Leonardo DiCaprio has once again found himself at the center of attention. At tonight's 2026 Golden Globes, he was on the receiving end of an unexpected joke that drew laughs from attendees and sparked some online chatter.
DiCaprio is nominated for his work in "One Battle After Another," one of the biggest films of the night. At the start of the show, Nikki Glaser set her sights on DiCaprio, making a joke out of one of the most recurring topics when it comes to his public image: the age of his girlfriends.
The joke was a part of Glaser's opening monologue, where she addressed various actors directly, praising their work and making some jokes related to their personas or their work. When DiCaprio got his turn, he was praised for his career achievements and was the source of inspiration for a great joke.
"What a career you've had," said Glaser. "Countless iconic performances, you've worked with every great director, you've won three Golden Globes, an Oscar, and the most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30."
The reaction in the room was immediate, drawing gasps and laughs, including ones from DiCaprio. Glaser quickly softened the joke with an apology. "Leo, I'm sorry I made that joke; it's cheap. I tried not to but, you know, we don't know anything else about you, man. There's nothing else, open up," she added, resulting in even more laughs.
A new chapter with Vittoria Ceretti
Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life has been a topic of discussion for years. Despite being one of the most influential actors of his generation, DiCaprio is also immensely private, always shielding his face while attending private events and being careful to avoid any unnecessary exposure. This preference inspires even more commentary, speculation, and even memes about his romantic history, particularly about his pattern to date women under the age of 25.
Over the past two years, DiCaprio has been in a serious relationship with the Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who is 27. The pair were first linked together in 2023, and while they've yet to discuss their relationship with the world, they don't shy away from spending time together. Over the past year, they've been photographed on vacations, celebrating special dates, and more.
