The Actor's Dating History: A Pattern of Younger Women
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has long been known for his reputation of dating women under the age of 26. However, it appears he has broken his own golden rule by spending the night with actress and singer Teyana Taylor, 33.
The 49-year-old Oscar-winning actor was spotted flirting with Taylor at a New York bash until the early hours of the morning, before leaving together. A source told a US gossip website: "They were dancing very closely. They hung out the whole night and were pretty much in a corner together."
A Departure from the Norm
This new development is a departure from DiCaprio's usual dating pattern, which has seen him date women significantly younger than himself. His current girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, 25, was seen with him at a sushi dinner just hours before his encounter with Taylor.
Taylor, who is best known for her roles in the 2023 White Men Can’t Jump remake and 2021’s Coming 2 America, is set to play singer Dionne Warwick in a biopic. She is 16 years DiCaprio's junior, but would be his most age-appropriate girlfriend yet.
A History of Short-Lived Relationships
DiCaprio's longest relationships have been five years with model Gisele Bundchen, five with model Bar Refaeli, and four with actress Camila Morrone – all of whom were ditched aged 25. Others include actresses and models Erin Heatherton, 22, Kelly Rohrbach, 25, Toni Garrn, 21, and Nina Agdal, 25.
It remains to be seen whether DiCaprio's encounter with Taylor will develop into a full-fledged relationship, or if it will be just another short-lived romance in his long history of dating younger women.
What's Behind DiCaprio's Preference for Younger Women?
Relationship experts have weighed in on the reasons behind DiCaprio's preference for younger women. Some have suggested that it may be due to a desire for control and power in the relationship, while others have speculated that it may be a result of a fear of aging and losing his youthful appeal.
Whatever the reason, it's clear that DiCaprio's dating history has been marked by a pattern of short-lived relationships with significantly younger women. Only time will tell if his encounter with Taylor will be a departure from this norm.
