At the 2023 Met Gala, Jared Leto captured attention by dressing up as Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette. This wasn’t Leto’s first encounter with the renowned designer; he is set to portray Lagerfeld in an upcoming biopic, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Leto had previously charmed Lagerfeld, who, according to WWD, responded warmly when Leto expressed his desire to play him in a film, saying, “Only you, darling, only you.”
Leto’s charisma has drawn the interest of numerous women throughout the years. However, he dated Cameron Diaz from 1999 to 2003, during which there were rumors of an engagement.

Following their breakup, Diaz found love with Justin Timberlake, Paul Sculfor, and Alex Rodriguez, finally marrying Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden in 2015.
The infamous photograph of Leto and Scarlett Johansson captures a moment when she attempted to kiss him while he was preoccupied with his phone; however, many of his past relationships are lesser-known.
From Ashley Olsen and Lindsay Lohan to Paris Hilton and Katy Perry, Leto’s romantic history reflects a variety of relationships. If you’re curious about Leto’s current romantic status, he was linked to Russian model Valery Kaufman for several years, though reports indicate their relationship ended in September 2022. Presently, he seems to be seeing model Beauty (née Thet Thinn).
Despite being discreet about his personal life, Leto is open about his admiration for women. In a 2014 interview with Australia’s “The Kyle and Jackie O Show,” he remarked, “I like it all, man, you know, isn’t that the problem? I just like it all.”
He also expressed appreciation for women’s unique qualities. By 2016, Leto revealed to Rolling Stone that he still felt bewildered by women, stating, “You know what I have learned about women? I know absolutely nothing about women.”
Here’s a closer look at Leto’s dating history, featuring serious relationships alongside a few rumored flings.
Soleil Moon Frye
Back in 1991, Leto attended the premiere of Vanilla Ice’s movie “Cool as Ice” with Soleil Moon Frye, known for her role as Punky Brewster. Reports suggest they may have dated that year.
Cameron Diaz
The relationship between Leto and Cameron Diaz spanned from 1999 to 2003, according to Us Weekly, with speculation about an engagement. After they parted ways, Diaz dated Justin Timberlake, Paul Sculfor, and Alex Rodriguez before marrying Benji Madden in a surprise ceremony in 2015.
Scarlett Johansson
In 2004, Leto began a romance with Scarlett Johansson, and they were often seen together in New York City and Los Angeles. Although they broke up a year later, they rekindled their connection at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, where they were photographed holding hands and taking selfies, as reported by The Daily Mail.
During a 2016 interview with Cosmopolitan, Johansson reflected on a previous relationship without naming the ex, but her description could easily point to Leto.
She remarked on the challenges of being drawn to someone who was perpetually unavailable and emphasized the importance of recognizing when a relationship is detrimental. Following this, Johansson has since married “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost in October 2020.
Ashley Olsen
Leto’s connection with Ashley Olsen appeared to fluctuate between friendship and romance over the years. They were first spotted together in 2005 but rekindled their relationship in 2008 at the Art of Elysium Gala, where they were seen holding hands.
An eyewitness reported that they looked like a couple, although sources close to Olsen insisted they were just friends. In 2011, the two reportedly shared a flirtatious meal at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills.
Lindsay Lohan
The link between Leto and Lindsay Lohan emerged during their collaboration on the biopic “Chapter 27.” Leto famously gained 50 pounds for his role as John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman.
The film was released in 2007, and Leto revealed in an MTV interview that he didn’t interact with Lohan or anyone else during filming. Lohan later married Bader Shammas in July 2022.
Paris Hilton
In 2008, rumors circulated about Leto’s involvement with heiress Paris Hilton after a photo surfaced of them kissing at a party during the Sundance Film Festival. Their relationship, however, didn’t seem to develop further, and Hilton has since moved on with Carter Reum.
Lydia Hearst
The connection between Leto and Lydia Hearst, an actress, model, and heiress, began in 2008. They were spotted together in New York City, sparking rumors about their relationship.
They appeared to maintain a friendship, as evidenced by a selfie Leto shared on his website in 2011, captioned “Me + my friend Lydia Hearst.” Hearst is now married to Chris Hardwick, the host of “@Midnight” and “The Talking Dead.”
Isabel Lucas
In 2009, Leto was seen spending time with Australian actress Isabel Lucas, who had previously been linked to Shia LaBeouf and Adrien Brody. Multiple reports indicated that Leto and Lucas were romantically involved.
Nina Senicar
Reports of Leto’s romance with Serbian model Nina Senicar emerged after the two were spotted enjoying drinks together in Milan in July 2011.
Katharina Damm
Leto was also linked to Danish model and actress Katharina Damm. They were seen getting cozy on the beach in St. Tropez in 2011, just weeks after his outing with Nina Senicar.
However, their connection appeared to fade after they were observed arguing at a New York Fashion Week party that September, according to the New York Daily News.
Chloe Bartoli
Leto reportedly began dating his wardrobe stylist, Chloe Bartoli, around 2013. Their friendship seemed to blossom into something more, as Bartoli was seen with Leto shortly after he won his Oscar in 2014.
In 2018, their relationship sparked dating rumors again when Bartoli shared a photo of the two together in the desert. Interestingly, Bartoli previously dated Scott Disick, who made headlines when they were spotted together in the South of France, allegedly leading to the end of Disick’s relationship with Kourtney Kardashian in July 2015.
Lupita Nyong’o
During the 2014 award season, Leto’s connection with Lupita Nyong’o drew attention after they were seen chatting at the Critics’ Choice Awards.
Speculation about a possible romantic relationship began circulating, especially after Leto referred to Nyong’o as his “future ex-wife” during an acceptance speech at the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards.
Miley Cyrus
Reports from February 2014 suggested that Leto and Miley Cyrus were romantically involved. Sources indicated that Cyrus spent the night at his home, highlighting their shared interests in art and music, and noting their comfort with nudity.
Katy Perry
Following her split from John Mayer in February 2014, Katy Perry was rumored to have hooked up with several famous faces, including Leto. Various reports suggested they shared a connection at Coachella that April.
Regardless of the nature of their relationship, Perry referred to Leto as “one of my best friends” in a 2017 interview, emphasizing the supportive bond they share the highs and lows of their careers. Perry eventually married Orlando Bloom, whom she became engaged to in 2019.
Valery Kaufman
In June 2015, Leto’s romantic involvement with Russian model Valery Kaufman was reported by People. The couple was seen together in New York City while Leto was filming “Suicide Squad.”
Although neither party’s representatives commented on the relationship, Leto was absent from Kaufman’s appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show that November.
