By Andrew Thomas 11/13/2025

Leonardo DiCaprio turned 51 on November 11, 2025, but the rumors about his romantic life continue to steal headlines. In 2023, the Oscar-winning actor was rumored to be dating Israeli model Eden Polani, who was 19 at the time, reinforcing the infamous Reddit graph mapping the ages of his girlfriends (per Independent). Today, Polani is 22, and her life in the spotlight has only intensified. 

DiCaprio was seen with her at singer Ebony Riley’s EP release party, and the internet erupted once again over the actor’s alleged preference for women under 25. For those unfamiliar with DiCaprio’s romantic history, he has a well-documented habit of dating women in their early 20s for brief periods before they reach 25.

Polani, reportedly represented by IT Models in Tel Aviv, Kult Models in Germany, Next Management in the UK, and Maddison in France, boasts over 200,000 Instagram followers. She was previously linked to Gil Ofer, son of Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer (per The Jewish Chronicle). Born on March 21, 2003, Polani would have a 29-year age gap with DiCaprio if they were dating. Interestingly, DiCaprio has previously dated Israeli models, including Bar Refaeli from 2006 to 2011.

Did Leonardo DiCaprio Date the French-Israeli Model After Ebony Riley’s EP Party?




NO! Despite the swirling rumors, Leonardo DiCaprio was not dating Eden Polani in 2023, a source confirmed to PEOPLE. The Titanic star sparked speculation after attending Riley Montana’s, also known as Ebony Riley, album release party and being spotted seated near Polani.

Photos show DiCaprio wearing a black bomber jacket and a matching baseball cap, while Polani opted for a white t-shirt under a striped-print blazer. A source told PEOPLE: 

Leo and Eden just so happened to have been seated next to each other at the party, and were hanging in the same group… Just because Leo might be talking to or sitting with a girl doesn’t mean he’s dating her.

Polani’s representative did not immediately respond to comment requests. Previously, DiCaprio was linked to Victoria Lamas, with whom he was seen leaving The Birds Streets Club in West Hollywood. Her father, Lorenzo Lamas, told the New York Post:

She’s fond of him, obviously. But they’re not dating, and she does not want that out there because that would be really bad.

Ergo, there’s no evidence that the Polani and DiCaprio were dating.

Who Is Leonardo DiCaprio’s Current GF Vittoria Ceretti? Italian Model Makes His Birthday Special






Leonardo DiCaprio’s confirmed love interest, Vittoria Ceretti, made his 51st birthday celebration truly special. Videos shared online by Francesca Scorsese show Killers of the Flower Moon star surrounded by friends and family, while Ceretti sings along and holds a white birthday cake with lit candles (per Hola).

Guests, including Jimmy Fallon and Martin Scorsese, join in as the birthday song fills the room. DiCaprio blows out the candles, with Vittoria Ceretti looking at him tenderly. Fallon even performed Sinatra’s My Way.

The couple has been together since 2023, when they were photographed kissing in Ibiza. While they keep their relationship relatively private, Ceretti has openly discussed the challenges of dating someone with a larger public profile (via PEOPLE): 

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… 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, born on June 7, 1998, is an acclaimed Italian model discovered in 2012 through the Elite Model Look contest. She has walked in over 400 fashion shows and appeared on 24 Vogue covers worldwide. As of 2025, she ranks among the highest-paid models of her generation.

DiCaprio’s romantic life continues to fuel curiosity, and while Eden Polani remains a topic of rumors, Vittoria Ceretti is clearly by his side for the big moments. Whether he will continue to stick to younger models or finally break the pattern remains to be seen. Do you think he’ll surprise us next? Comment below with your predictions!
