He's known for dating models under the age of 25. 

But it looks like Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, has sunk to new depths as he's rumored to be dating model Eden Polani, 19. 

Leonardo was first pictured with Eden at Detroit-born singer Ebony Riley's release party for her new EP.

The Oscar-winner was spotted seated next to the Paris-born model as they soaked up the atmosphere.

Seemingly missing from the event was Leo's current girlfriend Victoria Lamas, who at 23 is 25 years his junior and almost half his age.

Twitter has gone wild with the news because she's so young that her high school education was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

'She's so young her education was interrupted by COVID': Twitter has slammed Leo DiCaprio, 48, over his 'romance' with Eden Polani, 19, whom he partied with in LA on January 31, (pictured)

Fans noted: 'Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend wasn't even born when Titanic was released' - the movie came out 25 years ago - six years before Eden was born 

And moreover, she was not even born when Titanic was released in 1997 - more than 25 years ago. 

One person observed: 'Kate Winslet was 22 when she was nominated for an Oscar for Titanic. Which is 3 years older than Leonardo DiCaprio’s current girlfriend.'

'Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend wasn't even born when Titanic was released.'

Others wrote about how she was in school when Leo was already an established movie actor. 

The model's age has been scrutinized by DiCaprio's fans as the young woman is merely 19.  Many joked that she learned Romeo & Juliet in high school, a play her potential new beau starred in the film version in 1996

'DiCaprio’s girlfriend is so young she probably studied the Romeo and Juliet film he starred in when she was at school.'

'Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend is so young that her high school education was interrupted by COVID-19, weirrrrrrrd.' 

'Someone please explain to me what a man nearing 50 has in common with *checks notes* a 19 year old?' 

'Somebody needs to stop leonardo dicaprio. It was funny 10 girlfriends ago.' 

'Leonardo DiCaprio is only worried about climate change because he wants to leave a better world for his girlfriends.'

'Somebody needs to stop him': Twitter was awash with comments about Leonardo's penchant for young models 

At the party, The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star was dressed in his standard casual ensemble, though he didn't mask up as he sometimes does at public events.

He covered up with a simple black baseball cap, and he rocked a cool black bomber jacket over a nondescript black shirt while staying on theme with black jeans. 

Eden - who bears a striking resemblance to Leo's new flame - looked chic in a gray pinstripe suit, which she dressed down with a simple white blouse.

She added a thick gold chain around her neck for some extra sparkle, and she had her long red hair cascading down her shoulders.

Eden is signed to IT models and is also a social media star with 195,000 Instagram followers.  

Leo could be seen showing off a soft smile next to Eden as he appeared to enjoy himself at the packed party.

It is unclear if he is still with Lamas, as he was apparently last seen in public with the model back in late December.

His more recent yacht outings have been with other women, and he more recently enjoyed a boys' night out to watch the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lamas was well in line with his past girlfriends, all but one whom have apparently been 25 years old or younger, except for the model Gigi Hadid, whom he briefly dated last year. 

His latest string of short flings follows his August 2022 breakup with the model-turned-actress Camila Morrone, whom he had been dating for four years.

Eden has done a lot of commercial work, including ads for several perfumes, beauty brands, and a hotel 

Leonardo was pictured getting close to Hadid at a party in New York City in September.

It appeared to be the first time the Oscar-winner has ever dated a woman older than 25, and Gigi would also be the first woman he has dated who is a mother.

The star has always hit headlines with his relationships, famously dating model Gisele Bündchen for five years starting when she was 18, to a five-year romance with Bar Refaeli that ended when she turned 25.
