All the beautiful (young) women Leonardo DiCaprio has dated

Leonardo DiCaprio is almost as well-known for his love life as he is for his movies and environmental activism. Since launching his acting career in the early '90s, the Oscar winner has had a string of high-profile relationships with Hollywood’s finest actresses and, perhaps more famously, models (especially on the younger side, in recent years). It hasn't gone unnoticed that they usually hit an age limit of 25 while he keeps getting older. However, it seems that all bets are off with his new love! He's dating a more mature woman, someone a little further out of high school. DiCaprio has been linked to Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who is... 25 years old. The pair have been spotted getting ice cream and dancing together at clubs in Ibiza, and are reportedly enjoying getting to know each other on a "deeper level," according to a source who spoke to Page Six. As you can imagine, the jokes on social media have been non-stop since the news broke. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, "Bro saw all the tweets about him breaking up with women after they turn 25 now he tryna prove us wrong." Another joked, "inflation has him increasing his age range by 1." Many internet folk have placed their bets that the relationship will be over before she hits 26! One even pitched an idea for a romantic drama in which Leo falls madly in love with a 25-year-old but is tormented by the fact that he must end the relationship in 365 days. Curious about who else DiCaprio has dated? Click through this gallery to discover all the young ladies who have shared the actor's life, and see the rule of 25 in action.

Like family, band members have different personalities, and some do clash. Being in a band is not just about creating and playing music together.

Can underwater farms save the world from climate change?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that meat and dairy farming is bad for the planet. While some farming methods are more sustainable than others, there's no getting away from the fact that the industry has a hefty carbon footprint.

However, we often forget that, as it stands at least, aquatic farming is riddled with the same issues as meat and dairy farming. With the work of innovative fish farmers and researchers, however, that all may be about to change. Check out this gallery to learn how underwater farming may help to combat climate change.

Looks of love on Harry and Meghan's wedding anniversary

In the run-up to their sixth wedding anniversary, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on an unofficial tour of Nigeria. Their schedule included events and activities related to their Archwell Foundation and the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event organized by the prince, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary.
