Leonardo DiCaprio has been criticised for his preference in younger women, amid rumours he is now dating someone who "could literally be his daughter".
The Hollywood star, 48, split up from his long-term girlfriend Camila Morrone last summer, a few months after she turned 25.
Since then, Leonardo has been linked to young models, with rumours circulating that he is now dating 19-year-old model Eden Polan, who is 29 years his junior.
Radio host Megyn Kelly has slammed the Titanic star as she discussed his age-gap romance, saying he will never find someone "who he can fall in deep love with."
"He is now dating a teenager, literally a teenager. He's in the news every week for how he won't date anybody past age 25. If he does, it makes news.

Megyn further hit out at Leonardo as she said his habit of dating younger women was "sad".
She added: "I feel like this guy from the rate of things is never going to know the joy of meeting somebody who he can fall in deep love with and build a family with.
"He's just going to keep banging teenagers for the rest of his life."

Megyn's comments come as a source close to Leonardo said there is "absolutely no truth" in the rumours that he is dating Eden.
The pair had been photographed sitting next to each other at the release party for Ebony Riley's new EP in Los Angles last month.
The insider told the New York Post that the pair were simply sat next to each other and that a zoomed out picture would have shown many other people surrounding them.
Leo's dating life has become the subject of many jokes, with Amy Schumer even mocking him at the Academy Awards last year.
She said: ''He's done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet… for his girlfriends."
