Leonardo DiCaprio turned heads at the Oscars by arriving with longtime girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti as his film One Battle After Another dominated the night. The evening combined red-carpet curiosity about DiCaprio’s relationship with typical awards-night drama: Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor victory and a viral moment of on-stage consolation with DiCaprio.

What happened: the key moments

At the ceremony, Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for Sinners and embraced DiCaprio shortly after accepting his statuette — a clip that quickly circulated on social media. Benicio del Toro, a co-star of DiCaprio’s in One Battle After Another and a Best Supporting Actor nominee, joined in the congratulatory moment.

One Battle After Another went on to pick up multiple prizes, including Best Picture and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson; the film collected six Oscars in total. DiCaprio himself did not win Best Actor, but he was seated prominently with Ceretti — a public appearance many called a “hard launch.”

Who is Vittoria Ceretti and why this matters

Ceretti, a 27-year-old Italian model who has been linked to DiCaprio for more than three years, rarely appears at high-profile events with him. Their Oscars seating — rather than a joint carpet appearance — produced the few clear images of them together during the ceremony and focused media attention on their relationship.

The pairing drew commentary because it counters long-running tabloid narratives about DiCaprio’s dating patterns; observers noted the age and public-profile dynamics this time felt different. Reports mention Ceretti’s busy international schedule and modeling career, which industry sources say helps make the relationship feel like a partnership of peers.

Fan and industry reaction

Video of Jordan embracing DiCaprio and del Toro prompted warm responses online. One X user wrote, “Imagine crying tears of happiness on the shoulders of Leonardo DiCaprio. From winning a category y’all were both up for.” Others praised the respectful, celebratory tone among nominees.

The night also had lighter viral moments: after his win, Jordan was filmed leaving the event and stopping at an In-N-Out Burger while still holding his Oscar — an image that added to the evening’s lively coverage.

What’s next

  • Expect more public appearances: this Oscars outing has been framed as a more visible phase for DiCaprio and Ceretti, so further joint events are likely.
  • One Battle After Another’s awards haul should bolster the film’s visibility and commercial prospects in coming weeks, and contribute to conversations about Paul Thomas Anderson’s work and ensemble performances.
  • Social media will continue to parse both the personal and professional angles from the night: relationship headlines alongside awards analysis.

For now, the Oscars gave fans a mix of career triumphs and a rare, front-seat look at DiCaprio’s public life with Vittoria Ceretti — moments that will keep both the film and their relationship in the headlines for weeks to come.
