Vittoria Ceretti's rare comment on her notoriously private relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio
Vittoria Ceretti has opened up about her notoriously private relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time.
The duo have been romantically involved since August of 2023. In a new Vogue Paris interview, the model, 26, spoke about their relationship without naming the Oscar winner, 50.
Instead of naming DiCaprio, Ceretti referred to him as a "very, very famous actor" before revealing where they met, "In Milan. But I prefer not to go into details," she confessed.

Ceretti then addressed the potential risk dating an A-lister could have on her career, sharing, "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.
"And that can be extremely annoying. Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend, who was so-and-so's ex."
Ceretti added, "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."

The rising star then opened up about adjusting to dating DiCaprio, explaining it's "something you learn".
"If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence," she shared.
While DiCaprio and Ceretti have never been photographed on a red carpet together, they're often spotted on intimate date nights and, most recently, enjoying a luxury holiday in St. Barts late last year.
DiCaprio is known for dating women who are under the age of 25, despite his current girlfriend being slightly older.
Ceretti was born in Brescia, Italy in 1998. She began her modelling career at 14 years old as a finalist in the Elite Model Look competition.
In 2014, Ceretti was chosen by Dolce & Gabbana as the face of its Autumn/Winter and Beauty campaigns in 2015 and 2016. Since then, she has gone from strength to strength.

In 2023, Ceretti was the face of the Chanel Beauty Holiday Campaign and last year the face of Pucci.
Before dating DiCaprio, Ceretti married Matteo Milleri, an Italian-American DJ, in June 2020. However, the couple divorced just three years later.
The Titanic star is yet to publicly comment on their relationship.
