Days after sparking dating rumors with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Victoria Lamas’ father, Lorenzo Lamas, has something to say in his daughter’s defense. The 23-year-old actress and the actor’s supposed affair first made headlines last week after the duo was spotted together in West Hollywood.

Although the two never confirmed their affair, the dating speculations have taken a life of their own this past week, making the actress the subject of media scrutiny. Unwilling to take these headlines sitting down, Victoria’s dad addressed them in a recent interview, clearing the air for good.

Victoria Lamas’ Father Reveals Actress is Not Dating Leonardo DiCaprio

In an interview with the New York Post, Victoria Lamas’ father admitted his daughter liked the Oscar-winning actor a lot and has been smitten by him since their meeting a month ago. However, the youngster has tried keeping a leash on her affection. Lorenzo revealed that despite her fondness for Leonardo, and the ongoing rumors, Victoria and the actor are, in fact, not a couple. He divulged:

Lorenzo Gave His Daughter Million-Dollar Advice

Despite his conviction that Victoria Lamas and Leonardo DiCaprio are not dating, Lorenzo still saw fit to offer his daughter priceless advice. He hoped the dating advice would help the young actress navigate the uncertainties of dating a public figure like the Titanic star with a daring reputation. The 64-year-old divulged:

Before the dating rumors went wild, Leonardo DiCaprio had a thing with 27-year-old model Gigi Hadid. The two became linked after the actor’s four-year relationship with model Camila Marrone ended in August. For months, the 48-year-old’s affair with Gigi made headlines.

However, the recent sightings of Leonardo and Lorenzo’s daughter leaving a West Hollywood restaurant separately and entering a car together suggest the onset of another high-profile romance for the actor. But first off, he has Victoria Lamas’ father and his million-dollar take on dating to contend with.
