Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow reunite at AFI Awards
Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow were photographed together again — nearly 30 years after she once turned him down.
The Oscar-winning actor, 51, and the Goop founder, 53, reunited at the AFI Awards held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on January 9. The two Hollywood stars smiled as they posed side by side for cameras.
Their reunion comes years after Paltrow spoke candidly about their past on the Call Her Daddy podcast in May 2023. While discussing her dating history, she revealed that DiCaprio had asked her out when they were younger.
“Nope, never made out with Leo,” Paltrow said. “He tried back in the day. But he was already like, you know, he was very loose with the goods from when he was 19.”
Although she did not specify her age at the time, a February 1994 photo of the pair at the National Board of Review Motion Picture Awards places Paltrow at around 21 and DiCaprio at 19.
Today, Paltrow is married to American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk. The couple tied the knot in 2018. She also shares two children — Apple, 21, and Moses, 18 — with ex-husband Chris Martin.
Reflecting on their post-divorce relationship, she told Drew Barrymore in 2020, “In a way, my relationship with Chris is better 1768029041. So, I do think that it can be done.”
She added, “I really wanted my kids to not be traumatised if it were possible. Chris and I committed to putting them first, and that’s harder than it looks.”
DiCaprio is currently dating Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, 27. The couple, first linked in August 2023, recently rang in the New Year in St. Barths with Tom Brady.
Speaking to Vogue France in April 2025, Ceretti said dating DiCaprio is “something you learn.”
“If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed,” she said. “Because love protects and gives confidence.”
At least six people were fatally shot on Friday night in Clay County, Mississippi, and the suspect is in custody, according to local news outlets and law enforcement, without providing further details.
The deaths occurred at three different shooting locations, according to WTVA, an NBC News affiliate.
The suspect is in custody “and no longer poses a threat to our community,” Eddie Scott, the Clay County sheriff, posted on social media.
His post did not give a specific figure for the number of fatalities, but WTVA said six people died.
Scott and the sheriff’s department did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
“I ask that you lift our victims and their families in your prayers,” Scott wrote on Facebook.
Located in north-eastern Mississippi, Clay County has a population of nearly 20,000.
Beloved character actor T.K. Carter, best known for his role as Nauls in John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror classic The Thing, has died.
He was 69.
As reported by TMZ, the police confirmed that Carter was found at his home in Duarte, California, on Friday evening, January 9, following a welfare check.
However, there’s no sign of any foul play.
An official cause of death has not been released.
The actor’s career has spanned nearly five decades, highlighting his versatility across film and television.
His breakout role came as the resourceful cook Nauls in The Thing, starring opposite Kurt Russell. He became a household name as teacher Mike Fulton on the hit sitcom Punky Brewster and later as T-Bone on The Steve Harvey Show.
With his passing, there’s an immediate outpouring of tributes from fans and colleagues online, who remembered him for his memorable performances and enduring screen presence.
He is survived by his wife, Janet Carter.
