Nikki Glaser showed no mercy when Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life came under the spotlight at the 2026 Golden Globes.
The 41-year-old comedian, hosting the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, gleefully took aim at several A-listers in the room – with the 51-year-old One Battle After Another star firmly in her sights.
After applauding DiCaprio’s glittering career, Glaser went straight for the jugular, poking fun at his well-documented taste for younger women as he currently dates Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, 27.
‘The most impressive thing is that you’ve been able to accomplish all of this before your girlfriend turned 30,’ she quipped.
Cameras immediately cut to DiCaprio, whose sheepish, visibly uncomfortable reaction – complete with averted eyes – quickly became the moment everyone was talking about.
He even offered up an awkward thumbs up.

Glaser swiftly followed up with an apology for the ‘cheap’ joke, admitting the famously private actor rarely gives the public much to work with beyond his dating history.
She then capped off the roast by asking whether ‘pasta, pasta, and more pasta’ was still his favourite food – a nod to a teen magazine interview from the ’90s – prompting an amused ‘Yes’ from DiCaprio as the crowd erupted.
Ceretti, who first sparked romance rumors with DiCaprio in 2023, did not accompany him to the Golden Globes.
She has also skipped every awards show this season, even as the actor remains a major contender for One Battle After Another.
Just hours before Glaser’s jab lit up the room, DiCaprio was spotted enjoying a low-key dinner at celebrity hotspot E Baldi in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, joined by Ceretti.
The Oscar winner, 51, is 24 years older than the model, 27, but the pair have been quietly going strong since August 2023 – just two months after Ceretti finalized her divorce from DJ Matteo Milleri.
DiCaprio’s long list of past romances includes Camila Morrone, Gigi Hadid, Nina Agdal, Kelly Rohrbach, Gisele Bündchen, and Bar Refaeli.
Meanwhhile, the Titanic star is facing stiff competition this year from Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Lee Byung-hun (No Other Choice), and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).
