Leo DiCaprio’s wife requirements: must be a basketball-loving model

Leonardo DiCaprio and Erin Heatherton have been together the same amount of time as Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. It’s been about eight or nine months since Leo basically thumbed through the Victoria’s Secret catalog and ordered her. But eight months is nothing to scoff at – it’s a decent amount of time with a man who at best is a serial monogamist (ha) and at worst is a stinky, non-deodorant-wearing, womanizing commitment-phobe. Leo does seem pretty low-key with Erin – they even stepped out for a bike ride photo op last week. So is Erin “the One”? HAhahahahaha. I mean… hahaha. Oh, that was a serious question. Is she the One? Star Mag thinks she might be – because she loves basketball and so does Leo. OMG WHAT AN AMAZING CONNECTION.

Leonardo DiCaprio has certainly dated his fair share of gorgeous models in the past, but Leo is currently putting a full-court press on his latest love, Erin heatherton. Leo and Erin first hooked up last winter in NYC, after he spotted her at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, and they’ve been an item ever since. But might she actually be The One?

“Up until now, Leo’s ladies have been prissy, girly types,” says a source. “But when he met Erin, he realizes he had found not only a beautiful woman but a talented athlete as well! Erin loves sports and in fact was headed for a career as a basketball player when a modeling agent approached her on a Miami beach seven years ago.”

Erin played basketball in high school, and she planned to attend college on a basketball scholarship before a career in modeling came calling.

“Leo is also a huge basketball fan,” says the source. “he has a full court at his home in LA, and is a Lakers season ticket holder. Whenever he and Erin are together they are always doing something physical, like hiking in nearby canyons, riding their mountain bikes or playing ball together. They never run out of fun activities to do.”

“Leo has been a real holdout when it comes to getting married,” says the pal. “But with a girl like Erin, who has beauty brains and can shoot hoops… he may finally have found his future wife!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Yeah, I really don’t think the biggest problem in all of Leo’s relationships up to Erin was that the girls didn’t give a crap about basketball. But far be it from me to pontificate on the importance of sports in a man’s life – I really couldn’t care less. I’ve considered dumping my imaginary husband Michael Fassbender because I find his hobbies (cars, racing) boring. We don’t have to share everything, you know? That’s how I rationalize it. Anyway, about Leo and the possibility that Erin is “the One”. I want to give that girl a hug. Poor Erin.

PS… We really need to discuss Leo’s creepy wax figure. OMG IT’S SO CREEPY. There, we discussed it.

    I’ve been saying that for a while now: he chooses his girlfriends from Victoria’s Secret’s catalogue.

    • oh, please says:

      +100

    • Red Granny says:

      Haha, that´s what I have been thinking, too.

    • Maguita says:

      Yep!

      Wonder how sexy he would look when he’s Jack Nicholson’s age, and STILL flipping through that catalog for a girlfriend!

      EDIT: BTW, he IS starting to look like Jack Nicholson!

      • Rhea says:

        LMAO. Dang, you’re right! I just realized he IS starting too look like him!!

      • Chicagogurl17 says:

        Agreed. It’s those lines on either side of his forehead and how smooshed his face looks as he ages.

    • Aubra says:

      Well attending the Playboy Mansion parties proved to be a tired example to follow since Bill Maher, Scott Baio and Fred Durst got all dusty and undesireable…

      • dietcokeho says:

        why does she look just like him? CREEPY! Like a sister, or a female version, whats attracting him to her?

  2. oh, please says:

    1. Star Magazine. To me that says it all about the credibility.
    2. Gisele wasn`t a typical `girlie girl`.
    3. Leo getting married to a panty model because she loves basketball? Thanks for the joke!!!!

    • Kit says:

      +1
      I think they said exactly the same thing about all his exes at some point.
      She seems like a really sweet girl. I hope she won’t be too disappointed when she turns 26 and he trades her in.
      The waxwork is hilarious!

      • Meg says:

        25 is the age limit so she has less than 2 years! She should enjoy it while it lasts!

  3. BB says:

    Dicaprio an athlete ? lol

    • iseepinkelefants says:

      I know why didn’t anyone pick up on that lol statement? Doughy, fat boy Di Caprio hiking and playing sports? Really? Because it doesn’t show.

  4. Violet says:

    Why does the wax figure look lke Chace Crawford?

