‘He’s Worried That She Could Leave Him’: Leonardo DiCaprio Reportedly In Panic Mode as Vittoria Ceretti Eyes Breakup Weeks After His Midlife Crisis Makeover

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, may have met his match in girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 26. The actor and the Italian model have reportedly been dating since August 2023, but new claims from a purported Tinseltown “insider” hint that trouble may be afoot. 

The individual alleging to have insight on the couple’s relationship spoke with RadarOnline about the lengths the “Gatsby” star has taken to continue wooing his missus.

They claim, “He’s trying to shape up and look younger to impress Vittoria,” and that “He’s dyed his hair and eyebrows and even touched up his beard to please her. For the first time, he’s worried that she could leave him, and he’s not ready for it.”

DiCaprio ditched his grays to debut a darker mane when he appeared at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas. Fans speculated that his revamped appearance was either proof of a midlife crisis or for an upcoming role. His friends, however, reportedly “think he looks a little older with dark hair — though they wouldn’t tell him that to his face.”

Fans have weighed in on the romance, too. “I’m sure she knows there’s an expiration date to their relationship…he doesn’t date women long once they hit 30,” said one person.

A second person remarked, “Leo is a boss. She’s just another on the 20-something carousel. He’s too smart to sign away his wealth for a young POA.”

Moreover, the gossiper alleged that Ceretti’s remarks about how “annoying” it can be to stand in the shadows of a famous “Titanic” superstar have likely been a factor in the relationship.

In March, the runway standout told Vogue France, “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.”

Bearing those comments in mind, the insider shared, “It’s had people wondering if she’s got a foot out the door. Obviously, her words influenced Leo. He has never been dumped in his entire life, and he’s not about to let it happen now…He’s always been the one to choose when a relationship ends.”

Before dating the international beauty, DiCaprio, an eternal bachelor, had romantic ties to Gisele Bündchen, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid, to name a few. Ceretti was married to Italian-American DJ Matteo Miller for three years when their divorce was finalized in June 2023.

Despite rumors of she and the Academy Award winner being on track to marriage, there has been no confirmation of an engagement.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
