Leonardo DiCaprio pictured with 22-year-old model, Maria Beregova

Hours after news broke that Leonardo DiCaprio and his 25-year-old girlfriend broke up, photos have emerged of the actor with a new younger woman.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been photographed with a new, much younger woman in photos that surfaced just hours after news of his break-up from 25-year-old model Camila Morrone broke.

The 47-year-old Oscar winner, who has been viciously mocked online for his propensity to stop dating women when they turn 25, was seen attempting to disguise himself in a cap as he walked slightly ahead of stunning 22-year-old Ukrainian model Maria Beregova.

The pair, along with DiCaprio’s friend and fellow actor Tobey Maguire were reportedly leaving a nightclub in St. Tropez in the photos, which were taken in July.

On Wednesday, it was confirmed DiCaprio and his girlfriend of four years, Camila Morrone, had split.

According to the Daily Mail, the Shutter Island star met Beregova in St. Tropez in July, with reports Beregova travelled to the glamorous holiday spot after a split of her own.

Beregova is understood to separated from her husband, Ahmed Masoud Abdelhafid, who runs a property and fashion empire in Monaco.

Abdelhafid, 30, is the grandson of Massoud Abdelhafid, who was Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s interior minister and “right hand man”.

Beregova grew up in Switzerland, but currently lives in London where she is studying to take over her family's pharmaceutical enterprise.

Beregova reportedly split from her 30-year-old husband recently.

The Titanic actor split from his former girlfriend of four years, Daisy Jones & The Six actress Morrone ‘quietly’, earlier in summer in the US, a source told The Sun this week.

Insiders close to DiCaprio claimed to the publication that he and Morrone had been growing apart recently.

“Leo and Camila ended their relationship over the summer,” a source said. “There are no bad feelings between them. It just came to a natural conclusion.”

DiCaprio and Morrone began dating in 2017 when she was just 20 years old. They made their awards show debut at the 2020 Oscars.

The break-up news prompted Twitter to explode with jokes and memes about the star’s habit of pursuing women under the age of 25.

Other A-list women DiCaprio has dated who were 25 or younger at the time of their relationships include Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, Bar Refaeli, Nina Agdal and Gisele Bündchen, the latter of whom he dated for six years until 2005.
