Vittoria Ceretti is candidly discussing her experiences in a relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, focusing on the challenges posed by the “extremely annoying” labels that accompany dating a globally recognized actor. She emphasizes that being reduced to a mere title can overshadow her individuality and achievements.
In a recent interview with Vogue France, the model shared intimate details about her romance with Leo, referring to him only as a “very, very famous actor” and “one of the most desired people in the world.” This choice of words reflects her desire to maintain a sense of autonomy and not be overshadowed by his celebrity status.
Vittoria reveals that her first encounter with Leo took place in Milan, Italy, recalling that she had admired him on the big screen during his breakout role in the 1997 cinematic masterpiece, “Titanic,” which she describes as “iconic.” This acknowledgment highlights the longstanding impact of his work on audiences globally.
Addressing the subject of societal labeling, Vittoria discusses how being in a relationship with someone who has a larger following often leads to being categorized as “girlfriend of” or “boyfriend of.” This label can diminish personal identity and reduce complex relationships to mere titles, which she finds frustrating.

Vittoria expresses her frustration, stating, “that can be extremely annoying,” as it often leads to people referring to her as “so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex.” Such labels can diminish her own identity and contributions, pushing her into a box that she fiercely wants to break free from.
She articulates her belief that “it’s not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.” This statement underscores her desire for genuine relationships that transcend societal expectations and superficial classifications.
Vittoria also shares valuable insights on navigating relationships with more famous partners. She emphasizes that over time, you learn how to manage the dynamics involved in such romances. She reassures that if both partners are genuinely in love, “because love protects and gives confidence,” there’s no reason to feel insecure about public perceptions.
As previously reported, the couple was rumored to be dating since 2023, following their public appearances together at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France. This event marked a significant moment in their relationship timeline, drawing attention from fans and media alike.
