In an interview, Ceretti spoke candidly about her relationship with the Oscar-winning actor.
The model explained that being in a relationship with someone who has a much larger following can be challenging. “When you’re in a relationship with someone who has a bigger fan base, you become 'the girlfriend.' And that can be extremely frustrating. People start talking about you as ‘his girlfriend,’ or ‘his ex.’ It’s uncomfortable knowing that because of people labeling you, you may not be able to love the person you want,” she said.
Addressing the difficulties of being with one of the world’s most desirable figures, Ceretti reassured: "If you love each other, there’s no reason to worry. Love protects you and gives you security."
Ceretti, who met DiCaprio in Milan, also spoke about the iconic "Titanic."
The model spoke highly of the 1997 film, saying: "Who hasn’t watched it? Is there anyone who doesn’t love it? It’s an iconic film."
