Leonardo DiCaprio is "open to a serious relationship for the first time" with Vittoria Ceretti.

Leonardo DiCaprio appears to be planning a future with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. Sources close to the couple told People that the 51-year-old actor is seriously considering his girlfriend for the first time in his life.

"The relationship with Vittoria feels different and more serious. Leo genuinely cares for her and shows more affection than his friends have ever seen with other women," the source said, noting that the couple may not be ready for marriage yet, but the actor is "open to a serious relationship for the first time."

According to the source, DiCaprio is attracted to the fact that the 28-year-old supermodel also has her own life and is independent.

DiCaprio and Ceretti have been dating for almost three years, and recently made their first official public appearance as a couple. It happened at the 98th Academy Awards, where the actor was nominated for Best Actor (but ultimately lost). Previously, they were spotted shopping together, with the supermodel actively helping her boyfriend choose a fashionable outfit.

Earlier, Western media reported that Vittoria "set herself the goal" of marrying DiCaprio at any cost, despite his status as a confirmed bachelor and hedonist. And to achieve this, she allegedly even had to put up with his "oddities" and "pretend."

DiCaprio has never been married, has no children, and is famous for never having dated anyone over 25. Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Toni Garrn, Nina Agdal, and others—DiCaprio broke up with all of them before or just before their 25th birthdays. However, with Ceretti, the actor broke his own "law." He also introduced the model to his parents. However, the star's inner circle recently denied reports of the couple's engagement.
