Despite the age difference, it’s still strange that the two couldn’t seem to find each other in the past. It seems like DiCaprio was just as ready as Morrone was to end the relationship. “The only thing that was different between us was the age difference,” she said. “Now it’s just a difference of minutes.”
When Leonardo DiCaprio split from Camila Morrone just months after she turned 25, it fueled the conspiracy theory that he never dates anyone over 25. However, E! News reports that the breakup was because of miles, not years. “Distance played a factor,” a source explained. They said the couple had been spending time apart due to work commitments and that the relationship just “ran its course.”
Morrone was only a teen when she met DiCaprio. According to W magazine, the actor was hanging out at her stepfather Al Pacino’s house when he first locked eyes with the Argentine model. But they didn’t start dating until after she turned 20. Still, their considerable age gap raised more than a few judgemental eyebrows. Morrone addressed the 22-year difference and shot down the haters during an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “There’s so many relationships in Hollywood — and in the history of the world — where people have large age gaps,” she said. “I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”
The predictable way DiCaprio handled the Morrone breakup was, well, predictable. Us Weekly reported that he was back on the scene and working his charms on Gigi Hadid in no time. “Leo does have his sights set on Gigi, but she hasn’t shown an interest,” a source said. “They’re friends, but she doesn’t want to be romantic with [him] right now.”
