Leonardo DiCaprio is praised for his acting skills and fans were disappointed year after year until 2016 when he finally received the most important award for an actor – an Oscar. He is also respected for spreading awareness about climate change as he became the United Nations Messenger of Peace for Climate Change in 2014 and he is involved in several other environmental organizations.

However, people couldn’t help but notice his interesting choices when it comes to his relationships. It seems that while the actor is getting older, the women he dates don’t. And people think that his most recent break-up with 25-year-old Camila Morrone proves the theory that the actor doesn’t date women older than 25 which they see as problematic and ridiculous. To express their disappointment, people went to Twitter and shared some hilarious memes that reflected the situation perfectly.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who will be celebrating his 48th birthday in November, has been in a relationship with actress and model Camila Morrone for the past 4 years. While the couple kept their relationship private, people noticed that they started dating back in 2018 and they officially announced it in 2020. DiCaprio was 43 then and Morrone was just 21 and when the model turned 25 in June, people almost expected a break-up and it actually happened.

The reason why this break-up caused such a strong reaction on the internet is because people have long noticed that the actor never dates anyone over the age of 25. Actually, the median age of his girlfriends over the years is 22 and they just find it weird.

Let’s look at his dating history. At the beginning of his career, DiCaprio was linked with Bridget Hall and at the time they split, they both were still teenagers, although DiCaprio was 19 and Hall was 16 years old.

Then, DiCaprio had a relationship with model Naomi Campbell. This time, his girlfriend was older than him but they split when she was 24 and he was 20. At 22 years old, the actor ended his relationship with Kristen Zang who was the same age as him. DiCaprio then shortly dated Eva Herzigová and they broke up at the ages 23 and 24 respectively.

These relationships don’t seem that suspicious because DiCaprio dated women who were still in his age group, but from there people started to notice that even though the actor was getting older, he was stuck on women who were younger than him and the oldest that he dated was 25.

In 2005, when DiCaprio was 30, he split from 24-year-old Gisele Bündchen who he dated for 5 years. He then got together with supermodel Bar Refaeli and dated her for 6 years as well, ending the relationship when the woman was 25. He briefly dated Blake Lively when she was 23 and had a 10-month-long relationship with 23-year-old Victoria’s Secret model Erin Heatherto.

At the age of 40, DiCaprio dated another model. She was 22-year-old Toni Garrn and the relationship lasted for about a year. In 2016, he had yet another few-months relationship with Kelly Rohrbach and the couple broke up when the actor was 41 and the model was 25.

During 2016 and 2017, he dated model Nina Agdal and they broke up in May, after she turned 25 years old in March. Before starting his relationship with Camila Morrone, DiCaprio was coupled with 23-year-old Lorena Rae even though the actor denied anything happening between them.

In the beginning, it was kind of a joke that the actor wouldn’t date women over 25 years old and would break up with them at the age when their brains are fully developed. But when it happened again with Morrone and when among all of his relationships, the oldest woman he dated was 25 years old, it just seems wrong how not only is there an age limit but also how the age gap is increasing.

There are a few theories of why it might be happening. It may be linked with his first scandal that he experienced and it happened when he was 25, so psychotherapist Noel McDermott says, “Leo may feel like the trauma of the event meant he should only date someone of the age he was when this happened.”

It could be that he is avoiding a mature relationship because he has troubles being vulnerable and authentic or he wants to feel forever young and him being able to date young women proves to him that he still has it.

He may think that younger women are easier to manipulate and please with gifts. They are still impressionable and can be molded into something they wouldn’t become on their own. It’s easy to speculate but we may never know the true reason or it could be just coincidence but it’s hard not to notice a pattern.

Do you find Leonardo DiCaprio dating younger women problematic? Do you think he is purposefully breaking up with women before they turn 26? Is a big age difference concerning in a couple in general? Let us know your opinions in the comments.
