Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid were pictured "getting close" at a party in New York City earlier this week, amid the ongoing speculation that the pair are currently dating.
There have been rumours in recent weeks that the actor, 47, and the model, 27, have been developing a relationship following his split from model Camila Morrone, 25.
Gigi is believed to be the oldest woman that Leo has been romantically linked to, as the Oscar winner hasn't been known to publicly date anyone who's over the age of 25.
The pair were spotted together at private members club Casa Cipriani in Manhattan on Monday (September 12), at a party said to have been thrown by some of his friends.

Photos from the party, obtained by the Daily Mail, show Leo and Gigi leaning in close together whilst surrounded by other guests, as the pair appear to chat.
One photo appears to show Leo with his hand on her shoulder and another seems to show the pair reaching out towards each other - possibly in a bid to hold hands.
Leo - who has previously dated the likes of Blake Lively, now 35, and Gisele Bündchen, now 42 - is seen wearing a black top and pants, accessorised with a baseball cap.