  5. oh, please says:

    One more thought. Leo is a well known bachelor who doesn`t show the sing of settling down. But every time he starts dating someone new within months you have stories about marriage. I don`t get it…

    • Maguita says:

      Not to sound insensitive, but Leo will never settle down, let alone grow up, before his mother dies, and he gets his heart broken AFTER his mother had passed away.

      She had raised a very self-serving brute, who is desperately trying to sell us a sensitive and caring man/boy image, so we can FINALLY give him a damn Oscar!

      His cheating on his “girlfriends” is legendary, his “pus*y-Patrol Posse” with their insensitively profligate Hollywood adventures are at best misogynist.

      This self-serving man/boy needs to lose his mamma first, who has up to now immensely encouraged his unequaled conceit and egocentricity, and grow the f-ck up to finally become a man.

      Until then, any woman with self-respect would stay the f-ck away.

      Or negotiate an iron-clad, equally self-serving pre-nup agreement.

      • Wizza says:

        *Applause* @ Maguita
        The most ACCURATE description of the man that is Leonardo Wilhelm Dicaprio
        Trust

      • Mira says:

        Right on! It’s obvious that he’s a man-child by the way he dresses, strutting around LA and NYC in shorts and sport shoes, eating candy and making goofy faces. Just give him an Oscar so he can go on a sabbatical and not play another depressed, dark character on screen.

      • Maguita says:

        Thank you Ladies!

        I just can’t push aside his behavior and shenanigans outside his movie career, just because at one time he was cute.

        I’d rather hear about his dirty stories, which would have so much more credibility, than what he is looking in a wife! And what did exactly happen with Blake Lively?

      • normades says:

        Unfortunately we will probably never know 🙁

      • sullivan says:

        Damn, you nailed it! Well said, Maguita.

  6. Chris says:

    “But far be it from me to pontificate on the importance of sports in a man’s life – I really couldn’t care less.”

    “I really couldn’t care less.” Hooray, an American finally gets that phrase correct. It shits me to tears when people, particulalry Americans, say “I could care less.”

    As for Leo, he’s the new Mick Jagger and he’s going to wind up being a dirty old man who makes unwanted advances on college girls in bookstores, just like Jack Nicholson.

    • Steve says:

      That’s true.
      It is also beats my imagination as to why people write “could OF, should OF, would OF” to mean “could HAVE”. And “your” to mean “you’re” as in “you are”

    • Zelda says:

      I’ve heard loads of British people use the phrase wrong too. So you don’t have to be an asshole about it.

      Signed,
      A non-American who hates when Brits act as though they have superiour linguistic skills

      For your perusal: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pretentious

      • lu says:

        I’m British and I have never heard a single British person say it the wrong way.

        Also why do you assume the person complaining about American incorrect use of English is British. There are many English speaking countries filled with people who speak it correctly.

        We don’t need to “act” as if we have superior (there’s no “u” in it) linguistic skills, you make it so easy for us to be superior. Why don’t you peruse that dictionary site a little more.

    • Angela R says:

      When a person says “I could care less” they are being sarcastic. Fairly obvious.

      • Fleur says:

        I actually think what the poster is implying is the expression is used incorrectly. It should be: “I couldNOT care less.” Rather than saying the habitually used “I COULD care less.”

        Saying you “could NOT” care less implies you’re in a state of caring zero. you care to the minimum amount.

        “I could care less” means you could at some point care less than you do now at the present— meaning you care.

        It’s a phrase a lot of people misuse.

      • Angela R. says:

        Yes Fleur, I understand what the original commenter was trying to say. My point is that when a person says “I couldn’t care less” they are being literal, and when a person says “I could care less” they are being sarcastic. Both are fine in casual conversation.

    • Maguita says:

      “It shits me to tears when people, particulalry Americans, say “I could care less.”

      You mean, it isn’t as classy as someone commenting on an American site, by shitting on Americans?

      Huh.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      You what sh-ts ME to tears? When someone writes “particulalry” instead of PARTICULARLY while sanctimoniously commenting on the grammatical errors of others. But then again, what do I know? I’m just a dumb American.

      • Chickenlishus says:

        Lol

      • Chris says:

        Typos aside my point stands. And no people aren’t being sarcastic when they say “I could care less” they’re just ignorant. I don’t mean to pick on Americans but they seem to say I could care less a lot more than people here in Australia do.

        “I’ve heard loads of British people use the phrase wrong too. So you don’t have to be an asshole about it.”

