Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid are the latest celebrity couple that fans didn’t see coming. Reports started circulating in September 2022 that the actor was interested in the model, not even a month after Leo ended a long-term relationship. Though Gigi was reportedly not interested at first, it didn’t take long for reports to say things are heating up between the two. Here’s everything we know so far about their romance.
8 Gigi Is Likely A Rebound
Before dating Gigi, Leonardo was in a long-term relationship with model Camila Morone. However, they split at the end of August 2022. The internet went into a frenzy, since the break-up happened shortly after Camila turned 25. Leo has a reputation for only dating women in their early 20s, so some speculated her age may have factored into their split.
Only weeks after the break-up, Leonardo was rumored to be interested in Gigi, and the two have been seeing each other since.
7 She’s Older Than Leo’s Usual GFs
Gigi is by no means old, but she’s not as young as some of the other women Leonardo has dated. The model is 27 years old, a full twenty years younger than the Titanic actor.
6 Fans Think It’s A Publicity Stunt
When news broke about their romance, one rumor that began circulating was it was just a huge publicity stunt. Leo’s recent break-up was used as evidence.
With the attention surrounding his affinity for only dating young women, some theorized his team suggested dating Gigi. While she’s his type, she’s in her late 20s, making the age gap a little smaller than his last relationship.
5 Leo Likes That Gigi Is A Mom
Gigi shares a child with her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. The co-parents have dated on-and-off since 2015, and welcomed their daughter, Khai, in 2020 following a reconciliation a few months earlier. But they broke up in the fall of 2021 after Zayn got into an altercation with Gigi’s mom Yolanda Hadid. Charges were pressed, which he later pleaded no contest to.
Most of the women Leonardo has dated haven’t had children, but sources say that the actor likes the Gigi has a daughter. “He really likes that she has her life together,” a source said. “She has a child and she's mature. He wants to be with someone who has the same idea of good causes and political views like he does.”
4 Gigi Wasn’t Interested At First
The first reports linking Leo and Gigi together suggest he was pursuing her, but she wasn’t necessarily interested. Weeks later, it appeared Leo’s attempts to woo her were working, as they were spending more time together.
In September 2022, one source claimed that Gigi wasn’t interested in pursuing anything serious with the actor. “Leo has been asking mutual friends about Gigi and wants to get to know her,” they said. “They have hung out several times and he is interested.Of the source’s comments, a report said, “[They] are not ‘exclusive,’ with the source adding that Gigi doesn’t really care to be too deeply involved with Leo at this point.”
Another insider said, “Leo does have his sights set on Gigi, but she hasn’t shown an interest. They’re friends, but she doesn’t want to be romantic with [him] right now.”
3 But Now Things Are Getting Serious
Leonardo and Gigi have been spotted together numerous times in recent months, but they haven’t shared any photos of each other to social media. Likewise, they haven’t commented on the status of their romance.
But insiders have implied the two are exclusively seeing each other, and the romance only seems to be heating up. One source said that while they’re “taking things slow,” Leo isn’t treating this casually. “[He] is not someone who is in-and-out of relationships. He doesn’t jump around hooking up,” they said.
2 Leo Likely Doesn’t Want Kids & Marriage
It’s unclear if Gigi hopes for marriage and more kids in the future, but it’s unlikely that Leo does. The actor has never publicly been engaged or wed. Now that he’s nearing his 50s, it appears that fatherhood and marriage was never a major priority to him.
However, Leo may not be opposed to marriage if it’s with the right person. "[I]t's gonna happen when it's gonna happen," he said in 2014 of if he’ll ever tie the knot.
1 Her Ex Zayn Is Feeling Jealous
Gigi has been linked to several high-profile men over the years, but she always seems to reconcile with Zayn Malik. If history repeats itself, this is likely to happen in the future. With many fans rooting for the pair, there are questions over how Zayn feels about Gigi’s romance with Leo.
One source says that the One Direction crooner is bothered by their romance. “Leo and Gigi dating has definitely touched a nerve with Zayn,” they said. “Zayn was hoping to win Gigi back and feels frozen out now that Leo is in the picture.”
The insider added, “While he’s putting on a brave face, he’s finding the news of Gigi and Leo’s romance hard to digest.” The exes do seem to be on amicable terms despite Gigi’s relationship with Leo, as they celebrated their daughter’s 2nd birthday together.
