Star: Bella Hadid & Leonardo DiCaprio exchanged numbers at Cannes

Fashion for Relief - Show

At the tailend of the Cannes Film Festival, there were some rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio and Bella Hadid had caught each other’s eye. I didn’t know what to make of the rumors, honestly. While Leo was a free man, having just broken up with Nina Agdal, I sort of doubted that he would immediately latch on to It Girl Bella. Then again, she fits several pieces of the Leo’s Girlfriend Experience criteria: she’s under 25 (Bella is 20), she’s modeled for Victoria’s Secret and she’s got an amazing figure. Then again, she’s a brunette and he almost always goes for blondes. E! News ended up saying that the reports of any of Bella-and-Leo romance were false. But Star Magazine says it’s on.

A squad of supermodels had their eyes on the prize at the Fashion for Relief afterparty on May 22, but it was Bella Hadid who caught newly single Leonardo DiCaprio’s eye in Cannes.

“Leo made a point to get Bella’s attention afterward at dinner, although they didn’t exchange numbers until the amfAR gala,” reveals a source close to Bella, 20. “Bella is so stoked – they’ve been texting like crazy ever since! But she’s smart enough to play hard to get. Dating Leo would be a huge score. He’s older, but he’s still hot – all the girls think so.”

It would probably be easier for Leo to go with a 20 year old – he gets more time with a 20 year old before he has to dump her, you know? Nina Agdal and Kelly Rohrbach both got dumped soon after their 25th birthdays, so the trend might be to simply go younger. But, again, Bella isn’t a blonde. Out of the two Hadid sisters, I would have thought that Gigi is more his type. I’ve been saying that for years now, that Gigi looks like a perfect composite of Leo’s girlfriend-type. Bella gives off a more sultry/darker vibe where Leo goes for more of a wholesome, baby-faced lady. Who knows?

    Getting with Leo = P.U. imho. Eyes on the prize? The booby prize maybe!

  4. QQ says:

    Oh but It’s only 2-3 Years on her Clock!.. Such a shame to enter into such a Job Opportunity, knowing the expiry date is looming.. *sigh*

    UGGGGH

    I’m closer to DiCaprio’s age than Hadid’s and even I am like…isn’t he too old for her? Isn’t it kind of gross, to the point of alienating her fans, who didn’t grow up with Hot Leo in Romeo and Juliet and only know Torture Porn in the Revenant Leo?

    DON’T DO IT BELLAAAAA

  6. NtSoSclBtrfly says:

    No, Bella, noooooooo!!!!!!!

    Wasn’t there a story on Blind gossip about this?

    If this blind gossip item does relate to
    DiCaprio he is the one with the mushy body.
    Yer he can act, but what a douchebag.

  9. sendepause says:

    Meh, they all seem like contract girlfriends anyways.

  10. LizLemonGotMarried says:

    Bello, nooooo….
    I really question this…would he want to be with a girl that has her own thing going on? And might have…*shocker* opinions? Money of her own? Power? Influence?
    Nah, Leo appreciates the girls who were printed by the 3-d printer out of real-girl material and then picked from a magazine. If it’s on, it’ll be the closest sign that Leo’s grown up since the Blake Lively incident. THAT was the most fun I’ve had Leo watching in years.

  11. FishBeard says:

    I’ve never taken issue with Leo’s serial monogamy myself, simply because it’s always consensual and with adult women who likely have some personal incentive as well. That being said, I don’t find him attractive in the least, and never have, even in his prime. I do find Bella extremely beautiful, and IMO she could be better.

  12. Jennet says:

    I know this isn’t particularly relevant but am I the only one who doesn’t find her attractive, like, at all? Something about her eyes just seems… empty. I think her sister Gigi is stunning but I’ve never understood Bella’s big attraction.

    • Naddie says:

      She is, to me, that kind of person who’s got a striking look, the whole pack of height, hair, body, one just can’t not notice her entering a room, but once you see her more closely…

    • Ksenia says:

      No, Jennet, you’re not alone–I don’t think she’s attractive, either. First of all, her features are so man-made—the nose, in particular, is ludicrous, but her lips and even her jaw look gloweringly fake as well. Her eyes are so small, too. Pre-surgery, she had a much more Middle Eastern tinge to her face, and was prettier, though still not extremely attractive. But now, despite thousands of dollars spent on cosmetic surgery, her face, to me, resembles an overbaked potato w eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick scrawled on it. I truly don’t understand how this nepotism model is now considered “beautiful?”I feel like people get told someone’s “gorgeous” enough times that they start to get brainwashed and believe it.

  13. Anonym says:

    First of all it’s Star magazine. They had a Leo and Agdal baby engagement story the week they broke up. When was the last time Star had a true story?
    Second I hope he won’t go after freaky face Hadid.

  14. Clairej says:

    I can imagine this. She would probably wet herself to be seen with him. She is quite thirsty and he needs his eye candy on his arm. Works well.

  15. What's Inside says:

    Wasn’t she pictured with Lewis Hamilton also at Cannes?

  16. Mike H. says:

    Bella is way too beautiful for him.

  17. Flora says:

    Please! He probably just asked her for Gigi’s number. Leo doesn’t do brunettes, at least not in public.

  18. Meh says:

    Her nose is wild.

  19. Neha says:

    Leo iz toooooo gud for Bella!!!

  20. Robert says:

    Well it makes sense. She is the hottest Victoria’s Secret model right now, and that’s who he dates, right? The only difference is she doesn’t seem to need the publicity as much as his last girlfriend who seemed fairly unknown before dating him….

  21. Ryan Raymond says:

    Victoria Secret model, check! He goes through them all. She seems like his type.

  22. Mr Hanson says:

    Bella looks great in the top photo. I used to think she was a bit awkward, but she’s really grown into the runway look. I doubt that dating Leo will be good for her career though.

  23. Benny says:

    There’s something very appealing about Bella. I love her look. I don’t really see what all these supermodels see in Leo, but who am I to judge?
