      Leo has a thing about dating women of a certain age IRL. To a hilarious degree. Nearly every one of his openly admitted girlfriends were dropped at the same age, where shortly after, he would find a younger woman to date and start the cycle anew.

      I think 27 was chosen specifically too. 26 would have been a tighter upper bound.

      ps: just noticed a different version was posted below before, sorry for the repeat

        I love this graph because of how succinctly it summarizes info. But I also hate this graph because it is missing like 10 or 15 other women he has dated of several ages that break the neat pattern. Also, it hides how only like two of those relationships were truly serious, the rest are gossip and tabloid speculation from having seen him “next to them”. It is all very speculative. He does have a weird thing for younger women, but I think that part of it is that most single women on his social circle are going to be aspiring and upcoming super models.

          Oh no, I have been a part of disinfographics propagation. Thanks for the correction. It seems some of the older women (31, Laura Whitman for instance) were not a confirmed long term relationship but there are some rumors that DiCaprio romantically pursued them.

          Really? He’s dated a lot of women, none over 25, that’s not a coincidence. He’s 50 years old BTW.

          Here’s the infographic, from 2022:

            I was asking if it’s a coincidence he keeps breaking up with them at a certain age like a weirdo, or if the relationships just always go poorly anyway.

              Allow me to help give context. This is Leonardo DiCaprio we’re talking about, a very famous movie star. This man can afford to have eccentric personal relationship rules. These women, while much younger, are still adults who can make informed decisions about their own lives. It’s even easier to grasp when you realize this just means they know the relationship has a predetermined max limit.

              Thi2nk of it like a summer fling. Someone comes into town, just for the summer. You really hit it off and both of you want to spend more time with the other. But you both know at the end of Summer, they’re leaving town again. Would you still be willing to enjoy that time together?

              It’s kind of like that, except the other person is Leonardo fucking DiCaprio, and they’re leaving town because they’re rich celebrities who can do whatever they want.

              So yeah, it’s definitely fuckin weird, but that doesn’t exactly make it bad. Those are independent variables.

          My question is mainly why are those women willing to date someone who might as well be their grandfather? I guess the relationship provides many connections they can use to boost their own career. But aren’t they weirded out by that creepy old man at this point? Wouldn’t they rather date Timothée Chalamet?

          I think he’s gay, and these women are hired to be his beards. Part of the deal for them is that they get exposure, and also a chance to rub elbows with the Hollywood elite. All of which would be a lot more enticing to someone just starting out in life and their career.

          It could also be that they still aren’t that emotionally mature and when they turn 25 they realize what a weird situation they are in and thus leave him. I do think it has to be a mutual agreement. It’s too tight to be a coincide and thus far Leo has never been in any scandal or negative comments about the relationships and he is still friends with a lot of them. So, it’s weird, but not in a “creep abuser” kind of weird. I just think he is emotionally stunted from so much fame and power from an early age. It fucks up social development.
