The Hollywood star, 51, has been playfully mocked over the years for romancing and then dumping models and actresses once they turn 25.

His famous exes that fit into this category include Camila Morrone, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, while he is currently breaking the trend by dating Vittoria Ceretti, 27.

Despite still dating her after her 25th birthday, there is still a 24 year age gape between the couple and many other celebrities appear to be following suit.

Leonardo's friends and colleagues including Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Bradley Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaal are all in relationships with large age-gaps.

The actors have a strong professional and personal relationship and a well documented bromance after working in the industry together for years.

It comes as no surprise then that Brad's dating habits are similar to his friend's.

In December it was revealed that Brad was spending his birthday with his live-in girlfriend and they were 'more in love than ever', a source told Daily Mail.

The insider added because he was starting a new film in Ireland in the new year so he was savouring 'some much-needed down time at the moment.'

The couple have been together since 2022 and it marks his first serious public relationship following his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

They waited until 2024 to make their red carpet debut together and it revealed at the time, that Brad feels 'happy' to have Ines 'by his side'.

A source told Entertainment Tonight in 2024: 'Brad and Ines are doing well in their relationship. 'Brad is happy to have her by his side and is focused on the future.'

The insider shared: 'He's trying not to let any worries or issues from the past get to him and appreciates how much he has grown as a person and wants to continue to do so.'

Prior to that, a source claimed that Brad 'finally feels happy again'.

The insider told People: 'Although he's always been surrounded by trusted friends, he still had years when he felt very lonely.

'Sharing his life and living with Ines now makes his very happy. Ines is great. She doesn't come with any baggage and is able to just support him.'

Brad's close friends ultimately 'just [want] him to be happy' with Ines.

The Meet Joe Black star - who was married to Angelina between 2014 and 2019 - is now firmly focused on the future, rather than worrying about his past relationships.

The insider shared: 'The long-drawn drama with Angelina used to really get to him, especially the custody drama and abuse allegations. It's been very stressful for him to have to defend over and over again.'

'They were in the Raising Cane suite together, they were cute, they were touchy feely,' an eyewitness told Daily Mail. 'They talked to Todd Graves and Jamie Foxx.'

They were also seen arriving at the event together, though she walked a step in front of the star.

The budding star shared photos to Instagram while in her VIP suite, but did not reveal she was with Orlando. 

When they exited the stadium together she seemed to hide her face with her long hair as Bloom wore a black leather jacket and matching cap while he added black slacks and gray sneakers.

They were clearly together as she held onto his arm while they walked in step to their car.

Gigi previously offered rare insight into her relationship with Bradley during a Vogue interview, describing how the actor has given her a sense of normalcy when it comes to dating. 

'He has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that's something that's so nice to bring back into my life,' she said, later adding, 'I just feel really lucky.'

She also gushed about Bradley again at the Met Gala in May, revealing she spent the morning with him before the star-studded event.

'I woke up. I was with my man. We had a chill morning, some laughs, you know,' Hadid shared, before admitting she fueled up on 'chicken fingers and fries' ahead of the night.

Lewis and Kaia, who have almost a ten year age gap, were first linked a year ago when when they were spotted on holiday together in Los Cabos, Mexico.

They kept their relationship under wraps initially but were seen enjoying a birthday dinner for Lewis in Los Angeles shortly after.

The couple began dating following Kaia's split from her ex-boyfriend Austin Butler, 34, who was also a decade older than the model.

Following several sightings together, Lewis showed his support for his partner at the opening night of her theatre debut in Evanston Salt Costs Climbing. 

A source told Us Weekly at the time that they had 'actually been together for a while now, and that they tarted dating in early December but kept the relationship under wraps until the news of her and Austin's split came out.'

According to the insider they met because they run in the same circles but began 'seriously hanging out' in places they weren't likely to be recognised.

They made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival in September, at the premiere of The Testament Of Ann Lee.

Speaking on their romance for the first time the following month, Kaia told the Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast that she feels like a 'lot is being healed' in their 'healthy' relationship.

She also addressed their age-gap, and said that typically it would mean she would 'lose herself' in the relationship.

According to Kaia, she'd lost herself in some of her previous relationships for this reason, and said: 'I would completely just change my personality and my values for someone.

'I always dated people that were older than me, so I was very willing to give up everything. 

I was like, "I can show you I love you by completely giving up my life for you," which is actually not how you build respect and trust, and is not good in the long run.'

She also praised their friends-to-lovers arc as she shared: 'I really feel like if you have the opportunity to date a friend, do it, because it just is so much better.'

She added, 'I would never want to fight with my friends. I never want to be mad at my friends. I respect my friends. It just is a whole other thing.'

Recently, they reunited in public for the first time in months after swirling split rumours.

They appeared to be in high spirits as they went for a ride in his Porsche convertible and stepped out in Los Angeles together.

The pair were photographed holding hands, putting the breakup rumours to rest.

They had recently been the subject of ongoing split speculation as they were last publicly spotted together in September in photos obtained by the Daily Mail.

On the same podcast episode, she also shared her thoughts about age-gap relationships as Pullman is eight years older than her.

Sources told Page Six that Scooter had been 'obsessed' with the star after their meeting and began 'pursuing' her following the wedding

In early September, they were confirmed to be 'casually' seeing each other and their romance has apparently gone from strength to strength since.

According to reports Sydney feels committed to Scott, who is best known for previously managing acts such as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

They appear to have got back on track following reports Scooter was 'furious' when Sydney was reportedly spotted getting into a car with her ex Jonathan Davino.

The Hollywood bombshell spent seven and a half years with restaurateur Jonathan, 41, until news of their breakup circulated in early 2025. 

They were seen after dining with friends in Santa Monica, where sources claim she shouted at him, 'I don’t believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.'

An insider said at the time:'Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great. They're in a committed relationship and things are serious.' 

A second source also confirmed the couple's deepened connection, adding: 'Scooter and Sydney are still going strong.' One insider said that the couple 'have a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think.'

'I was in a relationship for a very long time, for seven and a half years, and I never talked about it. I was very private. No one would ever see us,' she said.

'I think it’s important to have some things for myself. I understand that I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like.'

She recalled: 'At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work - and now I want to experience things. But it’s hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I’m just navigating it all.'

The revelation came after a source claimed Scooter was 'furious' when he learned about Sydney's encounter with Jonathan in November, via The Sun.

An insider has also stated Scooter has grown 'frustrated' over the soccer players sliding into Sydney's DMs on Instagram in a manner he regards as 'incredibly disrespectful,' despite the fact she 'ignores them and blocks the sender.'

The insider shared: 'Sydney has always been fiercely independent', the source explained. She values time alone - whether that’s travelling by herself, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off.'

Meanwhile her boyfriend 'prefers togetherness, and he’s still adjusting to that,' said the source, while noting Sydney was 'completely transparent' with him.

'She shows him everything to be honest. Seeing how relentless some of these men are can upset him - but she always reassures him.
