22-year-old Argentinian actress and model, Camila Morrone, has been linked to 44-year-old Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio for over a year now, but until recently hasn’t addressed their relationship in any meaningful way. The couple are exceptionally private about their relationship and are rarely photographed together. The model, who is active on social media, has never even shared an image of them together on her Instagram feed.

This all changed over the weekend when the actress posted a slideshow of beautiful photos of iconic Hollywood couple, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, with the caption: “A love like this”.

Bacall and Bogart famously met on the set of 1944’s To Have and Have Not when she was 19 and he was 45. Bogart was married to his third wife, actress Mayo Methot, at the time but that marriage ended quite soon after Bogart met Bacall. The To Have and Have Not co-stars then tied the knot in 1945, and stayed together until Bogart’s death in 1957 (the couple had two children together during their marriage). Morrone’s Bacall/Bogart photo montage, along with the romantic caption about a love like the iconic Hollywood couple is an unmistakable reference to her own relationship with DiCaprio.

The age gap is similar, with more than 20 years difference between Bacall and Bogart, and from all accounts, Bacall and Bogart’s relationship and marriage was very successful, with the age gap making no difference at all. Morrone clearly considers the same applies to her and DiCaprio, with their 22-year age gap not being relevant to their relationship.

However, Morrone addressing the age gap and indeed acknowledging her relationship in this way, ignited the internet with many Instagram users writing negative comments about the post. One user wrote “you only have a couple more years before he dumps you girl! Collect your bag”, while another wrote “Leo only cares about your body”. 

A number of social media users did post supportive comments and love heart emojis, but Morrone wasn’t okay with any of the negativity, and according to took to Instagram Stories to shut the haters down.

reports the 22-year-old said the following in a video message on her Instagram Story, “Good morning people and happy Friday. I just read some of the comments on my Instagram and…my God, people are so mean and full of anger with people that they know nothing about.” 

The publication reports she ended the video with an upbeat message about filling your life with positive interests and not wasting time on negativity, proving just how very mature this 22-year-old is: “I guess I just hope on this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hatred and place their time and interests elsewhere, because living without hatred feels pretty good.”
