In what has become an annual rite of passage as reliable as the changing seasons, Leonardo DiCaprio has once again been spotted living his best aquatic life aboard a luxury yacht—this time with Italian model Vittoria Ceretti providing the glamorous companionship in the crystal-clear waters off the Amalfi Coast.
The Oscar winner, 50, and the 27-year-old Chanel favorite were captured by paparazzi lenses on Wednesday enjoying what appeared to be a picture-perfect Mediterranean day, complete with cocktails, sunshine, and the kind of carefree laughter that only comes when you’re worth hundreds of millions and have nothing on your schedule except “look fabulous on boat.”
Photographers caught several playful moments between the pair, including DiCaprio gallantly helping Ceretti climb back onboard after a swim—a chivalrous gesture that had social media divided between “how sweet” and “of course he’d help, he’s been practicing that move since the ’90s.”
Fashion enthusiasts were quick to note Ceretti’s impeccable vacation style, sporting a strappy black bikini that showcased the figure that’s walked runways for everyone from Versace to Valentino. She completed her boat-day look with oversized designer sunglasses and the kind of effortless wet hair that somehow only looks good on supermodels. DiCaprio maintained his signature incognito-but-not-really aesthetic in swim trunks, a backwards cap, and sunglasses—the uniform he’s perfected over decades of being photographed on various luxury vessels around the world.
“Vittoria serving LOOKS while Leo’s still in his trusty hat that’s older than some of his exes,” one fashion account quipped on Twitter, garnering thousands of likes.
The couple was first linked in late 2023 when they were spotted at a club in Ibiza, but sightings have become notably more frequent in recent months. Unlike some of DiCaprio’s previous relationships that seemed to operate on a strict need-to-know basis, the actor has been photographed with Ceretti at several high-profile locations, including dinners in Los Angeles and art exhibitions in New York.
Social media reactions have followed predictable patterns, with the usual flurry of memes about DiCaprio’s well-documented preference for dating women in their twenties. “Leo upgrading his yacht but not his dating age range,” one viral tweet noted. Others were more supportive, pointing out Ceretti’s impressive career credentials as one of fashion’s most in-demand models.
“She’s not just ‘Leo’s new girlfriend’—Vittoria has been the face of major campaigns and walked for every important designer,” defended one fan. “She has her own successful career.”
Neither DiCaprio nor Ceretti has publicly commented on their relationship status, maintaining the privacy that the actor has famously insisted upon throughout his decades in the spotlight. While they’ve been photographed together at events before, this yacht excursion marks their first full-on vacation paparazzi set—a milestone that, in celebrity relationship terms, sits somewhere between “casual dating” and “Instagram official.”
Whether this Mediterranean romance will last beyond the summer remains to be seen. DiCaprio is reportedly taking a break between film projects, while Ceretti continues to build her already impressive modeling portfolio with several major campaigns lined up for fall.
One thing’s certain—the Amalfi Coast has never looked better, and neither has the champagne industry’s bottom line. Representatives for both DiCaprio and Ceretti did not respond to requests for comment, likely because they were too busy enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine to care what we think.
