Leo DiCaprio’s mom approves of his 22-yr-old girlfriend Erin Heatherton

Remember the glory of BLEO? Sigh… that was probably my favorite hookup of 2011, it really was. Anyway, when Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio were together for some-odd five months, Leo quickly introduced Blake to the most important woman in his life (and perhaps the root of his issues with women), his mommy, Irmelin. Rumor was that Irmelin did not care for Blake whatsoever. Blake was trying too hard to impress her, and Irmelin found Blake pushy and too budget for her darling Leo. A few months passed, and it seemed like Blake threw Leo over for Ryan Reynolds, making it seem like A) Irmelin was totally right and B) Leo finally got played in a major way by some Gossip Girl! So Leo went on his merry way, going through an endless stream of blondes, and shopping for girlfriends in the Victoria’s Secret catalog. And now he’s found his new girl – 22-year-old Erin Heatherton. So what does Irmelin think?

Leonardo DiCaprio and Victoria’s Secret model Erin Heatherton can’t keep their hands off each other.

“It is nonstop PDA,” a source said of their hot-and-heavy relationship. DiCaprio introduced Heatherton to his mother, Irmelin, over a well-behaved New Year’s Day brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.

“The meeting went well, and Mom and Erin were seen laughing,” our source said. Leo is very close to his mom, whose approval is key to his relationships.

Honestly, I don’t hate the idea of Leo (or any man) being close to their mother. I get that Leo adores his mom, and it’s nice that he respects her opinion. But I tend to think this is creepy. Leo gets older and older, and his girlfriends stay the same age (or younger) and they’re always blonde models (or model-types, in Blake’s case), and Irmelin meets every one of them? At some point, doesn’t Irmelin just say, “You know what, kiddo? I don’t want to meet every model you’re boning. You go have fun and you introduce a girl to me when you’re really serious about her.”

    I’ve never seen aging turn anyone east-Asian, before.
    Hm.

  2. jen says:

    She looks like a young version of mommy. Maybe this is finally the one.

  3. Tapioca says:

    Mom probably just wants some grandkids at this point and says, “Whatever, she isn’t the Gossip Girl, she’ll do, just knock her up!”.

    Or his girlfriends are so interchangeable she thinks this one is Bar, or Gisele, or Bridget Hall and they’ve got back together.

  4. Helvetica says:

    I never really don’t understand his appeal even during Titanic era,he always strikes me as the immature Frat boy type who knows that he’s hot and never recycle his pickup line. Dude is lucky he’s famous and rich

    Oh, i think he has peaked at Bar Refaeli.

  5. eyeroll says:

    I don’t think Leo introduced Blake to his mom. All this gossip stories at that time were made up by Blake and her people it was gross!

    • sarko says:

      Yes of course Blake made up the story, Leo does NOT have a history of introducing lovers/friends to his MA.
      Blake then tipped off the tabloids that it allegedly went badly.
      She is truly all powerful!!!!!
      Sarc/Off

      • Gorry says:

        @Sarko
        LOL and agreed
        Ya gotta love the Blake haters, she’s tops
        How odd we have park piccies in both Australia and LA of Leo and Erin as well as tabloid tit bits like this
        Yet there is no calling out Leo or Erin accusing them of staging this or feeding the press, but somehow Blake is at fault for this!! Fun times

      • Dudette says:

        Seriously! The Blake-hate is so, so old.

  6. Stacia says:

    He’s a George Clooney in the making. Always looking for the next best “young thang”.

  7. normades says:

    Aparently Gisele dumped Leo because she was sick of his mom always being around.

    His mom is probably like him – less intimidated by younger women (less chance they’ll come inbetween her and her “little boy”).

  8. tammy says:

    Ok. Which part of the Page Six article says Irmelin approved her? I mean they were seen laughing IN PUBLIC? What else would you expect in a restaurant? Mommy being b*tchy? The initial sighting said there was no PDA and now it`s `non-stop PDA`. And serious for Leo? Dating a 22 years old model for a month? Come on! When he is with a brunette who is over 25 he might get serious. Until then he is playing with his interchangeable models.
    The last part of the post is hilarious and so true! Thanks for that!

    A few points
    First I’m mystified that people are taking the story about Blake and Irmelin which originated in Now magazine as truth. In the UK Now is on par with Star magazine and its telling that NO British tabloids went along with the story. Prob cos it was crap!

    Second Irmelin is a free spirit and emigrated cos of the war, her life experiences indicate she is not judgmental of people

    Third Irmelin LOVED Gisle, wnated her for her daughter in law but according to some blogs was not too fond of Bar. Didn’t stop Leo from breaking up with the former and hooking up with the latter.

