Now, we know Leonardo DiCaprio seems to like his girl young, but THIS young? According to reports, the “Wolf of Wall Street” actor is allegedly dating 19-year-old model Eden Poland. The pair were also recently spotted at singer Ebony Riley’s EP launch party — and while DiCaprio himself has not confirmed or denied the claims, social media was quick to chime in.
Last year, the 48-year-old was heavily criticized online as people weighed on most of his alleged model girlfriends over the years never being older than 25. So, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to think he may in fact be in a new relationship — and, as they do, Twitter was sure to let their opinions be heard.

“Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend is so young her high school experience was interrupted by COVID-19,” one user joked in a viral tweet that has received over 390,000 likes. Another continued to quip, “There’s a dog now who’s older than Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend. Let that sink in for a moment.”
Another carried on with the jokes, writing, “48-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio insists that everything is great between him and his 19-year-old girlfriend adding, ‘The only thing that’s difficult is when I have to talk to her.’”
And while many were sharing laughable tweets about the alleged romance, others found it rather disturbing and even suggested that they’re seeing predatory behavior from the photos of the actor and his rumored new girlfriend. “At this point I can’t even join in on the jokes anymore, if leonardo dicaprio is approaching 50 and dating a teenager, then he is an actual sexual predator let’s be clear,” one annoyed Twitter user said.
But they weren’t the only ones feeling that way about it, with another tweeting, “I’m sorry, but a 50-year-old man that dates teenagers is a predator. Being a celebrity doesn’t exempt him from being a creep.”

Given how private he is about his love life, DiCaprio isn’t expected to comment on the rumor that’s got everybody on social media talking, but a lot of social media users seem to be hoping that the two aren’t actually a couple.
Socialites, do you see an issue with a man who is pushing 50 to be dating a 19-year-old or are people making it something that’s bigger than what it actually is?
