BACKGROUND
9:35 am PT – Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ… Leonardo DiCaprio It is Teyana Taylor They are not dating and there is nothing romantic between them. We’re told Leo is still in a relationship and is not with Teyana. This interaction was strictly friendly, we were told.
Leonardo DiCaprio and his co-star, Teyana Taylor, looked very cozy over the weekend at a pre-Oscars party… with lots of touching going on between the two.
Check out these videos of the two actors – who are currently in production on PT Anderson’s new indie film – chatting on Friday night at the WME party here in Los Angeles, where they were seen making contact at a few different points in the evening.
Specifically… Leo was seen with his arm around Teyana’s waist as they got closer and spoke privately amidst all the party hustle and bustle going on around them.
Teyana was wearing a pretty revealing outfit, FWIW… and her lower back was exposed.
There was another moment where they were flirting a bit – with Teyana and LD staring at each other and TT tucking Leo’s ponytail into the back of his baseball cap. This wasn’t PDA, per se, but you can tell Teyana was comfortable doing it… and the same for Leo.
Once the hair help was complete, they continued to talk… and laughed too. There are no signs that they did anything more revealing than what we can see here, including kissing.

Still, it’s very revealing to see… especially since Leo is supposed to be dating a model Vittoria Ceretti – who was noticeably absent from this party. The last time Leo and Vittoria were seen together in public was recently – they went out at the end of February.
Teyana, of course, is in through a divorce with Iman Shumpert … which sometimes gets really ugly. They share children, and although Teyana tried to keep the divorce proceedings private – much of the drama came to light in public court documents.
Of course, the biggest backdrop here is Leo/Tey acting in the same movie lately – and at first glance, it looks like they’re close. We saw tons of footage of them on setand they seem intrinsically involved in the script… because Teyana filmed a lot of scenes with LD.
Whether they’re more than just friends…no one knows. Clearly, they’re comfortable with each other — comfortable enough to put their hands on each other, at least. One last thing… we know that Leo and Teyana left this party separately, whatever the cost.
We’ve reached out to Leo and Teyana’s camp… so far, no response.
