13 Celebrity Couples With Large Age Gaps: Leonardo DiCaprio, David Foster And More

Leonardo DiCaprio faced backlash after rumors circulated that he was dating the 19-year-old model Eden Polani.

Social media users called out the 48-year-old Oscar-winning actor for his unusual preference for dating younger women. Some alleged that if the rumors were true, then DiCaprio should be considered a "predator" and being a celebrity doesn't "exempt him from being a creep."

Sources that spoke to TMZ and E! News denied that DiCaprio was romantically involved with Polani, saying they only happened to be seated next to each other during Ebony Riley's album release party last week.
