According to an exclusive source, Leonardo DiCaprio's discreet relationship with Gigi Hadid aligns with his typical dating behavior. The insider reveals that Leo is currently experiencing immense joy and contentment, as he embraces a life of freedom and indulgence without any restrictions or limitations.
DiCaprio, who is 48 years old, has been romantically connected to Hadid, 28, since September 2022. His friends are aware of his reputation as a perpetual bachelor and believe that he may never commit to marriage. However, they have faith that he will eventually find the right person.
According to an insider, DiCaprio is open to dating someone he truly connects with and is satisfied with leading a single lifestyle. The source mentions that he doesn't have any concerns about settling down and even comments that his friends would be quite shocked if he ever chose to tie the knot.
DiCaprio's relationship with Hadid raised speculation about their romance just a month after his four-year relationship with Camila Morrone ended in August 2022. In September 2022, a source revealed that although DiCaprio was interested in Hadid, she had not shown any reciprocal interest in him.
However, in October 2021, Hadid had a change of heart about DiCaprio, and their friendship evolved into a romantic relationship. This shift occurred after Hadid split from her ex, Zayn Malik, with whom she shares a daughter named Khai, who is now 2 years old.
"They have been having clandestine gatherings and spending private time together," a separate source informed Us in October 2022. "They have a strong connection and are exploring the potential of their relationship."
Despite being seen together multiple times during the fall of 2022, Us confirmed in February that DiCaprio and Hadid had ended their relationship. However, the rumors of a possible reconciliation between the model and the Titanic star were ignited when they were spotted together at a friend's birthday party later that month.
In March, they further ignited speculation when they attended an Oscars party together, with a source revealing that they were inseparable. Two months later, Hadid and DiCaprio were spotted at the same afterparty for the Met Gala.
As their paths continued to intersect, an insider disclosed in June that Hadid and DiCaprio have a "friendly, no-strings 'situationship'."
"They frequently embark on travels, making it advantageous for them to maintain a flexible and unrestricted relationship. Currently, neither of them desires a committed partnership," revealed an insider.
Nonetheless, a different source disclosed exclusively to Us earlier this month that "they are currently exclusive to each other." Despite their relationship remaining "casual," the source confirmed that DiCaprio and Hadid are "dating" and exploring the possibilities.
“Leo wants to take it slower with Gigi because there’s potential there, and he wants to preserve it,” the insider told Us on Thursday, July 13.
