Leo DiCaprio Not Flirting With Teyana Taylor at Pre-Oscars Party, Strictly Friends Despite Touchy Pics
March 12 2024, Published 4:30 p.m. ET
Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor are just friends, and nothing more, despite what seemed like major PDA taking place between the two at a pre-Oscars party, RadarOnline.com has learned. Sources shared that the duo are pals who recently starred in a movie together, noting that DiCaprio, 49, is still dating model Vittoria Ceretti, 25.
Insiders also shared that Taylor, 33, is solely focused on her children — daughters Iman "Junie," 8, and Rue Rose, 3 — amid her divorce from Iman Shumpert.
Other sources reiterated DiCaprio and Taylor's platonic friend, telling TMZ there's nothing romantic between them and that their interaction at a William Morris Endeavour (WME) party on Friday night was just two buddies catching up. MWE is one of the top talent agencies in Los Angeles so it's no surprise the A-list superstar and Teyana, a triple threat in the industry, were at the star-studded bash; however, when photos circulated showing their touchy interaction, their closeness came into question.
One party picture captured DiCaprio placing his hand on Taylor's bare and exposed lower back as they leaned toward each other to talk. The Oscar winner was also caught with his arm around his costar's waist while locked in conversation.
A different angle showed Taylor fixing DiCaprio's ponytail through his baseball cap.
Despite the stars appearing touchy-feely at the party, insiders spilled that there's no romance between them — although, they would make a super hot couple.

As for Taylor, she's been fighting her NBA player ex in a nasty divorce battle since filing to end their 7-year marriage in January 2023.
RadarOnline.com broke the story — after she claimed Shumpert had not paid “one cent of child support … for anything for the minor children such as food, clothing, shoes, grooming, extracurricular activities, or anything else, other than the oldest minor child’s tuition" since their split, Iman shot back, denying her allegations.
