Peter Andre defended Leonardo DiCaprio's tendency to date younger women as he discussed his own marriage.
The Mysterious Girl singer, 50, compared Leo's age-gap relationships to his own, with the singer marrying 33-year-old Emily MacDonagh in 2015.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Leonardo and 28-year-old Maya Jama have been enjoying time together on a number of dates.
A source claimed that the Shutter Island actor, 48, sent the Love Island host a bunch of flowers after mutual friends introduced them.
However, the actor has since denied all claims, according to reports.

After hearing the rumours, Peter took to his column to say Maya and Leo 'would be one hell of a power couple'.
Peter and Emily have been married since 2015 (peterandre/Instagram)"Although she’s 28, 20 years his junior, you can't help but admit that Leo looks awesome," he wrote for OK!
"As you all know, Emily and I have been together for nearly 11 years and have known each other for 13 years.
"Even though she is younger than me, I don’t think age matters as we are so happy together!"
Reports had originally said Leo and Maya partied together in London in February over the BAFTA weekend.
Maya then jetted to New York last month for work but seemingly made sure she took the time to reconnect with the Hollywood star.

The insider earlier claimed Leonardo and Maya have been in regular contact.
"They have both recently come out of long-term relationships so neither of them are rushing into anything," they said. "They are having fun and seeing how it goes.
"They live in different countries and Maya has had a long distance relationship before and knows it’s tough, so they are taking things a day at a time. Leo has certainly been wooing her though, he loves spending time with her," they told The Sun.
