Actor Leonardo DiCaprio was seen celebrating the coming of the new Calendar year on Saturday on board of a yacht with his new rumored beau, actress Victoria Lamas, who is 25 years his junior.
DiCaprio, 48, and Lamas, 23, were previously seen together at three different events before being spotted celebrating New Year's Eve near the Caribbean Island of St. Barts alongside other Hollywood actors.
Victoria’s father, actor Lorenzo Lamas, spoke with the New York Post last week and divulged more details about his daughter’s new relationship. “She’s very smitten,” he said.
“I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday — just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts. And if it lasts for more than a typical holiday, great. But if not, then just guard your heart.
“They’re friends, they’re not in a serious relationship,” he added. “And I just want that to be clear. And that was my cautionary tale to her: Just take one step at a time. But as of now, they’re not an item. They’re not exclusive with each other.”
Lamas made it clear that the age gap between the two did not bother him. “Age is not really a factor for me as much as respect, trust and communication,”
DiCaprio’s new relationship comes on shortly after he was seen spending the last few months with model Gigi Hadid, 27, and meeting with her family, including sister Bella - an ardent critic of Israel.
DiCaprio was previously in a relationship with Israeli model Bar Refaeli. They broke up when she turned 25.
