When it comes to girlfriends, Leonardo DiCaprio has a type: a woman with an expiration date.
Since 1999, when he started dating model Gisele Bündchen, 18 (they broke up when she was 23), the “Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood” actor has not been publicly attached to a woman over 25. friends have hit the quarter-century milestone, things are going to suck and Leo, now 47, is about to make headlines with his next sweet young thing.
The latest victim of this rigid agist pattern: Camila Morrone, who turned 25 on June 16 and whose split from DiCaprio was announced Tuesday.
The model-actress now joins a gallery of gorgeous young girls who have been let loose by DiCaprio — and a DiCaprio source said it’s because he doesn’t want to be tied up.
“By the time girls reach 25, they’re looking for more — they want to get married and settle down. That’s not what Leo wants. He doesn’t want a family and doesn’t want to be around women who can pressure him to do so,” the DiCaprio source told The Post. “Once a girl meets him, the clock is ticking. If she’s too old in a few years If she gets too close in a few years, she’s gone.
“He has aged, but his taste has not aged.”
Or, to quote Matthew McConaughey’s character in the movie “Dazed and Confused,” “I get older, they stay the same age.”
Twitter, meanwhile, is experiencing a heyday with DiCaprio’s track record.
“The Girl Leonardo DiCaprio Will” dump when he’s 72 was born today,” joked an online wag. Another needle sewn of the actor’s iconic role from 1997: “titanic turns 25 this year and then I assume leonardo dicaprio no longer wants to play in it.”
After business with Bündchen ended in 2004, DiCaprio took on Sports Illustrated model Bar Refaeli; his decision not to attend the Met Ball with Rafaeli has been said to hasten their split.
In 2011, at the age of 35, DiCaprio enjoyed a one-year world sprint in the company of 23-year-old Blake Lively. Between 2013 and 2017, when DiCaprio’s age went from 38 to 42, he dated model Toni Garrn, “Baywatch” remake star Kelly Rohrbach and swimsuit stunner Nina Agdal. They were all in their twenties and according to various reports, every argument was amicable. Agdal began to mold and bite the dust shortly after he turned 25.
DiCaprio met model actress Morrone through fellow Hollywood wolf Al Pacino, who was a legend of Morrone’s mother, Lucila Sola, for a decade. Pacino’s wives are also getting younger, with the 82-year-old most recently associated with Noor Alfallah, 28.
Heidi Fleiss, the former Hollywood madam who knows a thing or two about mating older men to younger women, has also known DiCaprio since he was a baby: Her late pediatrician father and Leo’s father, writer and sometime actor George DiCaprio, were friends. She lives squarely with Team Leo.
“Good for him. I’m on his side,” Fleiss told The Post. “He connects with women who are young and beautiful. He wants people who stimulate him mentally and physically. Why does he have to be with a woman who has been through the wringer, who is desperate to get what she can out of him and wants to tie him up?
“There’s something to be said for dating people who are happy with themselves and excited about life — who can spark new things and ideas that you may not know about yet.”
Fleiss added that it is not a sexist thing: “Look at Jane Fonda. She said if she did something with another man, he would be a younger man.”
Still, not everyone thinks the stubborn May/December look is a good one for DiCaprio.
“Some time ago, a Victoria’s Secret model I know told me that I met him at one of the clubs in Manhattan – meet him and have sex. She told me she thought he was an old man,” said the DiCaprio source. “Now he’s 47 and it’s getting a little scary now that he’s wearing the newsboy cap over his eyes and still wants girls in their early twenties who are not only beautiful but also otherworldly. I spoke to someone who didn’t love him and she called him the ‘Michelin man’.”
That said, the source added, DiCaprio retains the thing that attracts women young enough to be his daughters: “He’s still Jack from ‘Titanic’. It doesn’t matter that he looks more like Jack’s dad these days.” .”
