Are Gigi Hadid and Leonardo DiCaprio dating?

This sighting comes shortly after reports emerged that Gigi maintains an amicable connection with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, and they continue to have enjoyable interactions together, as per Us Weekly.

The initial link between Leo and Gigi dates back to September 2022 when they were seen together at a New York Fashion Week afterparty hosted at Casa Cipriani in Soho.

Early sources indicated they were merely acquainting themselves at that time. Their rendezvous occurred in the wake of Leo's separation from his four-year girlfriend, Camila Morrone.

Subsequently, they were spotted exiting the same restaurant, Cipriani, in November, accompanied by a friend.

While news of their split surfaced in February 2023 due to a fading romance, they seemingly reconciled by March, marked by their presence at a pre-Oscars event.

Their interactions continued, including a dinner in London with Leo's father and stepmother, attended by Gigi's friend Neelam Gill.

Reports in July stated that Gigi and Leo were actively dating. Their dynamic was particularly evident during a Fourth of July gathering in the Hamptons, where they displayed flirtatious behavior. Observers noted their pattern of arrival at events, with Leo often appearing first followed by Gigi.

"Gigi looked happy. It's pretty obvious that they are seeing each other. Maybe not exclusively, but they are definitely dating. It's just always very predictable: Leo shows up to parties first, then Gigi second. It's like a game," a source said.

"As long as he is respectful and doesn't cause her any drama, she will continue to see him when she can."

Gigi is a mother to a two-year-old daughter from her previous relationship with Zayn Malik, with whom she had an on-and-off dating history from November 2015 until October 2021.
