Peter Andre, 50, defends Leonardo DiCaprio from criticism over ‘age-gap relationships’ after marrying Emily, 35

PETER Andre has spoken out against criticism over Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s large age gap relationships.

The Mysterious Girl singer, who celebrated the big 5-0 with his wife in February, stands by Leonardo’s decision to date women who are 20 years his junior as he claims age doesn’t matter.

Taking to his new! column he said: “Although she’s 28, 20 years his junior, you can’t help but admit that Leo looks awesome.”

He added: “As you all know, Emily and I have been together for nearly 11 years and have known each other for 13 years.”

Peter’s opinion comes on the back of reports that the Catch Me If You Can star had been on a number of dates and had sent flowers to Love Island host Maya Jama, after being introduced through a mutual friend.

However, eyebrows were raised due to the 20 year age gap as Leo is 48 years old and has a history of only dating younger women.

In his column Peter added: “Even though she [Emily] is younger than me, I don’t think age matters as we are so happy together!”

Earlier this month The Sun exclusively revealed that Leo and Maya had enjoyed a few dates in London during February as well as New York in March.

And in March the pair were spotted leaving Le Piaf club in Paris. A source told The Sun: “Maya and Leo are in regular contact and have been on a string of dates.

They added: “They have both recently come out of long-term relationships so neither of them are rushing into anything — they are having fun and seeing how it goes.”

Leo certainly has a type when it comes to dating women for which he has earned a reputation for.

His most recent ex girlfriend was model Victoria Lamas who was 23 at the time.

The Wolf of Wall Street star split from the Argentine actress Camila Morrone last year, just weeks after she celebrated her 25th birthday.
