Shortly after breaking up with Bar Refaeli, Leonardo Dicaprio was quickly found with a new actress and model. This time it was the Romanian beauty, Mădălina Diana Ghenea. Unlike most of his recent exes, this model was actually a natural brunette, which marked quite a different choice in his relatively non-diverse set of romantic interests. The two were seen together while DiCaprio was in Sydney filming “The Great Gatsby,” a romantic drama film based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular novel of the same name.
Mădălina Diana Ghenea started modeling at just 15 years old as a presenter for Italian designer Gattinoni. She has modeled in various shows all across the world and was the face of the luxury brand Vanitas. The model is fluent in Romanian, Italian, and English, and has even appeared in a couple of films over the past few years.
Gisele Bundchen
One of the only cases where it really appeared like Leonardo DiCaprio might actually finally settle down with someone was during his relatively long relationship with supermodel and activist Gisele Bundchen. Leo dated the Brazilian supermodel from 2000 to 2005 until she decided to break up with him after feeling like their relationship was causing her more harm than good. She claims to have been drinking a lot at the time and doing drugs while living a shallow and depressed life.
Gisele Bündchen started her modeling career at age 14 when she was discovered by a modeling agency and went on to become one of the highest-earning models in the world. Her claim to fame as a model was becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel between 2000 and 2007.
Helena Christiansen
Leonardo DiCaprio and former Victoria's Secret Angel and beauty queen Helena Christensen began dating shortly after the actor starred in his iconic "Romeo + Juliet" film. Leo was really starting his rise to fame as a Hollywood actor at the time and was actually less popular than Christensen had been. The two shared a short relationship together in 1997 that ended in just about the same manner and time frame as his other relationships. Fans and tabloids hoped that Leo and Helena would last a little longer since the two had shown quite a lot of potential together, but alas, you shouldn't keep your dating hopes high when it comes to DiCaprio.
Christensen is still modeling and has also become a businesswoman and photographer in recent years. She's also an avid climate change awareness activist, which means there's a chance she and DiCaprio might yet cross paths again someday. She has since dated Australian musician Michael Hutchence, popular actor Norman Reedus (known mostly from his role as Daryl in AMC's "The Walking Dead"), and even the Interpol singer Paul Banks for a total of seven years. Helena is also quite unique in her choice of cars, choosing to exclusively drive a Morris Minors.
Alyce Crawford
Many rumors began to appear of a certain Australian model visiting Leonardo DiCaprio's hotel while he was working on "The Great Gatsby" in Sydney, Australia. We're talking about none other than Australian Model and personal trainer Alyce Crawford, who was often seen posing with Leonardo DiCaprio in public. Although the two were never seen doing anything romantic, it was quite clear to everyone that something was going on between them, especially in these chaotic times of the actor's romantic life.
Eventually, Crawford gushed in an interview with the Daily Mail Australia that the two were just acquaintances and never actually officially dated. According to Crawford, Leo was just: "a really lovely guy." An insider told Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper that the two were going out for about two weeks and would often meet for hookups multiple times every week. She was quite smart in the way she managed to avoid being seen with him in public, as it helped keep everything a secret, although it would have probably helped out her career to have a few romantic pictures with the popular celeb.
Erin Heatherton
It seems that DiCaprio has dated almost all of Victoria's Secret's angels at one point or another. Leo has literally dated tens of models over his career, and that's just numbering the ones we actually know about. He's also dated Erin Heatherton, another Victoria's Secret angel who worked with the women's lingerie company between 2010 and 2013. This model had had a pretty successful start to her modeling career but ended up crashing and burning just this year after a very negative downward spiral.
Erin Heatherton is a Jewish American model from Skokie, Illinois. She was discovered when vacationing in South Beach, Miami, at the young age of 17 before signing with her first agency. She and DiCaprio ended up dating for almost a year before splitting up in November 2012. Despite having a relatively successful modeling career, it seems that Heatherton didn't conduct herself financially as well as she could have because, in April 2019, she filed for bankruptcy, claiming to be more than $500,000 in debt and making less than $3,000 that year. It seems that her career didn’t really take off after Victoria’s Secret job was over, and perhaps she didn’t really find her way after it.
