used to that kind of stuff,” he said when asked if he’s bothered by the public’s fascination with his dating habits. “I don’t find it hard at all. Am I a nice boy? I suppose that is subject to interpretation."
“The truth is I remember saying as a very young kid, ‘I wanna become an actor'. I just said to myself, ‘One day I’ll hopefully try to do something as good as these great heroes that I want to emulate'," he added.
Leonardo DiCaprio's passions include acting as well as activism
Beyond the glitz and glam, Leonardo DiCaprio is a man of many passions. He’s founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to environmental causes — and he’s been an outspoken advocate for sustainability for years. He even manages to find some downtime for pickleball, art galleries, and pottery.
With such a packed life, it’s no wonder he hasn’t settled down or started a family yet. As for whether that will change after 50, Leo doesn’t seem to be in any rush. He’s still focused on what he loves most: acting. Asked about his future plans, Leo kept it simple. “You know what? Just one more movie," he quipped.
