Leonardo DiCaprio, the 50-year-old heartthrob known for his high-profile romances, has sparked a frenzy on social media following viral rumors that he is engaged to his current girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti.
Fans go wild over DiCaprio engagement rumor
The speculation gained traction after an email to the gossip blog DeuxMoi hinted at a possible engagement, leaving fans in disbelief.
DiCaprio, who has long been linked to models, particularly those under the age of 25, was thought to have a specific dating pattern.
At 26, Ceretti, who began dating DiCaprio when she was already 25, is a notable deviation from this trend.
The duo has reportedly been dating since the summer of 2023, and their bond appeared to be strong, leading many to wonder if the actor might finally be ready to take the plunge.
The engagement buzz was further fueled when Ceretti was spotted wearing a heart-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger.
However, the rumors quickly hit a bump when DiCaprio was seen getting close to singer and actress Teyana Taylor, raising questions about his relationship status. Insiders dismissed this as nothing more than a friendly connection.
On social media, reactions to the rumored engagement were mixed.
One fan tweeted, "NAH MY DAWG FINALLY TIED DOWN???" along with a gif of DiCaprio clapping from The Wolf of Wall Street.
Others were skeptical, with one writing, "oh my god??? he's making a life-long commitment to someone over 25????"
One hilarious post joked that Ceretti had "broken the curse," using crying emojis to celebrate the idea.
Despite the online uproar, a close source confirmed to Page Six that DiCaprio is not engaged, dismissing the rumors as "nothing more than an Internet rumor."
The source added that engagement rumors have been circulating for years, with fans speculating about his love life each time he enters a new relationship.
The engagement speculation may have been fueled by DiCaprio's recent milestone of turning 50, with some fans suggesting that the actor might be ready to settle down.
However, the rumors have officially been debunked, leaving fans to wonder what's next for the bachelor extraordinaire.
