Leonardo DiCaprio’s alleged model flame Eden Polani, 19, DELETES her Instagram

Leonardo DiCaprio‘s rumored 19-year-old love interest Eden Polani has deleted her Instagram account after coming under furious scrutiny over her alleged 29-year age gap romance with the actor, 48. 

The French Israeli model, who was seen jetting into New York alone on Tuesday, had – as of Wednesday morning – taken down her official Instagram account, just hours after a source close to DiCaprio spoke out to furiously deny that the pair are ‘dating’. 

Speaking to DailyMail.com, the insider slammed rumors of a relationship between the pair after they were pictured together at a music party in Los Angeles on January 31. 

While Eden has yet to address the speculation herself, she allowed her social media to do the talking for her when she suddenly deleted her Instagram account, not long after she shared an image from a New York hotel room – which she also removed shortly after posting. 

On Tuesday morning, she shared an image taken from what appears to be a New York City hotel on her Instagram Stories, tagging the location as ‘New York’ and writing: ‘Long time no see.’

The model has come under furious scrutiny over her alleged romance with the 48-year-old actor after the pair were spotted sitting together at an event in Los Angeles on January 31 

A source close to Leo spoke out to furiously deny he is dating Eden – and while she has yet to address the speculation, she did delete her Instagram account 

However, just over an hour after the photo was posted – amid the furious outrage that erupted on social media over her so-called romance with Leo – Eden had mysteriously removed the photo.

Eden was pictured touching down in the Big Apple on Tuesday, when she was seen making a solo arrival at JFK airport, sporting an effortless ‘model off duty’ look that included a $475 Celine baseball cap and a $3,800 Dior tote. 

The Paris-born model also sported a brown overcoat with white sweatpants and white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers as she wheeled her suitcase through the terminal, while carrying a Chanel handbag across her body.

On Tuesday, sources close to Leo hit back at claims that the pair were dating after they were seen next to each other at a party, though they did not comment on whether there had ever been any romantic connection between them. 

They said: ‘They were seated next to each other at a music-listening party. There were a number of people at that event.’ 

It comes in the wake of ongoing controversy around Leonardo’s dating habits; the Titanic star famously only dates women who are under the age of 25, and even split from his last serious girlfriend, Camila Morrone, weeks after she hit the milestone.

News that the Oscar winner may have gotten involved with someone less than half his age caused outrage on social media after he was pictured with Eden at Detroit-born singer Ebony Riley’s release party for her new EP. 

Seemingly missing from the event however was Leo’s current girlfriend Victoria Lamas, who at 23 is 25 years his junior and almost half his age.

What’s this? Polani posted this picture of New York on Tuesday after she was spotted with Leo, however she deleted it soon after, then removed her Instagram account altogether 

While sources close to Leo have denied that there is any long-term romance between him and Eden, the model seems to be acutely aware of the new-found attention she is receiving.

On Tuesday morning, she shared an image taken from what appears to be a New York City hotel on her Instagram Stories, tagging the location as ‘New York’ and writing: ‘Long time no see.’ 

However, just over an hour after the photo was posted – amid the furious outrage that erupted on social media over their so-called romance – Eden had mysteriously removed the photo. 

Eden was born in Paris to a French mother and an Israeli father and has been signed to several agencies, including IT Models, which focuses on boutique fashion, and Kult Models in Germany, among others. 

The young beauty was encouraged to get into modeling for several years, but never took it seriously until she was discovered by ITM Models, according to Glamour Bulgaria, where she was a cover model. 

The magazine described Eden as a fashion lover who loves to fit her own sense of style into new trends.

She also walked in Tel Aviv Fashion week in 2021 for its 10th Anniversary for Chen Bar Kalifa, who designed a clothing line around Israeli candy brand Milky. Kalifa is a student a Shenkar College, whose fashion students designs were featured on the runway.

Drama! The model’s age has been scrutinized by DiCaprio’s fans as the young woman is 19, with some noting she wasn’t even born when Titanic was released

Eden modeled designs by second, third, and fourth-year students. Tel Aviv Fashion Week debuted in 2011 by Motty Reif to revive fashion in Israel.

The chic teen largely does commercial work and has been in several perfume ad campaigns and even did a commercial for Fattal Botanica Hotel in Israel. 

Despite the model’s ever-growing portfolio, DiCaprio’s fans were quick to spot her young age and Twitter has gone wild with the news that her high school education was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Moreover, she was not even born when Titanic was released in 1997 – more than 25 years ago. 

One person observed: ‘Kate Winslet was 22 when she was nominated for an Oscar for Titanic. Which is three years older than Leonardo DiCaprio’s current girlfriend.’

‘Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend wasn’t even born when Titanic was released.’

Others wrote about how she was in school when Leo was already an established movie actor. 

‘Somebody needs to stop him’: Twitter was awash with comments about Leonardo’s penchant for young models 

‘DiCaprio’s girlfriend is so young she probably studied the Romeo and Juliet film he starred in when she was at school.’

‘Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend is so young that her high school education was interrupted by COVID-19, weirrrrrrrd.’

‘Someone please explain to me what a man nearing 50 has in common with *checks notes* a 19 year old?’ 

‘Somebody needs to stop leonardo dicaprio. It was funny 10 girlfriends ago.’ 

‘Leonardo DiCaprio is only worried about climate change because he wants to leave a better world for his girlfriends.’

The star has always hit headlines with his relationships, famously dating model Gisele Bündchen for five years starting when she was 18, to a five-year romance with Bar Refaeli that ended when she turned 25.
