Leonardo DiCaprio has always been in a class of his own. The actor, whose Hollywood career goes back to the late '70s, has delivered one critically acclaimed film after another throughout his career. These include dramas he did as a young up-and-comer, like Basketball Diaries and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, as well as hits from his later years, including The Departed, Inception, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Indeed, DiCaprio pretty much rules the film world, much like he rules the dating scene. Over the years, the Hollywood A-lister has been linked to a lot of gorgeous women (including his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet, although their relationship has always been strictly platonic). As far as the ones that DiCaprio has dated, however, it seems that DiCaprio prefers to be with much younger women. Interestingly, his smallest age-gap relationship also ended over two decades ago.

It may not come as a surprise that DiCaprio’s smallest age gap relationships were with women that he dated when he was relatively young himself. When Leo was under age 30, he had a few relationships with women who weren't that much younger than him — at least, fewer than 20 years' difference.
One relationship was with Gisele Bündchen; according to reports, the former couple started dating after DiCaprio spotted Bündchen and asked her out. They went on to become one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples up until their breakup in 2006.

During an interview with Vanity Fair in 2009, Gisele gushed about her ex calling him a “really wonderful person.”
Bündchen also revealed that she has also remained in touch with both DiCaprio and his mother and that the actor still had one of her dogs. “We know what we had,” she later added. “We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously.”
As for Leo's other smaller age-gap exes, there aren't many; Leo and Bar Rafaeli are over a decade apart, Blake Lively is 13 years younger, and rumored girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach is 15 years younger.

DiCaprio probably couldn't care less about the Reddit graph or the many comments about his dating history. Just the same, the actor is reportedly trying to go out with women who are closer to his age. That said, this seems to be easier said than done for DiCaprio.
For instance, following his split with Morrone, the actor reportedly had a brief romance with model Gigi Hadid, who was 27 at that time. Not long after that, DiCaprio dated model Victoria Lamas in 2022. At that time, Lamas was 24.
That same year, the actor was also linked to 20-year-old model Eden Polani, although their romance was never confirmed.
