Leonardo DiCaprio, Vittoria Ceretti show off love in NYC

Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, were spotted holding hands during a leisurely stroll in New York City.

The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2023, stepped out in casual attire, with Ceretti wearing a plain white long-sleeved shirt and dark pants, while DiCaprio sported a dark hoodie and shorts.

DiCaprio, 50, attempted to keep a low profile by wearing a black baseball cap and a blue face mask, while carrying a brown shopping bag from Cursive New York.

Ceretti, 27, complemented her outfit with a black bag slung over her right shoulder.

The pair's relaxed demeanor suggested they were enjoying each other's company, away from the spotlight.

The public appearance comes as DiCaprio prepares to release his new movie, One Battle After Another, starring alongside a star-studded cast, including Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, and Benicio del Toro. Ceretti attended the film's world premiere in Los Angeles on September 8, where she mingled with the crowd in a stunning white gown.

The Oscar winner and Italian model have been making headlines since their romance began in 2023.

In a March interview with Vogue France, Ceretti opened up about the challenges of dating a high-profile figure like DiCaprio. 

"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," she said.

"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. 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 emphasised the importance of genuine love and confidence within their relationship.
