Vittoria Ceretti hates being labeled as Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend.⁷

“As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’ — or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter,” the Italian-born model told Vogue France in an interview published Monday.

“And that can be extremely annoying. Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex.”

She continued, “So it’s not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.”

Ceretti, 26, also spoke candidly about being in a relationship with DiCaprio, 50, whom the magazine described as “one of the most desired people in the world.”

“If you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence,” she said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ceretti shared that she and DiCaprio met in Milan, Italy, though she preferred “not to go into details.”

She also gushed over the actor starring in the 1997 film “Titanic,” saying, “Who hasn’t seen it? Or didn’t like it? It’s an iconic film.”

DiCaprio and Ceretti’s relationships dates back to May 2023 when they were reportedly seen together at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