        Yes I do. Being an asshole is what gives me my edge. Without out it I’d just be another inoffensive bore like 95% of the population. Seriously imagine going through life only saying things that people agreed with. I can’t do it. I won’t.

        “Saying you “could NOT” care less implies you’re in a state of caring zero. you care to the minimum amount.

        “I could care less” means you could at some point care less than you do now at the present— meaning you care.

        It’s a phrase a lot of people misuse.”

        Spot on, Fleur. Beautifully put.

        BTW, excuse the different avatars one is from my work computer the other is from my home computer.

      • janie says:

        Chris, it’s possible to be interesting without being an asshole. You’re not giving yourself an “edge”, you’re making yourself stand out as a “particulalry” negative person.

        Yes, grammatical mistakes are annoying, but there are stupid people in every country. If stereotypes were to be believed, all Americans are fat and stupid, and all Australians are crocodile-wrestling thieves. Don’t generalize an entire population based on the handful you’ve met or seen on TV.

  7. Sisi says:

    this reminds me, I forgot to put deodorant on this morning!

  8. Sabrine says:

    This is a guy who doesn’t want to part with any of his money in a marital break-up. He’s not marrying anyone.

  9. I.want.shoes says:

    She looks like every other girlfriend he’s had-they are completely interchangeable. Probably gets mixed up about their names too.

  10. Madpoe says:

    Yeah. Miss Erin is “the one” for right now! Perhaps until the next big issue of Victoria Secrets comes out.

  11. Eleonor says:

    She looks a lot like Bar Rafaeli.

    • L says:

      No she doesn’t. I think Erin is a lot cuter. She does look a bit like Emma Bunton though (baby spice)

    • normades says:

      I always thought if you took all of Leo’s blonde exs and smashed them all together you’d get Erin Heatherton.

  12. Rhea says:

    So basically he wants a supermodel-athlete. What’s next? Supermodel-maid??? Supermodel-mom?? 😀

  13. Talie says:

    I’m not her biggest fan, but I completely believe that if Blake still wanted to be dating him, she would be. And she didn’t seem into any sports.

  14. Kay says:

    lol leo has a type but he’s hardly a commitment phobe. His relationships with gisele and bar lasted several years.. probably as long as some hollywood marriages. He’s never going to get married and he doesn’t need to tbh. I don’t understand why any celeb would get married. The only reason why anyone would get married is for the financial benefits. You don’t need a certificate to prove that you love someone.

    • lol says:

      If he is not a commitment phobe then why isn`t he married to Gisele or Bar? Because he took off when it turned serious. Get real!

      • Kay says:

        commitment =/= getting married

        he was with those two for 5-6 years each. It’s not like he hasn’t had long term relationships.

        and he hasn’t always dated younger women. He dates models in general and most models tend to be in their 20s. During the titanic days, he dated helena christensen and naomi campbell and they are both older than him.

  15. Kay says:

    and I like Erin a lot. I kind of roll my eyes at the people who think all models are dumb. I follow her on twitter and she seems like a cool girl. Leo is lucky to have her tbh.

    • lola says:

      agree, Erin seems to be a really humble and educated girl. I like her and I like this couple too.

  16. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Does anyone else find his modelizing pathetic? I don’t even think it’s gross so much as it is pitiful. Makes me wonder if he has any true connections with women or if he just needs a hot piece on his arm. Seems sort of sad.

    PS. Whenever I see pics of him now I just think of that tab story about Leo’s meltdown, locking himself in his trailer after Blake dumped his ass. Probably not true but I kinda wish it was….

    • L says:

      The only person who would believe that story is lainey due to her pathetic Blake stanning

    • Rhea says:

      Oohhh, I wish it was true! That’ll teach him a lesson. You’re not all that, Leo! 😀

    • Maguita says:

      LOVED that Lainey story!! Leo has a heart? Leo got his feelings hurt? He was crying over a woman??

      Wonder though if he cried because his heart got broken… Or he was stunned that he got dumped first?

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Maguita-In my mind I see the story as such that Leo’s pride was shattered (more so than his heart broken) and he finally got a taste of his own medicine. He got taken down a notch. Whether it’s true or not, I hope it went down like that 🙂

  17. morganowski says:

    When I see leonardo, all I can see is Jack Nicholson. He is slowly morphing into him, even his facial expressions.

  18. Rhiley says:

    Leo’s starting to look a little like Worf from Star Trek.

