Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone Have Been Dating For Longer Than You May Realise
Leonardo DiCaprio just brought someone other than his mom as his date to the Oscars for the first time in 15 years, so yeah, you could say he and Camila Morrone are the real deal. The 2020 Oscars marked Leo’s first official Hollywood event with the 22-year-old actress and model, but the two have been quietly dating for over two years (and we have the PDA-filled pics from all around the world to prove it). Camila has had starring roles in Never Goin’ Back and Mickey and the Bear, and she’s already been tapped to star in the forthcoming TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones and The Six. However, one of her most fascinating roles to date has been playing Leo’s latest GF. Check out the gallery for a complete timeline of their two-year romance.
April 2018: Leo and Camila Go to Coachella
Just a few weeks after looking couple-y while out-and-about in LA, the two were spotted engaging in PDA at Coachella by E! News, where Leo tried (and failed) to go incognito in a pair of sunglasses and hoodie. Then, a few weeks after that, Leo and Camila were spotted in NYC wearing matching white T-shirts and looking like total couple of goals.
Nov. 2018: Leo and Camila Attend the EFA Champions in Paris
Nearly a year after their first sighting at Barneys, Leo and Camila stepped out together for a rare public appearance to attend the UEFA Champions League Group C match between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool FC in Paris, where they cuddled and joked around in the stands. A source for E! News claimed that the relationship was starting to get more serious, but marriage wasn’t up for discussion yet. “They’ve been inseparable for the last year and are crazy about one another,” the source said. “They’ve gotten to know each other’s families, and they love being together.”
However, a source for Us Weekly told a very different story. Just a day before E! News ran their story, the magazine reported that a proposal could be forthcoming. The source revealed, “They’re very serious and in love. They’ve talked about getting engaged,” later adding that “he’s never loved a girl like this.”
May 2019: Leo and Camila Go to France for the Cannes Film Festival
A month after Coachella, the two both attended the Cannes Film Festival in France, though they went to separate events (Camila attended the premiere of Mickey and the Bear, while Leo attended the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premiere), and they didn’t step out on the red carpet together. However, Leo was caught playing Instagram Boyfriend for Camila at the Eden Roc Hotel in Cannes, which was almost as good as a red carpet couple photo.
July 2019: Camila Seemingly Defends Her Relationship on Instagarm
In July 2019, Camila posted a series of black-and-white photos of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart on Instagram, captioning the photos, “A love like this.” As the two Old Hollywood actors notoriously had a 25-year age gap, fans were quick to make the connection to Camila’s own 23-year age gap with Leo. She later took to her Instagram Story to defend her relationship against trolls. “I just read some of the comments on my Instagram and my god, people are so mean,” she said. “And, like, full of anger for people they know nothing about. I guess I just hope on this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hatred and place their time and interest elsewhere because living without hatred feels pretty good.”
A few days before she posted the photos, People reported that their relationship was anything but casual. “Camila spends a lot of time at his house,” the source claimed, later adding, “Camila is long known as Leo’s girlfriend. And Leo introduced her to both of his parents long ago.” In early August, Camila and Leo took another PDA-filled trip to Positano, Italy, further proving how crazy they were about each other.
Feb. 2020: Leo and Camila Sit Next to Each Other at the Oscars
Though they didn’t walk the red carpet together, it was revealed during Janelle Monáe’s opening performance that Leo and Camila were sitting next to each other in the front row at the 2020 Oscars. It was the first time in 15 years that Leo had brought a girlfriend to the Oscars, the last time being when he brought Gisele Bündchen as his date in 2005. It also marked Leo and Camila’s first award show appearance together (and hopefully it’s the first of many!).
