Leonardo DiCaprio splits from model girlfriend Camila Morrone after seven years together – months after she turns 25
LEONARDO DICAPRIO is back on the market after quietly splitting from his girlfriend, model Camila Morrone.
Insiders close to the Hollywood A-lister have said the pair grew apart after seven years, and called it a day earlier this summer.
A source revealed: “Leo and Camila ended their relationship over the summer.
“There are no bad feelings between them. It just came to a natural conclusion.”
Of course relationships come and go, but a look back at Leo’s love life seems to hint that the “natural conclusion” could have correlated with the fact Camila turned 25 in June.
And Leo, 47, hasn’t previously publicly dated a woman over that age.

I kid you not. Of all the women the Wolf Of Wall Street actor has dated, including supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli, and actress Blake Lively, none of them have been over the age of 25 when they were together.
Camila previously hit back when quizzed about their 22-year age gap.
During their relationship she was regularly mocked by trolls, including one who told her the romance with Leo would be “over when you’re 25”.”
Camila said at the time: “There’s so many relationships in Hollywood — and in the history of the world — where people have large age gaps. I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”

My thinking precisely, Camila. And what I am about to write will, I am sure, get me lynched by the feminist woke mob.
But if Leo only wants to date incredibly attractive younger women, then why shouldn’t he?
As long as everyone is consenting, people should be free to date whoever they want.
Harry Styles, for example, has always had an eye for an older woman.
As Camila says, anyone should be able to date the person of their choice. Leo, you’re living the dream. Don’t ever stop.
OUT WITH THE OLD…
Gisele Bundchen dated Leo for five years until 2005, when she was 25.
Bar Refaeli was with the actor for the same amount of time and they split in 2009, when she was 25.
Blake Lively came on the scene and the pair dated for five months when she was 23.
Leo then briefly dated model Erin Heatherton, who was 22, and model and actress Toni Garrn for a year before it ended when she was 21.
Kelly Rohrbach dated Leo in 2016. It ended when she was 25.
He was with Danish model Nina Agdal for a year, until she was 25.
NICKI LOOKS QUEEN AND FRESH
NICKI MINAJ looked surprisingly fresh-faced as she checked out of her hotel following a bumper night at the MTV VMAs.
While most of us manage a stained hoodie and joggers after an evening on the town, she was red-carpet ready with sheer trousers and a statement bodice.
Clearly not lacking in confidence, Nicki completed her look with a giant diamante necklace that read, “Queen”. During the celeb-packed event in New Jersey on Sunday, Nicki picked up two Moonmen trophies, including the coveted Video Vanguard Award for lifetime achievement.
Keen to keep the party going, she was seen celebrating later on with Taylor Swift.
Taylor was a surprise guest at the bash, winning three awards for All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).
She then announced her new album, Midnights – so more awards are bound to be coming her way.
NINA’S COLD STANDARD
NINA NESBITT has been praised by Ed Sheeran and X Factor winner James Arthur over the years – but got a real stamp of approval when Coldplay’s Chris Martin asked her to perform with him.
The Scottish singer joined the band on stage to sing their Selena Gomez collaboration, Let Somebody Go, in Glasgow last week, and revealed that Chris had only suggested the idea hours before.
Nina, the support act, explained in an exclusive chat: “It was so mad. He was watching my soundcheck but I didn’t realise.
“Then he came up and asked if I wanted to duet with him later that day. So we sound-checked it straight after that and then went on stage in front of 60,000 people. It was very surreal.”
Nina has another skill, but didn’t show it off on stage. She revealed: “I have got into pole dancing. I saw videos and thought, ‘That’s so beautiful, I want to learn how to do that’, and I’ve done stuff in an aerial hoop for my Summer Fling video, so I thought a pole would be the next step.
“But it was so difficult, I could barely get up on it.
“I’m going to need a few more classes before I crack that out in public.”
Nina can forget about that for now as she has plenty of new music to perform, with her third album Älskar out on Friday. But she had to bin some of its songs to protect herself.
She said: “I write as a form of therapy and then I’m like, ‘I probably don’t want to share that with the world,’ so it’s a tough decision. But I want to share the most honest songs because they are the ones that connect the best.”
ORA’S DASH TO CARNY
RITA ORA looks Hot Right Now in a sheer leotard as she performs for a crowd of 50,000 at Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland.
Then as soon as she finished her set she raced to the airport to jet back to London for Notting Hill Carnival.
Leaving new hubby Taika Waititi at their Los Angeles home, Rita was seen getting into Carnival spirit by dancing with her sister on a windowsill outside a plush West London pad.
Besides secretly marrying Taika earlier this month, Rita has spent most of the summer in the recording studio.
She’s tipped to release new music soon, plus a new album by the end of the year.
CLASSIC ISLE STYLE – BUT WHERE’S THE SUBSTANCE
I CLOCKED snaps of this year’s Love Island winners over the bank holiday and was left with the thought – less Ekin-Su and more Ekin-Who?
Sure, she and handsome partner Davide Sanclimenti are clearly a seriously good-looking pair, but away from the pantomime of the ITV2 villa, it’s clear as day that neither has any real star quality whatsoever.
The latest snaps showed Davide leaving London’s O2 with two blondes, in a manoeuvre straight from the Towie playbook, while Ekin-Su posted a series of astonishingly tedious snaps of herself shopping in upmarket Beverly Hills.
A more unremarkable pair of scenes would be hard to find.
But here’s my point – this is great news for the showbiz world. The sooner these two plummet into obscurity, the quicker other dreary wannabes should realise that the absence of any talent SHOULD be an obstacle to superstardom.
On top of that, neither has shown much of a serious work ethic when it comes to putting themselves out there, just a month after their win.
They even turned down huge cash offers to talk about their victory in the media – instead insisting they could make easier money through a couple of Instagram endorsements. Nor do they appear to have any idea of how to forge a longer-term career in the spotlight with any substance – which is good news for all involved.
No doubt they’ll also lose interest in each other just as quickly.
As a wise man once said, it’s time to Stop Making Stupid People Famous.
BRITNEY EDGING CLOSER
BRITNEY SPEARS is on track to score her first top five single in a decade on Friday.
The US singer has teamed up with Sir Elton John for new track Hold Me Closer – a reworking of his song Tiny Dancer – which was at No3 last night.
The song has been at the top of the iTunes download chart since it was released on Friday.
But it faces tough competition from LF System’s Afraid To Feel, which has spent the past eight weeks at No1, and Eliza Rose’s B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) which is on course for No2.
It will be a close call, though, because only 1,200 copies separate the three songs.
Britney’s last chart-topper was Scream & Shout with will.i.am in 2012, then her only other top ten hit since then was 2013 track Work Bitch peaked at No7.
It’s good to have her back where she belongs.
OLLY EMI RETURN
HE is one of my favourite pop performers, so I could not be more pleased that Olly Murs is preparing to make his comeback.
The singer will drop his first album in four years after signing a new deal with EMI Records.
He said: “I now have a new family, a new team and I can’t wait for this exciting new chapter in my music career.”
