Every year, the Met Gala offers plenty to admire, but one of the most thrilling aspects of this year’s event—held to celebrate the Costume Institute’s Spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style—was indulging in celebrity gossip.
The eternal question of who Leonardo DiCaprio is dating—a topic that’s fueled pop culture debates since the early ’90s (remember the Pussy Posse?)—resurfaced after the Met, where DiCaprio appeared with his 26-year-old supermodel girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. (Their coordinated style was flawless, naturally—because if your tux doesn’t complement your girlfriend’s Moncler pinstripe mini, are you even a true Hollywood bachelor-turned-steady-partner?)
Below, here’s everything you need to know about DiCaprio and Ceretti’s relationship, from their first public date to their sweet museum outing with Leo’s mom and their shared love of pickleball.
### Who is Vittoria Ceretti?
Ceretti, a 26-year-old Italian model, was discovered in 2012 through the Elite Model Look contest and made her runway debut in Milan for designer Kristina Ti. Over the past decade, she’s fronted campaigns for brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Alexander McQueen, Fendi, Chanel, and Tiffany’s, and has graced the cover of Vogue and its international editions 24 times—including as one of seven models on Vogue US’s 125th-anniversary issue in March 2017. She was previously married to Italian-American DJ Matteo Milleri; they divorced in 2023.
### Vittoria and Leo’s Relationship Timeline:
August 2023: They grab iced treats
One of their first public sightings? A casual outing for iced coffee and ice cream in Santa Barbara. Sometimes, you just need both. (Though an affogato might have been the smarter choice.)
