Leonardo DiCaprio's heart sang with joy as he was caught in a loving embrace with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, in photos shared by TMZ. The Titanic actor and the Italian model enjoyed a low-key yet intimate afternoon shopping date in Los Angeles on December 26th. Leonardo, 51, and Vittoria, 27, strolled through a few shops, indulged in a delicious meal, and then shared a rare public display of affection with a sweet smooch.
The couple kept their shopping trip casual and unassuming, both dressed in matching black ensembles. Vittoria opted for a long black coat paired with a cozy sweater, while the Oscar winner donned a black tracksuit and a black puffer jacket to stay warm in the L.A. rain.
Leonardo and Vittoria's romance first blossomed in 2023, but they didn't go public with their relationship until the 2025 Met Gala in May. According to Leo, he has been intentional about keeping certain aspects of his personal life out of the spotlight. "It's been a balance I've been managing my whole adult life," he shared with Time earlier this month, "and still I'm not an expert."
"My simple philosophy is only get out there and do something when you have something to say or show for it," he continued. "Otherwise, just disappear as much as you possibly can."
As for relationships, the Once Upon a Time actor has found that his thoughts on them have shifted as he's gotten older. "It creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time," he told Esquire in August. "I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress. I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it."
Specifically, Leo explained that getting older has made him more selective about his approach to his inner circle. "Being more upfront and risking having things fall apart or risk the disagreements or risk going your separate ways from any type of relationship in life—the personal, professional—it's that you just don't want to waste your time anymore," he added. "You have to be much more upfront. It's almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you."
