Hanoi [Vietnam], June 7: After years of appearing indifferent to starting a family, Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly seriously considering marriage and having children with his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Star Magazine reported on June 6.
In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone , Leonardo DiCaprio was rather indifferent when asked about his plans to start a family. "I think if it happens, it will happen," the Titanic star shared at the time.
Thoughts about starting a family have changed.
However, according to a close source, the 51-year-old star's views have now changed considerably. The source says Leonardo DiCaprio still has certain reservations about having children in the context of a world facing many problems and upheavals. Nevertheless, the actor has long envisioned himself becoming a father at some point in his life. "He's at an age where it's becoming a now-or-never story," the source shared.
According to this source, Leonardo DiCaprio is also aware that if he has children, he wants to be there for them during important stages of their lives, including when they enter college. In addition, the actor's mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, is said to be one of the reasons he is seriously considering starting a family. "His mother really wants grandchildren. Leo wants to fulfill that wish for her. However, she is now over 80 years old, so time is running out," the source said.
Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti, is reportedly not pressuring him about having children. However, she has not hidden her desire to start a family and have children with the actor in the future . "If there's one thing she's ever made clear, it's her wish to have children with Leo," a source revealed.
The relationship between Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti has recently continued to attract public attention. Recently, the couple was spotted having dinner at the Beefbar restaurant in New York City with Ruby Maguire - the 19-year-old daughter of actor Tobey Maguire, a longtime friend of Leonardo DiCaprio.
The source also confirmed that having children has never been a concern for Leonardo DiCaprio. "Leo loves children and is very good at interacting with them. It's not a problem for him," the source said.
Despite having postponed marriage and children several times to focus on his personal life and career, the 70s-born actor is reportedly having a different perspective on his future. "However, he now feels it's time to make a definitive decision. The good news is that Leo seems to be leaning more towards making it happen, possibly in the not-too-distant future," a source revealed.
