Leonardo DiCaprio and model Vittoria Ceretti share a romantic bike ride in New York City, joined by his niece. The couple recently returned from a European vacation, enjoying quality time together and with family.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are sticking to popular European transport back stateside … riding bikes through the Big Apple and hanging with a member of Leo’s fam.

The actor and his model girlfriend hit the New York City streets Saturday … with the two hopping on bicycles and flying down the streets — Leo in his usual incognito mask and hat combo.

Check out the pics … while he’s trying not to attract too much attention, he needs his nose to breathe during the physical activity — and, it’s pretty clearly him even with the mask on.

Vittoria’s also keeping a low profile … thick black sunglasses and a hoodie pulled up, covering her hair. In one pic, Leo’s niece Normandie Farrar can be seen riding with her unc and his GF, so they weren’t totally alone.

Of course, LD and VC are back stateside after enjoying a rip-roaring European vacation. The two were just in Italy earlier this month … snuggling up together in Rome and later going out to dinner with Vittoria’s parents.

Leo got a red wine for the table which cost more than $27k … though when your cleintele ranges from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, ya gotta stock up on the good stuff.

The two have spent extensive time together and with each other’s families, with Normandie being the most recent member of DiCaprio’s family to meet Vittoria … so, this is defintely the real deal.

So, will they ride off into the sunset together??? Ya never know.

Julia Fox reveals her regret over dating Kanye West, describing it as one of the most uncomfortable times of her life. In a recent interview, she discusses feeling like a pawn in their relationship and emphasizes her desire not to be known solely as someone’s girlfriend.

Julia Fox says she never should’ve dated Kanye West … calling their brief romance one of the most uncomfortable times of her life.

The dominatrix-turned-actress sat down for an interview with The Times, published early Saturday morning, saying she regrets dating the rap star … claiming she wanted to keep their coupling low-key — but, it went public without her OK.

JF says she thinks she was being used as a pawn during their relationship … before confirming Ye’s “the artist” she wrote about in her memoir “Down the Drain” — a person she claims picked out her outfits, offered to pay for a boob job and asked her to sign an NDA.

Fox goes on to say the relationship put her in “the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”

Kanye and Julia dated briefly in late 2021/early 2022 … spending just a few weeks together before calling off their relationship.

They did spend some memorable time together … taking on Paris, France in fully leather outfits — though JF later said in her memoir the couple fought pretty much the entire time.

While she dated Ye back in the day, Julia has since come out as a lesbian … revealing the news via TikTok over the summer in a teasing TikTok.

We’ve reached out to Kanye about Julia’s comments … so far, no word back.

Being a nepo baby ain’t all that, according to Aoki Lee Simmons, who’s actually bowing out of modeling, specifically, because she says everyone in the industry wants her to be her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons.

The 22-year-old explained her disappointment in a video where she revealed she’s constantly told she’s not pretty enough to make it in modeling — and, if that wasn’t deflating enough, she’s constantly measured against Kimora.

Aoki says, “My mom is always going to be a way better model than me, it’s just annoying to have that comparison sometimes.”

She says modeling is just a very hard industry, and while she’s planning to “finish strong” — like Kimora always told her to do — Aoki’s already looking past modeling, hoping to land a job in government.

Spare her the dumb model jokes … Aoki has a political science degree from Harvard, and plans to take the foreign service test in order to work in international relations.

As for how she’ll wrap up her modeling career … she isn’t saying, except to reveal it won’t be in this year’s Victoria’s Secret show. Aoki says she auditioned for the VS gig, but didn’t get it.

Kimora and Russell Simmons‘ daughter made headlines earlier this year when she briefly dated 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf. Kimora was NOT a fan of the relationship, which ended shortly thereafter.

On to the next … a good way to sum up Aoki’s 2024.

Jason Tartick and Kat Stickler are no longer accepting roses from each other … with the two announcing they’ve ended their relationship after about six months.

The “Bachelorette” star and the influencer announced their split Saturday … with JT taking to his Instagram Story to let everyone know they’d amicably parted ways.

Tartick says he falls in love quick … and, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t — and, this time it just didn’t.

That said, Jason makes it clear there’s no hard feelings between the two … adding he will “forever be grateful for her” and her daughter Mary-Katherine, 5.

Jason Tartick, known for his appearance on “The Bachelorette,” and Kat Stickler, a popular TikTok creator, began dating in April 2024 and made their relationship public in June. After approximately six months together, they announced their amicable breakup on social media in mid-October, with both expressing gratitude for the other and their time together. Stickler clarified that the breakup was amicable and that she would continue to speak on it in the future. She also addressed concerns regarding her daughter, Mary-Katherine, meeting Tartick during their relationship, stating that she felt it was important for her child to know who her mother was dating.

The two looked real flirty during the dinner … with Kat even feeding Jason a few bites of food. They went IG official in June.

Looks like those days are over … but, at least there are no hard feelings.

Dove Cameron is declaring her love for boyfriend Damiano David … sharing a romantic tribute on their one-year anniversary.

The former Disney Channel star offered up a glimpse into her love story with the Måneskin singer, posting a sweet video of the pair locking lips on Instagram.

In a playful moment, Damiano David kisses Dove Cameron while she sits in a makeup chair, both bursting into laughter and clearly in love. Dove shared this sweet interaction along with several shirtless photos and videos of Damiano, showcasing her affection for the rocker. The couple’s chemistry shines through in her anniversary post, highlighting their strong bond.

Yet, it was her caption that sent fans reeling, given the fact Dove declared her love for Damiano in Italian.

She wrote … “ti amerò per sempre,” which translates to “I will love you forever.”

