Last week, we got our first photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively TOGETHER, after months of speculation that they were secretly boning. Blake and Leo were photographed embracing and looking chummy on a yacht in the South of France – these are the photos! As I look through the whole photo set, I grow even more convinced that this is Leo’s version of an “official rollout” of his latest girlfriend. He doesn’t seem to mind that Blake’s kind of a famewhore. Usually Leo plays his personal life close to the vest, so we’ll see how these two do in the long term. But for now, he seems okay with Blake’s oh-so-casual “tips” to the media. For example, Leo and Blake headed to Portofino, Italy after Cannes. They were even photographed together – you can see the photo here. And with their second sighting together within one week’s time, People Magazine is calling it – they’re officially together. SORT OF.
The Cannes Film Festival is over, but Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively continued to hang out together in Europe.
The pair, who were spotted hugging on a yacht on the French Riviera during the festival last week, were seen again looking friendly in Portofino, Italy, on Sunday.
Lively, 23, and the newly single DiCaprio, 36 – both wearing hats and sunglasses – went sightseeing and “seemed happy in each other’s company,” according to an observer. They were “laughing and walking” together.
No word on whether the outing was just for fun or had a business element to it. Last November, the two stepped out for dinner at The Lion in New York City, where they were reportedly talking about a movie project.
DiCaprio and model Bar Refaeli confirmed their break-up earlier this month, while Lively split from her boyfriend, Penn Badgley, last year.
Reps for both DiCaprio and Lively had no comment.

Well, at first, Blake was interested in genuine business, which was the Daisy part in The Great Gatsby. But she screwed up the audition, and the part is going to Carey Mulligan. So Blake set her sights on much, much bigger “bidness”: the bidness of being Leonardo’s girlfriend. I think she made it happen. And I still admire her for it. The chick’s got hustle, you know?

They look so boring.
@Lantana ITA. This PR relationship is so dull.
Paps don’t go to such places if they aren’t tipped off. It’s very expansive and the pap agencies don’t want to waste money unless they are told they will get the money shot. Seems like LD finally has agreed to these games too. What is he hiding, that boyfriend?
As Lainey said I thought Leo operated in stealth. Never would’ve guessed he’d sell out like this.
Make that three…just seems staged.
Had many cups of coffee but this romance still has me yawning and doing a popular K-Stew eyeroll.
Worst photo op ever, Blake is such a famewhore and Leo is desperately trying to look straight just like Jake G. Pathetic.
He is sooooo gay.
I doubt K-Stew would roll since she is a part of the most embarrassing and unconvincing showmance in recent years.
He’s a hottie, but her?? What about the poor starving models??
Also I think it’s crazy how you can be with the same person for years and then move on quick like that without feeling awkward..scandalous!
I love it….this is going to be an epic relationship I can’t wait to see what happens because there is going to be so much trying from Blake…As for his sexuality, I think that he’s bi….He could of course be the one named in that lawsuit TMZ was talking about a couple of weeks ago and maybe that’s his motive for all these photo-ops.
I hate her for this. I may let Sienna have her prey but Blake – no. Blake is a bitch. dumb bitch. she does not deserve it. I know DiCaprio is not the smartest, greatest guy around and he probably deserves her but he’s just seen as such a catch and I’d hate her to bag him. I’d just hate it.
First actresses steal all of the magazine covers, now they’re creeping in and taking modelizers. Is nothing sacred?! Have those actresses no boundaries?! Won’t someone think about the models?!
It’s hard out there for a model.
(sarcasm)
Good grief Ria, such hate for someone you don’t know.
She is a bitch, why? Because she is young, ambitious and taking advantage of things thrown her way.
DiCaprio isn’t the smartest? Why? You know this how? Seems to me he has to have some modicum of intelligence to have the career that he does.
Such negativity.
She can have carb-faced Leo, I lust after her pink Chanel purse.
But yeah, you gotta admire Blake’s hustle.
Finally – I personally find the tone of this story offensive. Just like we say that no one person can be a homnewrecker – no one person can make a match happen. If Blake and Leo are together (and it sure looks like it) it is because he wants to be there. She didn’t force him. He obviously wants her with him or it wouldn’t be happening. Good for them. I personally like Blake. I think she is pretty and has alot going for her. I also think that the rude comments have a whole lot of jealously going on.
Leo doesn’t sell out. He doesn’t need to. I am not all that sure what he finds interesting about Blake Lively but whatever as long she is no where near Ryan Gosling.
damn. I am jealous of this girls skillz. And hair.
Baby daddy time!
@mln76 Hmmmm. Never thought of this being a set up as a possible deflection for that blind. Good thinking!
Sorry, but I find this girl really annoying, to say the least. I mean “I’d rather watch something with Megan Fox than with this mumbling b*tch” kind of annoying.
