Leo And Kate In Love Their Hearts Do Go On!

The Titanic Besties Take Their Love to New Heights on a Cosy Getaway

Twenty years on from the most epic love story the world’s ever seen on screen, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have brought our Titanic dreams to life! ‘They chatted and walked down to the swimming pool, holding onto each other by the waist. They laid down next to each other on a sofa by the pool house, and exchanged some tender gestures. It was a lot more intimate and flirtatious than just old friends catching up,’ says an eyewitness, who watched the pair’s relationship go from platonic to romantic in sunny Saint-Tropez on July 26.

‘Leo’s had feelings for Kate since the day they met when they screen tested together for Titanic. He thought she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen – and still does,’ reveals a friend of the notorious playboy. ‘Unfortunately for Leo, Kate kept him in the friend zone.’

In the two decades that followed, Leo, 42, has kept himself distracted with a slew of models – including Gisele Bündchen, Nina Agdal and Toni Garrn to name but a few – and fellow actor Blake Lively. ‘Over the years, he moved on and dated model after model, but he never connected with them on an intellectual level like he did with Kate,’ another insider explains.