Dove’s tribute comes on the heels of another viral post … in which the starlet flaunted her headlights in a topless mirror selfie in Paris. She also shared a number of other pics from her time in the City of Light … where she attended Paris Fashion Week with Damiano by her side.

Dove and Damiano first sparked relationship rumors last fall, when the “Descendants” star attended Måneskin’s NYC show. DC popped up in the crowd again at the Italian performer’s gig in Brazil … further fueling the romance chatter.

From there, the twosome has been nearly inseparable … and, from the looks of it, have no plans of parting ways.

Happy anniversary, love birds!!!

Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos — an MMA fighter who competed in the UFC and Bellator, and dated Demi Lovato — is dead at 38 years old, his family and members of the fighting community said on Tuesday.

The cause of death is not known at this time.

Vasconcelos made appearances across multiple MMA promotions … and accumulated a record of 10-6 over the course of his seven-year pro career.

The MMA fighter posted a photo outside a Jiu-Jitsu studio to his Instagram less than 24 hours ago.

As for Bomba’s time with Lovato, the couple was first spotted together back in 2017 … celebrating New Year’s Eve together, and attending a movie on New Year’s Day.

After several months of dating, they split in May … with outlets reporting the relationship had “had run its course.”

Guilherme’s uncle, Walter, mourned the loss … saying, “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.”

“We pray for you! May God, who can do all things, welcome you in His infinite mercy and comfort all who have always loved you!”

R.I.P.

Travis Kelce‘s ex, Kayla Nicole, is opening up on her recent appearance on Angel Reese‘s podcast and the backlash that ensued … saying while she didn’t pay the negativity any mind, her mother was “offended” by the social media commentary.

The influencer made headlines for speaking out on a number of topics on the Chicago Sky star’s “Unapologetically Angel” show last week … including past relationships, rumors surrounding her breakup with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and being targeted by Taylor Swift fans.

During a sit-down on “I Am Athlete,” Kayla admitted she might have changed some of her answers — or provided no comment altogether at certain times — to fully embody her character … but ultimately, she felt like she handled the whole thing with grace.

“I thought that I answered the questions to the best of my ability,” Kayla said. “The public had their interpretation of things — didn’t matter to me.”

Kayla might not have cared about the chatter that came with the podcast … but it got to her mother.

“My mom calls me, though. And it’s those conversations … that’s what matters to me because she’s offended. She’s hurt by the way people are perceiving her daughter. She’s hurt by the negative headlines and the way people are spinning it. And even my mom was like, ‘Maybe next time, we don’t answer those questions’ and it’s simple as that. Don’t give it any energy. You don’t always have to respond.”

Kayla chalked up the whole thing up to not having much media training … and is treating it all like a learning experience.

It was an emotional conversation with ex-NFL stars Martellus Bennett and Brandon Marshall … and at one point, Kayla choked back tears as they shared their knowledge on media and the power that comes with having a platform.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, looking to move forward from her traumatic past, shared her plans for addressing her late mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard with her future child. Speaking on Nick Viall’s podcast, “The Viall Files,” Gypsy discussed how she will handle conversations about her complicated history when her baby, expected with boyfriend Ken Urker next year, grows older. She aims to avoid uncomfortable talks about her mother’s infamous actions while focusing on creating a positive future.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard expressed sadness that her mother will never meet her daughter, admitting she occasionally reflects on what could have been. Gypsy, who served seven years in prison for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, has accused her of subjecting her to years of medical abuse and unnecessary procedures. Despite her complicated past, Gypsy is now focused on moving forward as she prepares to welcome a baby with her boyfriend.

Yet, it seems Gypsy Rose doesn’t plan to rehash the past with her baby girl … confessing her stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, “has become more of a mother to [her] than [her] own mother was.”

She added … “Kristy is going to be grandma.”

Gypsy Rose also hit back at the negative remarks she has received since announcing her pregnancy.

She continued … “The one thing that just irritates me is the fact that people really have this stigma on, you know, new parents that have come from a life of trauma and the stigma of, oh, you know, ‘You had been through this, so you’re gonna continue on that cycle with your child.'”

Gypsy Rose defended this is an “unfair” stance, given the fact she’s taken steps to make sure she’s “mentally stable enough to be a parent.”

Her bottom line is clear … she may not be a perfect parent, but she intends to do everything she can to give her daughter the best life possible.

Artem Chigvintsev achieved a favorable outcome following a two-hour court hearing in his divorce case with Nikki Garcia (formerly Bella). Court documents reveal that a Napa County judge ordered shared custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, between the professional dancer and the retired WWE star.

This was certainly the outcome the “Dancing with the Stars” alum was hoping for … as he previously requested joint custody when he filed his divorce response in September.

Nikki, on the other hand, sought sole custody of Matteo when she filed for divorce … requesting Artem have supervised visitation with their son and undergo anger management classes.

TMZ broke the story … Nikki was granted a restraining order against Artem at the start of this month, after she detailed alleged abuse from her husband. Artem responded to the allegations with his own accusations, painting Nikki as the aggressor in their relationship.

Although Artem Chigvintsev was arrested for domestic violence in August, the Napa County District Attorney chose not to pursue criminal charges, citing insufficient grounds for ethical prosecution. During the recent hearing, Artem testified that he does not have anger issues, and the judge did not mandate anger management. However, both Artem and Nikki Garcia will participate in individual therapy.

The judge DID order both Nikki and Artem to take parenting classes so they can better co-parent their little one.

Nikki and Artem’s divorce trial is set for December … and will take place over the course of 2 days.

Artem’s attorney Ilona Antonyan previously told TMZ … Artem denies ever tackling Nikki.

We’ve reached out to Nikki’s rep for comment … so far, no word back.
