Leonardo Dicaprio has officially made his Met Gala debut with his Italian girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, and the internet is (understandably) abuzz with questions about the couple’s budding romance. First spotted together in August 2023 on an ice-cream date in Santa Barbara, the 50-year-old actor and 26-year-old model have been going strong ever since.

“She is very cute, sweet, and charming,” a source told People back in 2023. “Leo seems to really like her.” Ceretti, for her part, has also spoken about their relationship, most notably in an interview with Vogue France. The model is no stranger to the spotlight and, on that note, just so happens to be friends with DiCaprio’s ex, Gigi Hadid. “If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed,” she told the publication. “Because love protects and gives confidence.”

Ahead, everything you should know about Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest love, the Italian model Vittoria Ceretti.

She attended the Met Gala with DiCaprio in 2025.

Dicaprio and Ceretti entered the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time together on May 5, 2025. The pair’s only photograph together later appeared in Vogue. Ceretti wore a pinstripe mini dress courtesy of Moncler x EE72 while the Don’t Look Up actor kept things simple in a black tux.

She’s been on the cover of ‘Vogue’ 24 times.

Ceretti’s modeling career has been defined by success after success. After being discovered in 2012 through a contest called Elite Model Look, the native Italian went on to walk in 400 fashion shows and counting (she is, after all, only 26). Ceretti has also appeared on Vogue covers around the world a whopping total of 24 times, including American Vogue‘s iconic 125th anniversary edition in March 2017.

She was married to Italian-American DJ Matteo Milleri.

Ceretti reportedly met DJ Matteo Milleri, who goes by the moniker Anyma, through mutual friends. The couple tied the knot in June 2020 in Ibiza before announcing their separation three years later. Milleri has since began dating Grimes, who was previously coupled up with Elon Musk.

She doesn’t want to be known as “the girlfriend of” anyone.

Perhaps it will come as no surprise that after establishing her own career on her own terms, Ceretti has little interest in becoming an accessory to someone else’s fame—including DiCaprio’s.

“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,” she 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.”

She was close friends with Karl Lagerfeld.

Following the designer’s death in 2019, Ceretti penned a tribute to Lagerfeld for the 2023 Met Gala, which was hosted in his honor. (The theme of the evening was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”) Ceretti wore a dress from the first Balenciaga Couture collection designed by Demna Gvasalia.

“Dear Karl,” Ceretti wrote. “I’ve been spending the past 4 years thinking about you nearly everyday. I remember the sound of your voice like you were speaking to me yesterday or the way you pronounced my name with your French accent. The feeling of your leather gloves while you’d hold my hand proudly, looking at the computer screen to see the pictures we had just shot together.” She continued, “You gave me so much. I will be grateful for you forever!”
