A Playboy model has claimed that Leonardo DiCaprio had a shocking answer when questioned about dating women over the age of 25.
As we all know by now, the Oscar-winning actor has become renowned for his penchant for dating women who are notably younger than him, typically under the age of 25.
Numerous jokes have been made about the 49-year-old “breaking up” with women once their frontal lobe develops, with some of his previous relationships providing fuel for the quips.
For example, DiCaprio was linked to actress Nina Agdal in 2016, but the duo went their separate ways when Agdal turned 25. The same trend occurred when the Titanic star ended his five-year relationship with actress Camila Morrone in 2022, shortly after she celebrated her 25th birthday.

According to Page Six, an anonymous insider offered insight into why DiCaprio pursues women in a specific age bracket, claiming: “By the time girls reach 25, they’re looking for more – they’re looking to get married and settle down. That is not what Leo wants. He does not want a family and does not want to be around women who may press him for that.”
The source continued: “The minute a girl meets him, the clock is ticking. If she gets too old, in a couple of years, she is gone. If she gets too close, in a couple of years, she is gone. He’s gotten older but his taste has not gotten any older.”
Despite rumors, this perspective comes from an anonymous insider, and it has not been disclosed why DiCaprio and Morrone chose to part ways.

Now, model Hieke Konings has shared claims about the Killers of the Moon star after she allegedly had an encounter with him at an invite-only nightclub in Los Angeles.
Appearing on the cover of the Dutch edition of Playboy, the 22-year-old recalled the night she allegedly met DiCaprio, sharing: “It was in a secret club in LA, one where you only get in by invitation. I saw him sitting there in his black hoodie and black cap and we made eye contact,” as cited by Daily Mail.

Konings claimed that the actor’s manager brought her over to the star’s table, saying: “Leo wants to talk to you,” so she took the opportunity to ask DiCaprio about the alleged under-25-trend. According to her, the Inception star had an unexpected response as he confessed that he was “guilty”.
Allegedly, Konings kissed DiCaprio, but despite what many of his loyal supporters might expect, she said it was “not the best” she’d had. She then told the outlet that she was allegedly invited to go home with him but turned him down.
“He reacted very shocked. Of course, he wasn’t used to it. When I said I didn’t know him well enough, he responded sweetly. I respect that,” Konings revealed.
While it’s unclear whether there’s any truth to Konings’ encounter with DiCaprio, the actor has been linked to Italian model Vittoria Ceretti – who is now 26 – since June 2023.
