Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the most anticipated stars at the 2026 Oscars. The actor, nominated for Best Actor for ‘One Battle After Another,’ surprised attendees at the 98th Academy Awards by appearing for the first time with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. The 51-year-old actor, who had always attended award ceremonies with his mother, Irmelin, his loyal companion and biggest supporter, chose this time to arrive with his partner, the 27-year-old Italian model he has been dating for the past two years. The notable choice quickly stirred up a buzz on social media, with many applauding the couple’s Oscars debut.
Impeccably dressed in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie, DiCaprio walked the red carpet alone. But once inside the theater, he watched the ceremony alongside his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, who looked radiant in a burgundy gown with her hair swept up. It marked their first appearance together at the Oscars as a couple. They had never appeared together at an awards ceremony before, and what better platform than the Academy Awards to showcase their love?
