Leonardo DiCaprio has become the talk of the Lamas household this holiday season, with Lorenzo Lamas revealing that his daughter Victoria is head-over-heels for the Hollywood star. In a recent interview with the New York Post, Lamas shared that his 23-year-old daughter, an actress and model, is "smitten" with DiCaprio, 48, after they were spotted leaving a trendy West Hollywood nightclub together on December 20.
"I know she likes him very much," Lamas said during a Christmas Eve conversation. "I think they met last month. I'm not sure of the circumstances, but that's what she told me." Despite the buzz, the 64-year-old actor was quick to clarify that the two are not in a serious relationship. "They're not an item. They're not exclusive to each other," he emphasized, adding that they are simply friends who met in a social setting.
Victoria Lamas is one of Lorenzo Lamas' three daughters with his ex-wife, Playboy Playmate Shauna Sand, whom he divorced in 2002. The older Lamas has been married five times and has six children total. His current fiancée is Kenna Scott, a 37-year-old former model.
The "Renegade" star shared the cautionary tale he gave his daughter about the budding friendship. "I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday — just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts. And if it lasts for more than a typical holiday, great. But if not, then just guard your heart, you know? Because she's very young," Lamas explained. He even joked, "I just told her, you know, absolutely no transatlantic cruises with Leo. Anyway, I'm excited for her. I know that it's been a while since she's had a serious relationship … She's got a big heart, and she tends to give it freely."
The age gap between DiCaprio and Victoria — a 25-year difference — has drawn attention, but Lamas dismissed it as a non-issue. "Age is not really a factor for me as much as respect, trust and communication. That's the key," he said. DiCaprio has a well-known pattern of dating women under 25, including supermodel Gisele Bündchen, actress Blake Lively, and most recently, Camila Morrone, who was 25 when they split in 2022 after a four-year relationship. Morrone herself addressed the age gap in a 2019 interview with the Los Angeles Times, stating, "There's so many relationships in Hollywood — and in the history of the world — where people have large age gaps. I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date."
DiCaprio's relationship history has been a topic of fascination for years. The Oscar-winning actor, known for his roles in "Titanic," "The Wolf of Wall Street," and "Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood," has been linked to a string of famous women. After his split from Morrone, he was rumored to be pursuing supermodel Gigi Hadid. The actor has also been cautious about settling down, and his friends have described him as someone who values his freedom and is not in a rush to marry.
Victoria Lamas, for her part, is carving out her own path in the entertainment industry. She has appeared in small roles in films and television, including the 2021 series "The L Word: Generation Q." Her father, Lorenzo Lamas, rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s with roles in "Falcon Crest" and "Renegade." He has been married five times, first to Victoria Hilbert (1979–1982), then to Michele Smith (1983–1985), followed by Kathleen Kinmont (1989–1993), Shauna Sand (1996–2002), and a brief marriage to Cynthia DeKay in 2003. His current relationship with Kenna Scott began in 2020.
The news of Victoria's crush on DiCaprio has sparked a flurry of media attention, with many questioning whether a romance could develop. Lamas' playful advice to his daughter reflects a protective yet supportive stance. "She's very smitten," he reiterated, "but they're not dating. And she does not want that out there because that would be really bad. It'd be embarrassing for her if he should happen to read something that said that they're dating and they're not."
DiCaprio's busy schedule includes several upcoming projects, such as a new film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and another collaboration with Martin Scorsese. Whether or not he will find time for a serious relationship remains to be seen, but for now, the Lamas family is enjoying the holiday buzz. As Lorenzo put it, "Just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts."
In the world of Hollywood romance, age gaps and high-profile pairings are nothing new. Leonardo DiCaprio has been at the center of such discussions for decades, and his connection with Victoria Lamas adds another chapter to the ongoing narrative. Meanwhile, Victoria's father, a veteran actor with his own colorful personal life, seems to be taking the situation in stride. With a mix of humor and fatherly wisdom, he has given his daughter the tools to navigate whatever comes next. For now, all eyes remain on what might — or might not — develop between the "Titanic" star and the young actress.
