Here's the thing: Leonardo DiCaprio does not need a news hook. The cameras show up anyway.
DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, were photographed this week aboard a yacht anchored off Saint-Tropez, in the French Riviera. The group included friends Tommaso Buti and actress Laura Harrier. DiCaprio, 51, was seen shirtless on the back of the boat in swim shorts, having swapped his white baseball hat for a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.
Security personnel were visible at the stern while the group swam. After boarding, the crew relaxed on deck. Standard yacht behavior, thoroughly documented.
Ceretti, 28, and DiCaprio have been romantically linked since the summer of 2023, when they were first spotted together during outings in Europe. The couple has kept their relationship largely private since then, which has not stopped photographers from filing regular dispatches from the French Riviera.
The 'Titanic' actor has a well-documented history of high-profile relationships, typically with women considerably younger than himself. A source told People in March that his relationship with Ceretti was ongoing, though neither party has made formal public statements about it.
Separately, 'Titanic' director James Cameron told Fox News Digital this week that DiCaprio almost passed on playing Jack Dawson in the 1997 film because he felt the role was too easy — a detail that reframes one of the most commercially successful casting decisions in Hollywood history.
