Leonardo DiCaprio Dating a Climate Scientist? The Internet Thinks So

Hollywood’s environmentalist heartthrob might have found a like-minded partner.

Leonardo DiCaprio has never been a stranger to media headlines, but his latest rumored romance has taken an unexpectedly cerebral turn. According to recent reports and internet sleuths, the Academy Award-winning actor is allegedly dating Dr. Helena Rousseau, a 29-year-old climate scientist and Oxford fellow known for her cutting-edge work in environmental policy and renewable energy modeling.

Whispers began circulating when DiCaprio and Rousseau were spotted attending a UN Climate Change side event in Geneva. Though the event was filled with politicians, academics, and activists, all eyes were on the enigmatic pair. Attendees noted the two seemed particularly engaged in conversation, later exiting the venue together for what appeared to be a private dinner at a Michelin-starred eco-conscious restaurant.

While DiCaprio, 50, has long been a vocal advocate for environmental causes—founding the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and producing several documentaries on climate change—this potential relationship seems like a natural alignment of passion and purpose. Rousseau, who has published papers on carbon pricing and serves as an advisor to multiple green start-ups, has also been increasingly visible on social media, with followers pointing out subtle clues: matching sunglasses seen in recent Instagram stories, overlapping travel dates, and eco-activism crossovers.
