Neelam was recently linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio after they spent time together on his yacht in the summer.
But in July, the model squashed romance rumours, telling Instagram followers: ‘Just to clear up any rumours… I am not Leonardo DiCaprio’s new flame.
‘In fact I am in a committed relationship with his good friend, and have been for many months now.
‘The only reason we have been pictured in the same vicinity is because I have been there with my partner. I hope this clears up all false stories.’
A source told MailOnline Neelam is dating Leo’s best friend and confirmed: ‘They are not together and have never been’.
In 2019, Neelam revealed the shocking racism she was exposed to as a child growing up in Coventry.
She recalled how being called a ‘p***’ on her way to school was an every day occurrence and made her hate the colour of her skin.
The activist, who was one of the first British Asian women to become the face of a major campaign when she was chosen as the face of Burberry in 2014, also called for the fashion industry to stop using ethnic minority models as ‘token’ faces.

In a candid interview with Stylist, Neelam said: ‘I remember being a kid and walking to school and someone shouting ‘Paki’ out the window. That was just so normal.’
She added: ‘I’d get comments like, ‘does your Dad own the corner shop?’ or ‘Is he a taxi driver?’ It makes me feel really angry. I could never imagine doing that to someone. It’s not something I’d stand for now and now I’m very outspoken about it.
‘When I was younger I was very insecure and I didn’t think I was pretty because I thought being fair was what made you beautiful. I would always hate the colour of my skin.’
Admitting there has been a change in the representation of ethnic minorities in the fashion industry, Neelam argued that more needed to be done.
The model revealed how many brands appeared to use minority models ‘just to cover their backs’, and even spoke about how her model pals had been missed out on jobs because the designers ‘already had a black girl in the show’.
Neelam rose to prominence after making her debut for none other than Fashion Week favourite Burberry after being scouted at the tender age of 14, and has credited them for making her a household name.
