Leonardo DiCaprio was 36 when he and 24-year-old Blake Lively called it quits. According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, they went their separate ways because DiCaprio wanted their relationship to be more serious. They said, "Blake wasn't ready to settle down," adding, "[DiCaprio's] looking for someone to eventually start a family with ... That's not where she's at. She's only 24!" A different insider claimed, "He's more mature. They're not in the same place right now."
However, Lively and Ryan Reynolds got married shortly after, in 2012. Although it's not confirmed, perhaps settling down with DiCaprio wasn't a matter of wrong timing for Lively, but the wrong person. The assertion of maturity is also refuted by the 2022 source for The Post, who recounted a story from a model that apparently hooked up with DiCaprio and said, "She told me she thought he was an old man."
The insider also called DiCaprio's behavior "a little creepy" as he continues pursuing stunning women half his age. However, they said the allure of him being "Jack from 'Titanic'" is enough of a draw for the younger women DiCaprio is after.
