Their Relationship

As their relationship progressed, Heatherton and DiCaprio navigated the challenges his demanding movie projects and their respective careers posed. Finding the middle ground in any relationship isn’t easy, but this proved especially difficult for the couple. As a result, the couple decided to split up.

Despite their split, announced amicably in 2012, Heatherton spoke warmly of DiCaprio in subsequent interviews, emphasizing their continued friendship. She praised him as “a wonderful person” and maintained a respectful admiration for him as both a former partner and a close friend.
