Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid 'taking it slow' as they are spotted together at party

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid set tongues wagging on Monday after the pair were photographed cosying up together at a friend's bash in New York City.

Titanic star Leo, 47, who has famously never publicly dated a woman over 25 in the past, appears to have turned over a new leaf with model and mother-of-one Gigi already at the grand old age of 27.

In pictures obtained by MailOnline, the pair could be seen getting close at the Manhattan party, which was hosted by Leo's friends Richie Akiva and Darren Dzienciol.

Leo wore a black short-sleeved shirt and matching New York Yankees baseball cap, with Gigi opting for a white crop-top and ripped baggy jeans.

In one of several shots Leo could be seen placing his hands on Gigi's shoulders, while the pair were spotted on a couple of occasions leaning over a table to whisper into each others' ears.

A source close to the couple told Page Six that whilst they are now dating, they are still 'taking it slow' and are hanging out both as a pair and in groups.

They continued: "[DiCaprio] is not someone who is in-and-out of relationships. He doesn't jump around hooking up. They are taking it slow."

Just last week, meanwhile, another publication made similar claims but mentioned that Gigi - who shares a child with former One Direction star Zayn Malik - hasn't shown any interest.

"Leo does have his sights set on Gigi, but she hasn’t shown an interest," a source told Us Weekly.

"They’re friends, but she doesn’t want to be romantic with [him] right now."

Leo split suddenly from 25-year old Camila Morrone this summer, meanwhile, after four years together.

Before the breakup, she hit back at questions about the couple's 22-year age gap after years of being trolled.

"There are so many relationships in Hollywood, and in the history of the world, where people have large age gaps," she said.

"I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date."

Mirror have contacted Leonardo and Gigi's representatives for comment.
