Leonardo DiCaprio and his model-turned-actress girlfriend Camila Morrone
have reportedly called it quits after five years together.
The
47-year-old Academy Award winner and the 25-year-old beauty 'quietly' ended
their relationship earlier this summer, a source close to Leo claimed to The
Sun on Tuesday.
The latest breakup seems to reinforce a pattern
the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star has established of never publicly
dating a woman over the age of 25.
Insiders close to DiCaprio
claimed to the publication that he and Morrone had been growing apart
recently.
'Leo and Camila ended their relationship over the
summer,' a source said. 'There are no bad feelings between them. It just
came to a natural conclusion.'
The Revenant star, who is Camila's
senior by 22 years, was first introduced to Camila back in 2008, when she
was only 12.
His longtime friend Al Pacino, who had dated
Camila's mother Lucila Solá for years, made the introductions, and Leonardo
apparently remained friends with the family for years.
Leonardo
and Camila officially got together sometime in 2017, following his breakup
with model Nina Agdal just days before the Cannes Film Festival, though
representatives for both initially denied that they were together.
The two raised their relationship's profile the following year,
when they attended Ellen DeGeneres' birthday party together, and they were
seen later in the year showing off some PDA at Coachella.
Later
in 2018, an anonymous source told People that the relationship had escalated
in seriousness, as the two were 'very in love and serious' and 'talked about
getting engaged.'
The source claimed that Leo had 'never loved a
girl like this,' and he was even considering having children with his new
love.
In 2019, Leo's commitment to not publicly discussing his
relationship was tested when both he and Camila had films premiering at the
Cannes Film Festival.
He represented his his Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon A Time In
Hollywood, while she walked the red carpet for her acclaimed drama Mickey
And The Bear, but the two didn't walk together at either screening, and he
didn't identify her as his girlfriend at the festival.
'A love like this,' she captioned it, though many fans
criticized her for dating a much-older man.
'My god, people are
so mean and full of anger with people that they know nothing about,' she
wrote in her Instagram Stories in response to the controversy. 'I guess I
just hope on this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hatred
and place their time and interests elsewhere, because living without hatred
feels pretty good.'
In 2020, they continued their pattern of
walking red carpets separately, but they made their first public appearance
as a couple when they sat together inside the Oscars ceremony that year.
Throughout
2022, the couple were spotted being affectionate and were reported to be as
strongly connected as ever.
DiCaprio was even seen taking the
dogs that Camila had fostered on solo walks, suggesting he considered
himself a parent to them as much as she was.
In June, the Wolf Of
Wall Street star was pictured on a beach outing with his father and Al
Pacino, whom Camila considers to be her stepfather even after his split from
her mother.
One of the last public sightings of the two appeared
to be an outing at a beach in Malibu for the on July 3, though they were not
pictured together at the time.
Now Camila appears to have joined the ranks of Leo's
ex-girlfriends, none of whom are known to have dated the actor past the age
of 25.
At the Academy Award ceremony on March 27 of this year,
co-host Amy Schumer joked about Leonardo's penchant for only dating young
women.
'He's done so much to fight climate change and leave
behind a cleaner, greener planet… for his girlfriends,' she joked.
But
when she explained the genesis of the joke in April on The Howard Stern
Show, Schumer revealed that the Aviator star didn't mind her ribbing.
'He said, "Go ahead." They didn't care,' she said. 'And his
girlfriend, Cami, is the s***. She's actually the coolest b**** you'll
meet.'
Later on Tuesday, Leo was spotted meeting up with some of
his guy friends for lunch in New York City.
The Killers Of The
Flower Moon star dropped by Il Buco while wearing a mask to protect against
the novel coronavirus.
He was dressed to stay under the radar
with a plain white T-shirt and low-key gray cargo shorts. The actor wore a
pale gray NBA baseball cap with the bill tilted down, and he completed the
casual ensemble with black trainers.
DiCaprio and his friends
were seen enjoying some fresh air by eating outside.
