Kate Winslet worried about her 'brother' Leonardo DiCaprio: "He's letting fear get in his way"

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, the beloved stars of Titanic, have maintained a close friendship over the years. According to sources close to the actress, Winslet has been urging DiCaprio to leave his bachelor lifestyle behind and take the next step with his current girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti, RadarOnline.com has revealed.

The pair, who have often been seen supporting each other at events (the most recent being at a Los Angeles screening of Winslet's film Lee), have a fraternal bond. At 49, Winslet is said to be encouraging her 50-year-old friend to embrace marriage and start a family, believing that Ceretti, 26, could be the perfect match for him.

"Kate feels a great love for Leo and believes he would be a great husband and father," a source revealed. "She believes his hesitation is due to a fear of commitment. She has seen him talk about settling down with previous girlfriends, but then back out, and she is concerned that he may repeat the pattern with Vittoria."

Winslet, who has been married to Edward Abel Smith since 2012, feels that Ceretti has had a positive impact on DiCaprio. He has prioritized his health and seems to be in great shape, something his close friend has taken note of.

"Leo has spoken to Kate about how special Vittoria is, and it's clear that she has brought out the best in him," the source added. "One of the reasons their friendship works so well is that Kate is not afraid to be honest with him and call him out when necessary."

Over the years, Leo has earned a reputation as one of the world's most eligible bachelors. Many wonder if Leo will ever settle down. Leo is currently dating 26-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti.

They met at the premiere of his film Killers Of The Flower Moon in 2023, during the Cannes Film Festival. The couple was seen last year in Milan alongside Leo's mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, 81, celebrating the actor's 49th birthday in Los Angeles and dancing at a Rolling Stones concert in Las Vegas.
