Critics Choice Awards 2024: Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, risks an awkward encounter with ex Camila Morrone, 26, as couple BOTH attends the awards (and he's skipping the red carpet!) – amid his latest age gap romance with Vittoria Ceretti

Leonardo DiCaprio narrowly missed an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Camila Morrone, whom he dated for nearly five years before calling it quits in 2022, at the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night.

While he opted to skip the red carpet, the 26-year-old actress, who was nominated for her role as Camila Alvarez in the hit series Daisy Jones & the Six, put on a show-stopping show in a white peplum dress, by Chanel Haute Couture, with a plunging neckline as she posed for photographers outside The Barker Hangar.

The model appeared cheerful as she waved to onlookers before entering the same room as DiCaprio, 49.

The Titanic actor, who received rave reviews for his recent film Killers of the Flower Moon, is competing against Cillian Murphy, Bradley Cooper, Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright for Best Actor.

She seemed unfazed by the possibility of running into her former lover, who had broken up with her just months after her 25th birthday.

Although she is currently single, he has since moved on with Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who turned 25 in June.

In August 2022, DiCaprio and Morrone 'quietly' ended their relationship The sun.

The latest breakup seems to reinforce a pattern the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star has established of never publicly dating a woman over 25.

“Leo and Camila ended their relationship this summer,” the source said. 'There are no bad feelings between them. It just came to a natural conclusion.”

The Revenant star, who is 22 years older than Camila, first met Camila in 2008, when she was just 12.

His longtime friend Al Pacino, who dated Camila's mother Lucila Solá for years, made the introductions, and Leonardo apparently remained friends with the family for years.

Leonardo and Camila officially got together sometime in 2017, following his split from model Nina Agdal, just days before the Cannes Film Festival, although representatives for both initially denied they were together.

The two raised the profile of their relationship the following year when they attended Ellen DeGeneres' birthday party together, and later in the year they were seen showing off some PDA at Coachella.

Later in 2018, an anonymous source said People that the relationship had seriously escalated, as the two were “very much in love and serious” and were “talking about engagement.”

The source claimed that Leo had “never loved a girl so much,” and that he was even considering having children with his new love.

In 2019, Leo's commitment to not publicly discussing his relationship was put to the test when both he and Camila had films premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.

He was representing his Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood as she walked the red carpet for her critically acclaimed drama Mickey And The Bear, but the two did not walk together at either screening and he did not identify her as his. girlfriend at the festival.

Later in the summer of 2019, Camila reminded her fans of Leo's penchant for dating young women when she posted a romantic photo of Humphrey Bogart and his much younger wife Lauren Bacall.

“A love like this,” she wrote, although many fans criticized her for dating a much older man.

“My god, people are so mean and full of anger towards people they know nothing about,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories in response to the controversy. “I just hope this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hate and spend their time and interests elsewhere, because living without hate feels pretty good.”

In 2020, they continued their pattern of walking the red carpet separately, but made their first public appearance as a couple when they sat together at the Oscars ceremony that year.

By December, E! News reported that they had taken the big step to move in together.

Throughout 2022, the couple was seen as affectionate and was reportedly as bonded as ever.

DiCaprio was even seen taking the dogs Camila bred on solo walks, suggesting that he considered himself as much of a parent to them as she did.

In June, the Wolf Of Wall Street star was pictured on a beach outing with his father and Al Pacino, who Camila considers her stepfather even after he split from her mother.

One of the last public sightings of the two appeared to be an outing on a beach in Malibu on July 3, although they were not pictured together at the time.
