Recent online claims suggesting that Leonardo DiCaprio is in a relationship with Greta Thunberg have been proven false, following confusion sparked by a viral image.
The speculation began circulating shortly after DiCaprio attended the 2026 Oscars with his actual girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti. Despite this, a widely shared photo online falsely suggested that Thunberg was present at the event as his date.
Reports confirm that there is no evidence Thunberg attended the Oscars, and the viral claims linking her romantically to DiCaprio are completely unfounded.
The misleading narrative appears to have been driven by social media users who reshared an image of the actor and the activist together, adding sarcastic commentary about their age difference. However, the image was not taken at the awards ceremony and does not support the claims being made online.
In reality, DiCaprio and Thunberg are only known to have met in 2019, where they connected over shared environmental interests. At the time, the actor praised her as a “leader of our time” for her climate activism.
Fact checks have also previously debunked similar viral images linking the two, revealing that some photos circulating online were digitally altered or taken out of context.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio continues to maintain a relationship with Ceretti, whom he has been dating since 2023 and recently appeared with publicly at the Oscars.
The situation highlights how quickly misinformation can spread online, especially when involving high profile figures. It also underscores the importance of verifying claims before accepting or sharing them.
