Leonardo DiCaprio’s been spending time with model Neelam Gill this summer, and the pair were most recently spotted vacationing in St. Tropez. And naturally, Leo can’t be seen with someone without the internet jumping to certain conclusions, and everyone’s spent the last several weeks convinced he and Neelam are dating. Especially after the Daily Mail published this headline:
“Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, enjoys another day out with rumoured flame Neelam Gill, 28, as they join Tobey Maguire for a yacht trip in St. Tropez”
So….are they dating? Nope. Not so much. Neelam hopped on Instagram to clear things up, writing a simple statement that read “Just to clear up any rumors… I am not Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘new flame.’ In fact, I am in a committed relationship with his good friend, and have been for many months now. The only reason we have been pictured in the same vicinity is because I have been there with my partner.”
Neelam added that she hopes her statement “clears up all the false stories.”
Meanwhile, Leo does appear to still be dating Gigi Hadid, at least according to a People source back on July 6 who said they were vibing in the Hamptons. “They were with separate groups of people but partied together for two nights. They were flirty and Gigi looked happy. It’s pretty obvious that they are seeing each other. Maybe not exclusively, but they are definitely dating. It’s just always very predictable: Leo shows up to parties first, then Gigi second. It’s like a game.”
Kay!
