During the live broadcast, the host introduced Ceretti as a representative of the new generation of fashion, also referencing her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio. The acclaimed actor is known for dating younger women, often ending relationships after his girlfriends turn 26. Ceretti, nearing 30, is considered an exception to this pattern. The couple has been together since 2023, frequently traveling. However, DiCaprio has not yet walked a red carpet with her or publicly discussed their relationship.
Despite their private approach, Ceretti attended the Met Gala in 5/2025 with DiCaprio, though they did not pose together on the red carpet. In 9/2025, she supported DiCaprio at the Los Angeles, US premiere of his film "One Battle After Another." A 2024 People source described DiCaprio's strong affection for Ceretti, calling her charming, sweet, and captivating. Born in 1998 in Brescia, Italy, Ceretti is highly regarded by industry professionals. She is frequently sought after by major brands such as Chanel, Prada, Fendi, Valentino, and Armani, and has graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle multiple times.
