Almost three years to the day since her four-year romance with Leonardo DiCaprio came to a close, the former Daisy Jones & the Six member, Camila, made her new love affair with Cole Bennett the talk of the town through a heartwarming birthday tribute on social media. On May 14th, the 27-year-old singer commemorated the 29th birthday of her music video director beau with a series of candid snapshots shared on her Instagram Story. One enchanting snapshot captured her playfully pinching the cheeks of a shirtless Cole, causing his lips to pucker as he gazed intently into the camera lens. Her caption for the image was a simple yet affectionate, "Happy birthday baby."
Among the other photos celebrating Cole, who has collaborated extensively with artists like Eminem, Drake, Doechii, and Lil Yachty, were intimate moments of him indulging in ice cream, sipping from a bottle by the beach, and posing for a mirror selfie with Camila in the bathroom. Throughout these snapshots, Camila referred to Cole as the "coolest ever," showering him with praise.
While this marks the first time Camila has officially introduced her new lover on social media, whispers of their romance first emerged when they stepped out together in July. During that period, they joined Kaia Gerber, Camila's close friend and Never Goin' Back star, and Kaia's then-boyfriend Austin Butler, for a double date in the bustling streets of New York City. Despite maintaining a relatively private stance regarding her current relationship, the 27-year-old has never shied away from discussing her highly publicized romance with Leo, including addressing the criticisms surrounding their two-decade age gap.
"There have been countless relationships in Hollywood and throughout history characterized by significant age differences," Camila shared with The Los Angeles Times in 2019. "I firmly believe that everyone should have the liberty to date whoever they desire." Acknowledging the public's fascination with her relationship and admitting that she would be curious about it too, Camila added, "Your identity should transcend the person you're dating."
She further elaborated, "I get the connection people make, but I'm confident that this aspect will gradually fade and become less of a focal point in conversations."
