‘He’ll keep banging teenagers’: Megyn Kelly blasts ‘bloated’ Leonardo DiCaprio for dating 19-year-old model Eden Polani
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, has come under fire from conservative commentator Megyn Kelly after the actor was linked to 19-year-old Israeli model Eden Polani. In a rant on her podcast, 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' the former Fox News anchor, 52, labeled Leo "bloated" and criticized his propensity for dating younger women.
"He is now dating a teenager, literally a teenager," she fumed. "He's just going to keep banging teenagers [for] the rest of his life. He's in the news every week for how he won't date anybody past age 25. If he does, it makes news… And now he's actually gone down to a teenager!"

'He's got the big, bloated look'
Megyn went further, saying the Titanic actor was "aging worse than Madonna" and criticized his appearance. "He is bloated - you could tell this guy partied a little bit too much," she sniped. "He's got the big, bloated look. Step away from the booze."
Kelly spared Polani any venom, saying: “She’s gorgeous. Okay, great. She’s a model, of course. They all are.” However, she deemed it "sad" that DiCaprio was willing to stick with much younger women. “I feel like this guy from the rate of things is never going to know the joy of meeting somebody who he can fall in deep love with and build a family with,” Kelly said. “It doesn’t strike me as something to emulate.”
DiCaprio was spotted with Eden Polani at a party
He was seen with Eden at the release party for Detroit-born singer Ebony Riley's new EP, which sparked outrage on social media when it was revealed the Oscar winner might have been involved with someone half his age or younger.

Insiders have refuted rumors that Leo is dating Eden, despite the public uproar surrounding the alleged 29-year age-gap romance. Unable to remark on whether there had ever been a romantic relationship, one insider rebuffed accusations that they were dating as per Daily Mail. "They were seated next to each other at a music-listening party. There were a number of people at that event," they said.
The news follows the ongoing debate about Leonardo's dating practices. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' actor is infamous for exclusively dating women under the age of 25, and he even broke up with his most recent significant other, Camila Morrone, only weeks after she reached that age. DiCaprio has been linked to a number of actresses and models, including Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli, Nina Agdal, and Camila Morrone. They all dated the actor when they were all in their early to mid-20s.
