British model Neelam Gill has addressed speculation she is dating Leonardo Dicaprio after the pair were spotted lounging in swimwear on a luxury yacht.
The 28-year-old has modelled for major fashion brands including Burberry, has featured in the pages of Vogue magazine, and has walked in fashion shows for Dior and Kanye West.
Rumours have swirled in recent weeks that Neelam could be growing close to 48-year-old film star Leonardo after they have been spotted together on a number of occasions.
And while the pair looked relaxed together on a yacht off the coast of Italy this month, Neelam says things are not as they seem - and she has flatly denied she id dating Leo at all.

She said: “Just to clear up any rumors … I am not Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘new flame.’
“In fact, I am in a committed relationship with his good friend, and have been for many months now.”
She continued: “The only reason we have been pictured in the same vicinity, is because I have been there with my partner.”
And she added: “I hope this clears up all the false stories.”

Rumours are rife that he is dating reality star turned model Bella Hadid - with the pair being spotted in the Hamptnos together earlier this month.
The pair have been rumoured to have grown close for months, with tongues first being set wagging in September 2022 when they were spotted at New York Fashion Week together.
Bella is only one of a long line of models to have been linked with Leo over the decades as the A List bachelor has been reported to have dated Bar Refaeli, Gisele Bundchen, Erin Heatherton and Kelly Rohrbach - among many others - over the years.
While fans have also noted he has a tendency to date younger women and then dump them when they reach the age of 25.
Back in February, reports claimed that the Hollywood star was frustrated that the public considered him a playboy.

A friend close to the star told the MailOnline after he had split from model Camila Morrone: “Leo is very single right now and he is not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women.
“He is looking for something more mature in the relationship department. It is just ridiculous because he cannot go anywhere without being linked to the youngest beautiful woman there.
“He wants to ditch this image once and for all and he is really bothered that this continues to follow him. Leo wants something like he had with Camila, something real.”