And I couldn’t care less about who Leonardo DiCarbface dates. I only fear that Lively — who has already reached fame she doesn’t deserve — will get more roles in high profile films. I know her “acting range” *giggles* will help her land the typical “girlfriend” roles, but even those I wish were played by someone else (Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba — talentless actresses who are indeed pretty). Because make no mistakes, this girl is anything but dumb. She’s already achieved a lot with not much: her talent? Well, in order to be considered a bad actress she still has to improve her acting “skills”. Her looks? Tall, leggy blonde with a cute face…I don’t think that’s a rare thing to find in Hollywood.
P.S.: I wonder if DiCaprio’s fans, those who have taken every opportunity available to bash Bar Refaeli (who’s a famewhore too, I’m not denying that), will talk about this new girl in the future.
Forgot to add: Lively’s teeth are so white they can be seen from space.
Cool. Just don’t look directly in her teeth… /oh, holy shine and whiteness/
Now more then ever I’m convinced he’s gay…she’s nothing but a starfcker. A year ago I couldn’t tell the difference between her and Whitney Port.
These pictures looks like friends greeting each other to me. No chemistry at all. I don’t buy a relationship with Blake. She’s way too try-hard. If anything he’s just buying some time until his next model.
I don’t have much of an opinion on either. I NEVER found him attractive so he again ends up getting the steal in this deal. I still can’t tell you who she is without looking it up what movie, show or song she is famous for so I don’t know what she did to make everyone disdain her so.
In my opinion, this is either a fauxshowmance (like Swiftenhall) or one of those times where the chick tames the lion (like Katy Perry and Russell Brand). I’ve wondered about which team Leo plays for but with the # of beautiful models he strings along and for how long it’s difficult to doubt he only has eyes for the ladies.
Nothing to worry friends, Leo will marry her non showbiz girlfriend on 2013. She is very simple, sweet, elegant, loving, cute and God fearing person. So lets just wait and see.
he’s so past his prime. why is his face always so bloated. blake could do better. this showmance won’t last.
@mln76: I have to admit I love this too. It will make for some very interesting gossip hehe.
Off Topic but I just wanted to add:
There seems to be a lot of REALLY nasty hate/bitchiness from people commenting on this site lately. And that goes across the board for all celebs not just this story.
Is it school holidays in the USA at the moment or something? Lots of nasty pieces of work on many threads.
It is a real turn off and although I like a good snark fest as much as anyone, I fear the nastiness here is starting to get out of hand…
It has to be a meeting for an upcoming movie that is getting extra spin for publicity. In other photos you see that the guy in the white fedora is spielberg and that they and he (with others) are involved in serious conversation. Im going to guess we are going to hear announcements for a new spielberg movie soon, unless the new tintin movie set for 2015 release is going to be live action. Leo as tintin? I’d pay money to see that.
I’m sorry but I don’t see any romance what-so-ever with these two. They look like brother and sister. Her hugs to him and like a little girls and his hugs to her are like an older brother to a younger sister. I see no chemistry what-so-ever.
Actors, I reckon they would be the nicest people in the world when they want something from you and stone cold snobs when they don’t.
There is NO WAY that Leo is gay. WHERE do you guys get that from??? Random.
If I didn’t listen to the ‘gay’ whispers surrounding him before then I damn sure am questioning it now….this screams of a showmance. People talk so much about Gyllenhaal but I’m starting to wonder if maybe Leo is the Toothy Tile?!
If DiCaprio was willing to exchange Bar Refaeli for this non-person than he is an idiot. I also agree…how do you go from 6 years with a woman and then just move on.
I think it is a movie deal or Leo keeps getting them younger and younger. Pretty soon, he will be dating Halee Steinfeld,oh I forgot, she is not blond.
This Blake Lively is just a fill-in for Bar Refaeli.
By the way, she(Bar) seems fine and as far as I can see,has not jumped into bed with anyone.
She is magnificent and Lively is yech!
What a load of crap. YES this IS a ‘showmance’ of the highest order… this relationship is soooooooooooo fake….just like the one with that Israeli bird BAR…
Leo needs to seriously grow up; this chasing and flaunting young blonde birds is getting pathetic now, and its so convenient that this relationship has suddenly sprung up. No WAY is this real? How on earth would you move on that quickly from a a 5 or 6 year relationship?
I like Leo and his movies and his passion for the environment, but his ‘love life’ is a joke, and this is just laughable.
I bet a BILLION dollars he does not marry her! And I notice how he never goes with very successful and sassy women, like Kate Winslett or Cameron Diaz; he only goes for women intellectually inferior and not massively successful. Is he intimidated by women as successful and intelligent as him?
Leo is attractive and talented, but although it’s nothing to do with me (or any of us here,) this side of Leo grates on me something awful… If he was a pal of mine, I would say the same.. you’re hurtling towards 40, grow up man!
