Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, was spotted at the 2026 Oscars amid the actor’s big night.
DiCaprio, 51, walked the red carpet solo ahead of the Sunday, March 15, ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Ceretti, 27, joined the One Battle After Another star inside the ceremony, marking the couple’s first appearance together at an awards show since they started dating nearly three years ago.
During Conan O’Brien‘s monologue, Cerretti could be spotted next to DiCaprio as the host made the actor into a new meme.
“TFW you didn’t agree to this,” O’Brien, 62, said as DiCaprio smirked to the camera.
DiCaprio is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in One Battle After Another. Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet, Blue Moon’s Ethan Hawke, Sinners’ Michael B. Jordan and The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura round out the contenders in the category.
A decade before the 2026 Oscars, DiCaprio won his first Academy Award for best actor in 2016 for The Revenant. Throughout his career, he has racked up a total of eight nominations, including best supporting actor for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in 1994, best actor for The Aviator in 2005, Blood Diamond in 2007, The Wolf of Wall Street in 2014 and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood in 2020 and best picture for The Wolf of Wall Street in 2014.
Ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night, Ceretti was absent from DiCaprio’s 2026 awards season run. He attended several notable ceremonies alone, such as the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes in January as well as the BAFTA Film Awards in February. Earlier this month, he missed SAG’s Actor Awards due to his filming scheduling for the upcoming Martin Scorsese movie What Happens at Night.
DiCaprio and Ceretti have been romantically linked since August 2023. That November, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that he was “completely smitten” with the model.
“Vittoria is all he thinks about,” the insider added. “He says she’s not only gorgeous but super down to earth, and they have a ton in common.”
According to the source, DiCaprio also appreciated that Ceretti seemed unfazed by his superstardom.
“She’s not intimidated by his fame at all — she even makes fun of it, ‘the model and the movie star,’” the insider noted. “Leo finds it refreshing.”
As for the couple’s more than 20-year age gap, the source revealed it “clearly isn’t an issue for” DiCaprio, who says his girlfriend “is an old soul.”
While DiCaprio and Ceretti have maintained the low profile the world has come to expect of his romances, they have made a few sneaky public appearances together. In May 2025, he attended the Met Gala with Ceretti, though he avoided the red carpet when she took her turn in front of the cameras. Four months later, she supported him at the One Battle After Another premiere in Hollywood, but this time, she skipped the red carpet as he posed solo.
In an April 2025 Vogue France cover story, Ceretti spoke out about her relationship with DiCaprio while never referring directly to him.
“As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’ — or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,” she said of being labeled as the significant other of a fellow celebrity. “Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex. So it’s not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want because of the labels people need to stick on you.”
Despite the drawbacks of dating in the public eye, Ceretti shared her optimistic perspective on the situation.
“It’s something you learn. If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed,” she added. “Because love protects and gives confidence.”
