Having been spotted out and about together over the past few years, it was only at the 2026 Oscars that Leo and Vittoria officially hard launched their relationship to the public as they attended the awards show together. The move showed how serious the couples' relationship has really become, DiCaprio usually opts to bring a family member as his plus one - the last time a partner attended with him was Camila Morrone in 2020.

What did Vittoria Ceretti say about nepo babies?

In a now archived Instagram Story the model said: I get the whole ‘I’m here and I work hard for it’, but I would really love to see if you would have lasted through the first five years of my career. 

"Not only being rejected, because I know you have an experience with it and you can tell me your sad little story about it (even if at the end of the day you can still always go cry on your dad’s couch in your villa in Malibu)... But how about now being able to pay for your flight back home to your family? Waiting hours to do a fitting/casting just to see a nepo baby walk past you, from the warm seat of [their] Mercedes with [their] driver and [their] friend/assistant/agent taking care of [their] mental health?... You have no f***ing idea how much you have to fight to make people respect you. TAKES YEARS. You just get it free by day one."

She and Leo have rarely spoken publicly about their romance, but she did tell Vogue France in 2025 that it "can be extremely annoying" when "as soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of'—or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter".

"It's not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you," she said, although she never named Leo.