  19. marie says:

    lol even judy zipper looks more like leo than this wax statue

  20. T.C. says:

    He is never going to get married. Needs to be single to upgrade his girlfriends when they get close to age 30. Must have access to women in their early 20’s.

  21. ladybert62 says:

    Isnt he also the one that still lives with mommy? So I guess his potential bride better like living with mommy!

    I have no idea what any woman sees in this man – besides his money!

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      I thought Leo (for years has) shared a pad and vacationed with his actor pal Lucas Haas?

      • mimi says:

        That would explain matters.

        I wish he would be open about it if that’s true. That would mean he is not shallow and has issues.

        I hope all of these actors will live their life without bearding and so others would find the courage to live their life in the open.

  22. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Whatever makes him happy. Like George Clooney, both are great actors, both just want these kind of short term relationships. It does make me look at them slighly different, like I wonder if they have close female friends, or if they are afraid of having deep relationships with women, but that’s personal life and I don’t let it interfer with my enjoyment of their movies.

  23. Francesca says:

    and doesn’t mind if he sees other women… that qualifier should go on the list.

  24. Emma - the JP Lover says:

    “Leo DiCaprio’s wife requirements: must be a basketball-loving model …”

    … and male.

  25. phoenix says:

    I think he’s bi.

  26. Bec says:

    She looks A LOT like Blake Lively.
    I read in the comments that Leo still lives with his mom — Is that true?

    • Teka says:

      NO! She lives in Miami. Since he became 21 he left mom’s home. But they are really close, and think this is too cute.

      Love him 4ever.

  27. dizzy says:

    Wow, he really aims high with those wife requirements (that’s even if he’ll ever marry).

  28. normades says:

    When is that Gatsby mess coming out? This story sounds like it came straight from Leo’s PR team.

  29. twoblues says:

    What’s on the tip of her nose? I guess with that body few people even notice her nose.

    • iseepinkelefants says:

      She’s blonde, skinny and tall. It doesn’t matter what her face looks like. I’m always surprised by some of the butterfaces that are considered hot just because they’re blonde and skinny.

      But yes, the tip does seem to have a dent in it.

    • marie says:

      it seems to be the result of a bad nosejob, so i guess people don’t mention it because they feel sorry?

  30. lisa2 says:

    I just never got the attraction for Leo. As many noted I find him a man/child as well. I was always much more impressed with River Phoenix. Don’t know much about Leo before What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

    I find him a lot like George. More asexual to me. George can be with any number of women and I never get a sexual vibe with him or any of them. It is the same with Leo. I don’t see any warmth or sexual tension with them and any of the women they are with.

    And I am on the side of Blake walking away. I think she found what most of the women didn’t. That Leo is immature and she was looking for a man. I will be more impressed with Stacy if she walked away before George sends her away. But don’t see that happening. Blake I think is smarter then people gave her credit for. And Leo met his match.

    • BB says:

      +1
      I also think that Dicaprio would never have had so much success if River Phoenix was alive, I find River Phoenix so hot, he was my first celebrity crush 🙂

  31. Maya says:

    Apparently Erin is 23, but she kind of looks like she could pass for 5 years younger, doesn’t she? I don’t know; maybe it’s just me, but every time I see a picture of her my first thought is, “HOW old is she again?”

  32. mewmow says:

    I find it amusing when people make a big deal about him, and George Clooney, being womanizers and and how they go after young woman. Personally, they both are gross and no amount of money could makee me touch them, some women like it and if they want to go in with eyes open, and they do, more power to them.

  33. Moi says:

    You left out the word “male” in your title. Leo DiCaprio’s wife requirements: must be a basketball-loving male model (or Lukas Haas).

  34. Lotta says:

    A friend of mine (who is an italian model) had a one night stand with him when he was an rising star, but she wasn’t to impressed with his skills. However, that was years ago so he could have improved.
    I never found him attractive, he isn’t masculine enough for me.

  35. Candy7468 says:

    You know I used to find Leonardo DiCaprio really hot but he’s gotten really weird looking and old. And he does resemble Jack Nickelson both physically and in the way he acts, although at least Jack can make fun of himself. The womanizing itself doesn’t bother me, since I actually do like George Clooney, but what bothers me is he goes for the same blonde floozey yet he can’t bother to look decent himself. Why does he always look like some bum you see in the park?

    @”I’ve considered dumping my imaginary husband Michael Fassbender because I find his hobbies (cars, racing) boring” : so sad you think Formula One is boring…
