Gigi was recently in rumours about dating 48-year-old Shutter Island star Leonardo Dicaprio as the two have been photographed a lot of many times together. While the sources close to the stars denied the rumours as they were also seen hanging out with a group of friends, the two were in the news for recently splitting up with their partners. While Gigi Hadid has recently become a mother to a daughter in September 2022 with her ex-husband Zayn Malik, Leonardo will next be seen in Martin Scorsese's much anticipated and highest 9-minute-long standing ovation in the film festival Cannes, Killer Of The Flower Moon.
