The news that the 50-year-old superstar might be ready to walk down the aisle shocked fans, as he has seemingly resisted settling down after dating a string of young beauties—typically models—for many years.
Engagement talks ignited from an email on the gossip blog DeuxMoi particularly surprised fans, as the "Titanic" star has long been rumored to adhere to a "25 and under" rule when it comes to his high-profile girlfriends.
At just 26 years old, Vittoria is already a rare deviation from this supposed practice, as the couple began dating when she was 25, and they appear to be happily living together since her birthday.
However, an engagement would indeed be a shock for the serial dater, who has established himself as one of the most famous bachelors in the world.
Rumors about Leo and Vittoria's relationship first surfaced in the summer of 2023. Since then, the two have seemingly gotten along well, and speculation of a possible engagement emerged earlier this summer after she was spotted wearing a heart-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger.
However, an insider who spoke with TMZ attempted to quash the engagement rumors.
They claimed that DiCaprio, who celebrated his 50th birthday on November 11, had not given her an engagement ring.
That said, it was reported that Vittoria has had the ring since 2022.
Despite these statements, the jewelry has fueled interest.
Fan theories about the engagement were dashed earlier this year when Leo was seen in an intimate setting with singer Teyana Taylor, who plays his partner in his upcoming film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, which is shrouded in mystery.
However, insiders later claimed that the two were just friends, asserting that DiCaprio is helping the budding actress hone her craft and cope with her breakup with Iman Shumpert.
On X (formerly Twitter), fans alternately congratulated DiCaprio on his supposed engagement, while others couldn't believe he would ever settle down after years of dating top models.
In one humorous post, Vittoria was depicted as a fairy tale heroine who saved Leo: "Oh my God, SHE DID IT! SHE BROKE THE CURSE!!!".
Others were skeptical of the rumors after the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star had primarily dated women aged 25 and younger for years.
"Oh God??? he's committing for life to someone over 25??" wrote one X user.
Some fans joked that the rumors arose because the actor finally turned 50 and decided it was "finally time to settle down."
One fan supported the rumors and joked that the couple wouldn't last long: "I fear he'll break up with her before she turns 30."
But others reacted to the alleged engagement of DiCaprio and Ceretti more sincerely.
