Vittoria Ceretti ‘Has Become the Priority’ for Leonardo DiCaprio: Friends Say Actor Is ‘Whipped’

Leonardo DiCaprio is having a great time with current girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti and his friends say he sure is smitten as he spoils her like a princess and considers the next big step in their relationship: moving her full time into his Hollywood home. 

“No one has seen Leo this in love or this devoted to a woman, really ever,” a source close to the Titanic star, 50, exclusively tells In Touch. “He has totally integrated her into his family,” the friend continues, which is an odd move that signals something much more important is going on behind the scenes, as “usually, he keeps his girlfriends a little distant from his parents, but Vittoria is completely in the mix.” 

The Italian model, 26, was spotted hanging out with her A-list beau and his mom while celebrating his 50th birthday in November 2024, when all three took a private jet for an exclusive Mexican getaway. Vittoria walked next to the Oscar-winner’s mom, smiling together, meaning they’re most likely getting along as the runway model gets serious with Leo.

The insider says the constant presence of Vittoria is “the same with his friends’ circle.” 

“His loyalty is usually to his ‘boys,’ but since he met Vittoria, she’s become the priority over his time with his guy friends. He still hangs out with them, but Vittoria is usually included and if she’s not it’s because she’s off working somewhere out of town.” 

Leo and his Gen-X Rat Pack, which includes old friends Toby Maguire and David Blaine, have a rather notorious reputation in Hollywood as lothario partygoers and flaky womanizers and were often caught wreaking havoc on the 1990s party scene. 

Even into middle age, the What’s Eating Gilbert Grape star is known to change out his partner for a newer model every few years. His dating history is basically a journey down the call sheet of a Victoria’s Secret runway show, and it includes Gisele Bündchen, Nina Agdal, Toni Garrn, Kristen Zang, among others. He recently called things off with actress Camila Morrone after five years of dating, right after she turned 25. Similarly, he had a brief fling with model Gigi Hadid, despite her being 27, and followed her up with 23-year-old Victoria Lamas, whose famous father, actor Lorenzo Lamas, said, “I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday. Enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts.”

While that may have been sage advice for Victoria, considering their relationship imploded, with Vittoria, things seem different. She’s already 26, so beating out most of Leo’s exes when it comes to time served, and she’s been spotted hanging out with his friends and family almost non stop since they started dating seriously.

The change has “been a tough pill for a lot of his friends to swallow and they complain that he’s ‘whipped’ but Leo doesn’t care one bit,” the source continues. “He’s absolutely head over heels for Vittoria and wants her around all the time, to the point where he’s now talking about her officially moving in with him.” 

“It’s a big shock but it does seem like Leo is finally headed towards settling down.”
