Leonardo DiCaprio Relationships

Since Leonardo DiCaprio’s younger days, he has remained very popular amongst women. His first notable affair was with model and actress Kristen Zang who he dated for two years in the early 90s.

Then came a slew of affairs with supermodels including Czech supermodel Eva Herzigová. But one relationship that clearly stands out and was thought to be pretty serious at the time (2000-2005) was with Gisele Bündchen – a world-famous Brazilian supermodel.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele stayed lovers for nearly 5 years, but their different schedules and diverging careers became the reason for their split.

After that, Leonardo’s love life became an off and on affair, in which, he had several short-term relationships. With Bar Rafaeli, an Israeli supermodel, he stayed in an off/on relationship for nearly six years, but it never got ‘really’ serious.

For a long time, it appeared that Leonardo DiCaprio girlfriend list would never end and he will continue adding new entries.

However, now it seems that he has finally decided to settle down with Camila Morrone. She is the step-daughter of Hollywood legend Al Pacino (who is famous for movies like Scarface and The Godfather).

Camila and Leonardo have been known to be dating since 2017, but their relationship has mostly stayed hidden from the prying eyes. Rumors has it that they have already married in March of 2020, but there is still no confirmation from the couple.
