Recent Outing Highlights Growing Relationship
Leonardo DiCaprio, 51, and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, were recently spotted enjoying a rare moment of public affection during a shopping outing in Los Angeles on December 26, 2025. The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2023, shared a kiss while browsing at a boutique on Melrose Place, drawing attention due to DiCaprio's typically private nature regarding his relationships. The pair, dressed in matching black athleisure, also enjoyed lunch at Architecture Café, where they appeared relaxed and affectionate, with Ceretti often leaning into DiCaprio.
Background of Their Relationship
DiCaprio and Ceretti's romance began in the summer of 2023, with their first public sighting occurring during an ice cream date in California. They were later seen together at a nightclub in Ibiza, which further fueled speculation about their relationship. Ceretti has previously expressed her thoughts on the challenges of being labeled as "DiCaprio's girlfriend," stating that such labels can be "extremely annoying." She emphasized the importance of being recognized for her own identity rather than solely in relation to DiCaprio.
Official Statements & Responses
In an interview with Vogue France, Ceretti remarked on the difficulties of public perception, saying, "As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of'... It's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want because of the labels people need to stick on you." This sentiment reflects her desire for individuality within the context of their high-profile relationship.
Criticism & Opposition
Despite the couple's apparent happiness, some observers have noted DiCaprio's history of dating significantly younger women, leading to speculation about his relationships. Ceretti's previous marriage to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri and her strong personality have been highlighted as factors that differentiate her from DiCaprio's past partners. A source mentioned that Ceretti is "very in demand" and has a busy schedule, suggesting that she is not merely following DiCaprio but is an independent figure in her own right.