    Finaly mystery solved! In an earlier post someone remarked that Leo’s girlfriends all looklike cousins. I’ll go further they either look like him or his mom. Homeboy has a severe oedipus/narcissist complex

  10. Funnylilou says:

    You knwo what Kaiser? You had actually set exactly my thoughts (but more brilliantly that I actually can!)
    The guy is 37 yrs old!!!! and he keeps dating 22 yrs olds, that alone is absolutely creepy then top that with the fact that he is a mommy boy (at 37!!!) and you get the creepy creep wonderland!!gthe guy is sick!

  11. LindyLou says:

    Maybe it’s the freckles, but to me, this girl looks like she’s in 9th grade. I bet she looks like his daughter when they are standing side by side. Creeptastic!

  12. Bermuda Blues says:

    Its okay that Leo has a type, but it really is creepy that the age limit is 25. Its like, if he could date 16 and 17 year olds, he probably would. But only Jerry Seinfeld can get away with that level of perversion.

    This model looks, to me, like a combination of Blake Lively’s hair, Bar Rafeali’s face, and Gisele’s body. She’s quite pretty. But will she be enough for Prince Leo? Not a chance.

    I wonder if his mother ever worries that her son doesn’t appreciate women as anything more than Victoria’s Secret fopping material.

  13. Jules says:

    Where is the rest of Erin’s nose?

    (Sidenote: Leo’s mom may have taken it.)

  14. Hanna says:

    Srsly, what a peddo. Biggest creep ever :S

  15. PleaseICU says:

    Lately, Leo’s approach to his dating life reminds me of Matthew McConaughey’s character in Dazed and Confused. “That’s what I love about these [21-year old] girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.”

  16. Gretchen says:

    I’m still holding out for a Leo/Kate Winslet thing, they are said to have remained extremely close friends over the years and I just think one day mum is going to turn to leo and say “You know, that Kate really is a lovely girl. I know she’s not 22 anymore and doesn’t model lingerie, but you two always seem to have gotten on so well. Besides, someone simply must put an end to her relationship with whatshisname rock n’ roll. Her alarm bells should have been ringing already. Off you go and put a stop to it my dear.”

  17. Kosmos says:

    Look, how long has he ever lasted with anyone? Maybe Gisele had been the longest, but that went back and forth for years. There has to be something going on with him holding back in committing to every girlfriend he has. He’s not committed to anything long term. At least, that’s the way it appears. He would probably feel suffocated if he had to marry someone and couldn’t freely move on. If the women are 22, maybe they’re not looking for anything either right now. At that age, he also has an advantage over them with his supposed maturity. With someone closer to his age, they would be way too smart for him, get it? He must stay with 20-year olds that he can handle. When things go south, he moves on to the next one.

  18. nope says:

    Budget. All of them.

  19. WHITE RAVEN says:

    I THINK SHE KINDA LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS A HINT OF LINDSEY LOHAN GUESS ITS THE FRECKELS AS WELL AS BAR AND GESILLE AND LEO DID HANG OUT WITH LINDSEY A WHILE BACK ,SO MABY THIS IS THE ONE,AND MOM LIKE`S HER SO WE WILL SEE,THE AGE DIFFERENCE SAME OL THING,WILL PROBABLY BECOME A PROBLEM WHEN LEO IS IN HIS FIFTIES :o/ BUT I SUPPORT WHAT EVER HE DOES,HE IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND KEEP THOSE MOVIES COMING!!

    • WHITE RAVEN says:

  20. Insertrandomname says:

    ahhh why can’t he date a normal woman for once? someone like me perhaps. LOL

  21. Cindy says:

    Erin is from Skokie, IL. Nice Jewish girl that I met at a relative’s party one time before she was “discovered”. Her mom said that Erin was always the most independent of her children, (she has 2 sisters and a brother). Maybe Erin doesn’t want to settle down and is just enjoying Leo for his company, and of course for all you who are smirking out there, maybe sex. Who knows? Let them be.

    • BPC CHICK says:

      He lives next to us in BPC. He gives off a total gay vibe. I think these women are all fronts…just my observation from every day

    LOOK MATE, LEO CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS…WHEN HE WANTS!!!!!! HE’S A MILLIONARE DO YOU REALLY THINK HE CARES WHAT YOU SAY? IF YOU WERE 37 AND COULD STILL GET 22 YEAR OLD, BEAUTIFUL GIRLS I DOUBT YOU WOULD SAY NO! LEAVE HIM BE YOU SKANKS:)
