Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have shared an unusually close friendship since starring together in Titanic, but that bond is now reportedly causing friction in DiCaprio’s personal life. Sources claim the actor’s girlfriend of two years, Vittoria Ceretti, feels increasingly unsettled by Winslet’s continued involvement in DiCaprio’s life, particularly regarding his relationships.

According to an insider, Ceretti does not suspect anything romantic between DiCaprio and Winslet. “Vittoria isn’t accusing Kate and Leo of hooking up,” the source said. “It’s not about that.” Instead, the tension reportedly stems from Ceretti feeling she must constantly share her partner’s emotional space with another woman. The insider claimed Ceretti believes DiCaprio places significant weight on Winslet’s opinions, sometimes more than her own.
“She complains that he values Kate’s opinion more than hers. She says every time they hit a bump, he somehow ends up bringing up what Kate thinks or what Kate once told him,” the source explained. “It drives her crazy because she feels like she is competing with this idealized version of Kate that Leo has built up over 25 years.”
Winslet, now 50, has long been open about the nature of her relationship with DiCaprio, 51. The actress, married to her third husband, Edward Abel Smith, has repeatedly stressed that their bond is strictly platonic. “Luckily, and this was the fortunate thing, we never fancied each other,” Winslet once said. “I know that’s really annoying to hear, sorry. We really never did.”
Despite those reassurances, Winslet admits she occasionally stays at DiCaprio’s home when she is in Hollywood. Sources say that the arrangement has only heightened Ceretti’s discomfort. “She respects the friendship,” the insider noted, “but she also thinks Kate inserts herself way too much and Leo lets her.”
According to the insider, tensions escalate whenever Ceretti raises her concerns. “When Vittoria points it out, Leo gets defensive,” the source said. “They end up fighting. Now Vittoria’s threatening to give him an ultimatum. She’s not going to play second fiddle to another woman, even if that woman is just a ‘friend.’”
