Leonardo DiCaprio is apparently said to be “really bothered” by all the rumours and claims that he only dates women under 25.
If you haven’t been on the internet that much over the last couple of weeks, then you may have missed all the online discourse and controversy surrounding the Hollywood acting megastar’s current – but only rumoured – romantic links to an Israeli model, who is considerably younger than he is.
DiCaprio is 48, while the girl the Oscar-winning actor and environmentalist was linked to, Eden Polani, is currently 19 years old.
Rumours of a reported romance between the two started flying earlier this month when pictures of the pair sat next to each other at a party surfaced and began doing the rounds on social media, going on to generate plenty of critical comments and opening up the floor for a wider discussion about DiCaprio’s dating history.
DiCaprio’s previous relationships and romantic links have been well-publicised, with the ages of his former love interests having been a hot-topic of discussion for years.

With his previous romances having included Blake Lively, Erin Heatherton, Kelly Rohrbach, and various other actresses and models, DiCaprio’s apparent penchant for only dating women aged 25 or younger has even become a meme – with one widely-circulated graph showing that his girlfriends stay the same age even as he grows older.
DiCaprio famously broke up with long-term girlfriend Camila Morrone just months after her 25th birthday, and the same thing happened with his model ex, Bar Refaeli.

The oldest woman DiCaprio has ever been romantically-linked to was supermodel Gigi Hadid, who was 27 at the time links surfaced.
Eden Polani addressed the photos of her alongside DiCaprio at the party on her Instagram story shortly after rumours started circulating, stating that she’s “not obliged to air my private life” and that “we all have the right to fall in love”.

But, with an age gap of 29 years between the two, thousands took to social media to share their views on the situation.

Several people even pointed out that young beauty wasn’t even born when DiCaprio had his big break in Titanic – which came out in 1998, and she was born in 2003.
Now, with the dust having settled a little on the controversial situation, a source close to DiCaprio has exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail that the actor is reportedly desperate to “ditch” his image of only dating considerably younger women as he’s apparently “really bothered” by it.

“Leo is very single right now and he is not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women,” the insider revealed.
“He is looking for something more mature in the relationship department. It is just ridiculous because he cannot go anywhere without being linked to the youngest beautiful woman there.
“He wants to ditch this image once and for all and he is really bothered that this continues to follow him.

Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? named biggest UK studio album EVER by Official Charts
Danny Jones
You’re damn right: Oasis continue to be MASSIVE as new figures from the Official Charts Company have confirmed that (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? has clocked in as the biggest UK studio album of all time.
The Britpop icons and history go hand in hand.
Yes, according to the latest numbers by our domestic chart-crunchers, only two other albums surpassed Oasis‘ second LP – and they’re both greatest hits collections.
The announcement was made on Wednesday, 22 July, just over a whole year on from those reunion world tour shows at Heaton Park. How fitting.
Starting off by channelling Liam Gallagher energy and quipping that “Oasis vibes are in the area”, they go on to explain the colossal cumulative record.
“Oasis claim one of the biggest honours in British music history, they write, “as (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is named the UK’s Official biggest studio album of all time, according to new Official Charts Company data.”
Combining UK sales of the record – both physical and digital over the years – along with modern streaming statistics, the sophomore outing from the Britpop giants has amassed approximately 6.2 million UK chart units. Staggering stuff.
Last year’s Live ’25 shows have no doubt helped give an added boost to their metrics, but it’s still gargantuan stuff from the local band.
Yet another incredible stat not just for the Burnage boys but the Manchester music scene as a whole.
2026 looks to be just as big a comeback, by the looks of things.
In case you were wondering who beat them out in the race for the top spot, they were pipped to the post by Queen’s Greatest Hits and the same again from ABBA, two worthy opponents to take third place after.
You can see the rest of the list in full right HERE.
Oh, and Definitely Maybe also made the list, too, coming in at number 39 – making that two in the top 50 even amongst all the compilations.
It feels like last July all over again, doesn’t it? And if now isn’t the perfect time to stick on the title track, we don’t know what is.
Actually, sod it – we’re sticking the full thing on…
Manchester City auctioning off exclusive ‘artefacts’ from Pep Guardiola’s office
Danny Jones
Manchester City are set to auction off a limited number of used and/or signed items previously owned by legendary football manager Pep Guardiola himself.
The iconic Catalan head coach may have now left the club, but it’s fair to say that supporters are still grieving the bittersweet goodbye – and if you’re one of them, then this might be a good way of clinging on to him and the memories.
Teaming up with MatchWornShirt, an authentic collectables company that deals in memorabilia used by the sporting stars themselves, fans will soon be able to own a ‘piece of Pep’ if they so wish as part of this very special merchandise dump.
So, if you’re a collector of signed or match-worn merch, here’s a taster of what’s up for grabs:
Several items from @PepTeam's office are up for auction 🤝
Yes, should they be willing to put in the winning bid, Blues can genuinely own some of Guardiola‘s office knick-nacks, a tactics board and notes scribed on by the man himself, as well as his actual chair and even his whistle.
Does that count as kissing him? That’s not for us to say…
There is more standard fare, of course, such as worn training kits, photo frames, programmes and other printed media – almost all of which are signed by the 55-year-old.
On the other hand, if you’re so inclined to go for the super rare stuff, you can even buy his desk lamp and go-to coffee cups; whatever floats your boat.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss left Etihad Stadium this summer after 10 years as a Cityzen – with the club even releasing a dedicated ‘Decade Collection’ in his honour – and it now looks as though he could be set for his next job.
His former assistant turned replacement and ex-U23s/Elite Development Squad (EDS), Enzo Maresca, is now in place and making his first impressions on the City squad; safe to say it’ll take some work to leave the same lasting legacy as his mentor.
As for the auction, the club have labelled these exclusive trinkets as “artefacts”, promising that you won’t get many other opportunities, if any, to claim this kind of ‘KeePepsake’.
Meanwhile, in other MCFC news, the City Football Group (CFG) are taking steps to ensure local fans have easier access to matchday tickets with a new postcode lottery, of sorts.
