KEY POINTS

  • Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid were spotted leaving Cipriani in New York City Friday
  • They first sparked dating rumors in September
  • Reports said at the time that the two were not in a rush but "taking it slow"

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid were spotted out on a dinner date in New York City Friday night.

The 48-year-old "Titanic" actor and the 27-year-old model were photographed having dinner at Cipriani, a luxurious Italian restaurant in the Big Apple. The pair were accompanied by DiCaprio's pal, venture capitalist Vivi Nevo, Page Six reported.

Photos obtained by the outlet showed Hadid sporting a midriff gray top, trousers of the same color, a black leather jacket and a blue scarf that she used to cover her face.

DiCaprio was seen wearing an all-black ensemble, which included jeans, a puffy coat, and a Los Angeles Dodgers cap.

The sighting came two months after the Oscar winner and the model were spotted at the same hotel in France while attending Paris Fashion Week in September.

An unnamed insider told Us Weekly that month that DiCaprio and Hadid are "officially dating" and "have a ton of mutual friends," noting that "everyone's happy to see them together, even though it did catch a lot of them off guard."

"[DiCaprio] thinks [Hadid is] beautiful of course but also a wise and cool character who's got a very cultured and educated take on life," the insider added.

Meanwhile, an unnamed source close to the model told People earlier this month that the couple would "see each other in N.Y.C when they can" and that Hadid was having "fun dating Leo."

"She seems very happy and excited about seeing him. She is attracted to him. He treats her really well. She finds him mature and charming," the source said, before adding that Hadid's "first priority is being a mom."

Hadid shares her 2-year-old daughter Khai with her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. She dated the former One Direction member on and off for several years before they called it quits over one year ago following allegations that the "Dusk Till Dawn" singer had a violent altercation with Hadid's mom, Yolanda Hadid, according to Page Six.

DiCaprio ended his relationship with longtime girlfriend Camila Morrone in August after four years of dating.

Prior to Friday's outing, DiCaprio and Hadid were also seen hanging out at Circoloco's massive Halloween bash at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, along with her sister Bella Hadid, model Irina Shayk and art dealer Helly Nahmad.

"Leo wore a [scary] mask, half-monster, half-zombie most of the night unless he was drinking," a witness told Page Six. "The group got bottle service."

Last week, DiCaprio celebrated his 48th birthday at his Beverly Hills mansion, inviting celebrity pals such as Bradley Cooper, Kate Hudson, Mick Jagger, LeBron James, Rami Malek and Jamie Foxx. However, his new ladylove was notably absent from the party.
