Leonardo DiCaprio's rumored engagement to girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti sends fans into frenzy

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Social media is ablaze with a circulating rumor that Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, is engaged to his younger model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 26.

Fans were shocked to learn that the 'Titanic' star might be ready to settle down because he has reportedly avoided getting married after dating several young, attractive women over the years, most of whom were models, per Daily Mail.

Leonardo DiCaprio allegedly engaged to younger girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti

Given that the 'Titanic' star has long been said to have a "25 and under" rule when it comes to his attractive girlfriends, fans were especially taken aback by the engagement rumors, which intensified after an email was sent to the gossip blog DeuxMoi.

Since the two started dating when Ceretti was already 25 and appear to have remained happily together after her birthday, she is already a rare exception to DiCaprio's alleged practice at the age of 26.

However, the serial dater, who has made a name for himself as one of the world's most well-known bachelors, would be shocked as well by an engagement.

The rumors surfaced soon after DiCaprio celebrated his 50th birthday, which he marked with an extremely impressive guest list that included Paris Hilton, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Steven Spielberg, and Leo's close friend Brad Pitt, who was joined by his girlfriend Ines de Ramona.

The two first connected in the summer of 2023. The model wearing of a heart-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger earlier this year subsequently caused serious engagement rumors.

Sources were forced to denounce the rumors and put a stop to them after the pictures sent the world into a frenzy. An insider who spoke to TMZ attempted to dispel the rumors of an engagement.

They said DiCaprio, who celebrated the big 50 on November 11, had not given her the ring. Rather, it was said that Ceretti had owned it since 2022.

Ceretti and DiCaprio were first connected in August 2023 after they were captured on video kissing and dancing at an Ibiza club. She previously married Italian DJ Matteo Milleri before falling in love with the movie star.

The model and DJ Matteo reportedly had a rocky relationship after getting married in Ibiza in January 2020. They announced their separation in June 2023, a few months before she was linked to DiCaprio.

Insider calls Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti's engagement whispers nothing more than 'Internet rumor'

Despite internet rumors that the 'Titanic' star proposed to his model girlfriend, sources confirmed that Leonardo DiCaprio is not engaged.

According to reports, an email tip sparked the rumors on Deux Moi, a well-known fan-fueled gossip feed. However, "This is nothing more than an Internet rumor," a source told Page Six.

The 'Wolf of Wall Street' star's engagement rumors "come up every month," the source added, implying that unless DiCaprio himself makes the claim, it is not advisable to believe it.

The engagement fan theories were previously shattered when DiCaprio was spotted cuddling up to singer Teyana Taylor, who co-stars with him in his upcoming, secret film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

The two are merely friends, according to insiders, who also stated that DiCaprio spent time helping the aspiring actress hone her craft and moving on from her split with Iman Shumpert.

It was previously reported that DiCaprio had decided to keep his relationship with Ceretti private. "It's going so well that Leo's actually being exclusive. Vittoria is all he thinks about," a source told US Weekly.

The source added that the pair has a "ton in common," which has facilitated the growth of their relationship. Moreover, the model and the Hollywood star have not encountered any problems despite their considerable age gap of over 20 years.

Internet reacts to Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti's engagement rumors

While some fans on X (formerly Twitter) praised Leonardo DiCaprio for allegedly getting engaged, others expressed disbelief that he would ever settle down after years of switching out top models.

One wrote, "NAH MY DAWG FINALLY TIED DOWN???"

In one amusing post, Vittoria Ceretti was portrayed as a heroine from a fairy tale who had saved the 'Titanic' star. The fan exclaimed, "OMG SHE DID IT! SHE BROKE THE CURSE!!"

Following the 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' star's years of primarily dating women aged 25 and under, some people did not believe the rumors.

"Oh my god??? he’s making a life long commitment to someone over 25????" they remarked.

Another quipped, "So somebody cast a spell or she’s a vampire now?"

Others, however, responded to DiCaprio and Ceretti's alleged engagement more earnestly. They wrote, "He hit 50 and realized that it was finally time to settle down. lol"
