At first we thought it was a joke, but the pattern kept repeating itself over and over again. We realized that it was a rule, it became a law like Newton’s Law. We could call the new phenomenon the Leonardo DiCaprio Law, which essentially tells you not to date anyone over 25 no matter how old you are yourself. It also requires breaking up with the person around their 25th birthday, so if you want to stay with them for longer, it’s best to find someone who is the youngest legal option possible. 

Because that is how the Hollywood star seems to function. He was spotted spending time with 19-year-old model Eden Polani at a music release party in Los Angeles for Ebony Riley's EP. It is important to say that neither Leonardo nor Eden denied or confirmed their relationship, so it’s all just speculation for now, but it wouldn’t be the first time when a celebrity couple were spotted together just to announce their relationship later.

Despite it being rumors, it didn’t stop the internet from running with it and creating memes, jokes and expressing opinions about it. And the opinion is that it’s wrong. Romantics would say that age is just a number and it doesn’t matter for love, but realists believe that DiCaprio purposefully targets younger women and don’t approve of that.

I have a bit of a 'meh' attitude when it comes to this type of thing. If a guy wants to be a 50 year old club boy his whole life...I don't care. That's his life. She's an adult. Yes she 19 and it's creepy and gross but he's not an extraordinary person-he's an aging actor with a beer gut. So she's with him to further her career and get photographed or wants to enjoy his money for a while-and that's her life. But I'm not going to treat her like a victim when there are real victims out there. If she wants to get used by some old guy as the flavor of the month because she gets 5 minutes of fame and advances her career or just wants attention, that's her choice. As long as it's legal and consensual...whatever. I have more of an issue with this telling young girls if you're pretty you can go 'yachting' with Leo and get your picture taken and become famous. Sorry that your life has led you to being a willing sex object but I hope you realize you are worth more than that.

To be fair, if she's over 18 she's allowed to to date whomever she wants.

True. He’s not exactly a predator grooming high schoolers in anticipation of their 18th birthday. Still a few light-hearted jokes are understandable…

Last I've heard 19 was of legal age, so whatever. I don't even like the guy although I think he's a great actor, but he's not breaking any laws and if it consensual then it's not creepy

While 19 is legally an adult, most people don’t consider it an adult. You can’t drink, you can’t rent a car, you can’t go into clubs and her brain isn’t even fully developed so she’s not logical enough to make adult decisions. She just got out of high school, she still looks like a child. She’s young and ignorant when it comes to the real world. She probably doesn’t see the harm in dating a guy 30 years older than her because she’s just happy to be wanted.

SomI guess you’re not a fan of George Clooney, the pre-Amal version? I mean, it looks like he found the right—-and way more age appropriate—-woman, and just passed the “rich and famous old fart dating starry-eyed 18 - 20 year olds” reins to Leo.

I would love for Ryan Reynolds to address this, in his own special way. Blake became "too old" for Leo and as a result we got the best couple in Hollywood - Ryan and Blake. How can Leo not be kicking himself right now?

My parents have a nine-year age gap. They were romantics and nobody really thought anything of it. As a matter of fact, my mother hit on my father first. Still, I wouldn't ever date a guy more than ten years older than me. Love is love, but so is common sense.

if she's ok with being with an old man, and he's okay knowing that she's in it for reasons other than love, then who the heck am I to judge the decisions of two adults ? I

So sad and sexist... unless, of course, you make a similar series for Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (23 years dif.), Madonna and Timor Steffens (29 years), Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart (17 years), Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble (25 years), Allison Janney and Philip Joncas (20 years), and, of course, many many other couples where the "cougar" is paired to a younger man. You are so sad and pathetic!

The creep equation: Half your age + 7 = the youngest person you can date without automatically being a creep (you may be a creep anyway) Leonardo DiCaprio: (48/2) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31 = Creep.

Never thought I would say this, but this is toxic math and also completely random. Why +7? Why not +8? +9? +6? Who decides on that? You?

In August last year, Leonardo DiCaprio ended his relationship with Camila Morrone, just a couple of months after her 25th birthday, confirming the internet’s theory that the Hollywood star does that on purpose and his girlfriends do have an expiration date.

Bored Panda collected the reactions people had then into this article and they weren’t positive, as people were openly mocking the actor and accusing him of being a predator because he only targeted young women without exception.

It amazes me that Dane Cook has a comedy career...but also, that joke did make me laugh.

The Oscar-winning actor turned 48 last November and it seems that he is sticking to his old habits because if the new rumors are confirmed as the truth, he is now dating a 19-year-old model.

Leonardo DiCaprio attended Ebony Riley’s EP release party and a photo captured him sitting next to Eden Polani. There is not a lot known about her, but she is a model signed with the talent management agency ITM Models, a social media personality and Instagram influencer.

ADVERTISEMENT

That made people think that the two of them must be dating, because it sometimes happens that if a single celebrity is spotted spending time with someone who might possibly be a love interest, it can turn out to be true and be sort of an introduction to their relationship.

We might not know if this is the case until DiCaprio or Polani announce it officially, but unofficially, there were already statements given.

ADVERTISEMENT

Various websites that specialize in pop culture and celebrity life like TMZ, People, Page Six and others report that a source close to Leo told them people are assuming something that is not true and not every woman the actor is seen next to is his new girlfriend.

The source has been quoted, “Leo and Eden just so happened to have been seated next to each other at the party, and were hanging in the same group… Just because Leo might be talking to or sitting with a girl doesn't mean he's dating her."

ADVERTISEMENT

Between August and January, Leonardo DiCaprio was linked with other women too. People were actually very surprised when it surfaced that the actor might be dating Gigi Hadid as a photo showed them at a New York Fashion Week party at Casa Cipriani in September, and were almost proud of him because the model is 26 years old, but it was never confirmed.

The man was also spotted with 23-year-old actress Victoria Lamas when they were leaving The Birds Streets Club in West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. They left separately, but got into the same car, so people assumed there was a relationship blooming.

Their suspicions were denied by the woman’s dad, who told the public, “She's fond of him, obviously. But they're not dating, and she does not want that out there because that would be really bad. It'd be embarrassing for her if he should happen to read something that said that they're dating and they're not."

He has to right? I mean, 48 and 19...I can't even comprehend the difference and I'm 35. That's soo much difference.

Do you think that this time the rumors are true? Do you think that sitting next to each other at a party means something? Also, how do you feel about the age difference if it turned out that the two of them were a couple? Do you think it’s none of people’s business or should the problem be addressed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

This is totally predatory behaviour. But since Leo is a Hollywood star, it’s seen a quirky and alright.

But look at history, no one would stone him in the 1300s. It was normal then.
