Blake Lively & Leonardo DiCaprio to 'remain friends' after split

The Hollywood pair have parted on good terms, according to insiders

Hollywood’s hottest new couple Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have split, according to reports.

It’s thought the pair called time on their five-month relationship earlier this month, with a rep for the pair confirming the break-up, but adding Blake and Leo will ‘remain friends.’

The split comes less than two months after Gossip Girl Blake jetted all the way to Australia – where Leo is filming new flick The Great Gatsby – to celebrate her 24th birthday with him.

And it seems the break-up will a come as a surprise to friends, who tipped the pair to 'get engaged in six months' during the midst of their whirlwind romance in June.

'[I have] never seen him like this with a girl.' one friend told Us Weekly at the time, adding that the ‘smitten’ pair had been holed in up Leo’s LA mansion.

'She spent the whole time baking... Leo's never dated a girl who can cook. And he's smitten!' they said.

Blake and Leo first fuelled romance rumours earlier this month when they met for a catch-up onboard a glittering yacht at famous film festival Cannes.

The super-cute couple were then spied holding hands on a romantic Italian outing and cosying up during a day trip to Carmel, with some saying Leo had been pulling out all the stops to impress his new leading lady.
