Leonardo DiCaprio has split with his supermodel girlfriend Erin Heatherton after nearly a year of dating because he “is not ready to settle down,” sources exclusively tell Page Six.
We are told the actor, who is currently filming “The Wolf of Wall Street” in Manhattan with Martin Scorcese, broke things off with the blond Victoria’s Secret beauty last week.
One source told us, “Erin wanted things to get more serious between them, but Leo is not ready to settle down.
“While it would seem amazing that he wouldn’t want to settle down with one of the world’s most beautiful women, Leo leads a charmed life.”
Leo and Erin started dating in December 2011, and some of his friends thought she would be ‘the one’. The source added, “A few months back it seemed like he was really into Erin. She’s smart, beautiful and, importantly, got on with his mom.” Another source continued, “They are still friends. the timing just wasn’t right for them. They still care about each other and remain friends. “
Since the split, Leo has been busy partying in New York, despite the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. He was spotted wearing a mask, surrounded by model types at a Halloween bash at the Top of the Standard before the storm hit last Saturday.
It is believed Leo was with his co-star Jonah Hill at the Four Seasons Hotel as Sandy hit earlier this week. And on Wednesday, he arrived — wearing the same mask — at yet another Halloween bash with a gaggle of 15 girls.
Meanwhile Erin, who was evacuated from her downtown apartment ahead of Sandy, has been spending time with her model pal Lily Aldridge, and her husband Caleb Followill, at an uptown hotel.
Then, on Wednesday, she celebrated Halloween on a “girls night” at Lavo with Aldridge, and fellow Victoria’s Secret models Doutzen Kroes and Candice Swanepoel.
A rep for DiCaprio declined to comment.
