Leonardo DiCaprio was joined by Neelam Gill on Friday as they relaxed on a yacht with a group of friends in Porto Cervo, Sardinia.

The movie star, 48, and the model, 28, have been linked for months and have been spotted at various events together.

The model squashed romance rumours on Friday, penning on Instagram: ‘Just to clear up any rumours… I am not Leonardo DiCaprio’s new flame.

‘In fact I am in a committed relationship with his good friend, and have been for many months now.

‘The only reason we have been pictured in the same vicinity is because I have been there with my partner. I hope this clears up all false stories.’

A source told MailOnline Neelam is dating Leo’s best friend and confirmed: ‘They are not together and have never been’.

Neelam looked sensational as she stepped out onto the deck of the boat in a skimpy blue patterned bikini.

Her toned figure was on full display in the tiny two-piece as she soaked in the sunshine.

She soon slipped into an open blue button-up shirt and hid her eyes behind a pair of black sunglasses.

Neelam swept her raven tresses up into a messy bun secured with a claw clip while Leo sat in the shade.

He was seen sitting shirtless while chatting to Neelam and to a group of friends as they sat inside drinking.

Neelam later went for a dip in the sea to cool down and once again flaunted her incredible physique.

Their Italian trip comes after the Oscar winner attended Sir Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday party in London on Wednesday.

He made a surprise appearance at the star-studded party alongside the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Stella McCartney and Jerry Hall.

Neelam is a model from Coventry, who has racked up an array of achievements since becoming the first model of Indian descent to be cast in a Burberry campaign nearly a decade ago.

Earlier this month, Leo was spotted partying with Neelam and Maya Jama, 28, in London.

Leo was attending the Vogue Summer party at the Chiltern Firehouse, where Maya – the face of Vogue’s August edition – and Neelam were seen putting on sizzling displays in floor-sweeping gowns.

In pictures shared by fellow partygoers, Leonardo looked to be having a wonderful time as he lived it up with a slew of the movers and shakers, with insiders telling MailOnline he placed himself by the DJ booth amid the festivities.

Far from just being surrounded by his romantic interests, Leo’s mother Irmelin Indenbirken was also in attendance and was seen sharing a laugh with her son.

Neelam was also seen spending time on Leo’s mega-yacht with a group of friends on the Amalfi Coast and has been spotted at many events which Leo was also attending, including at Cannes and nights out at Chiltern Firehouse.

The pair were also spotted at dinner in Paris with Tobey Maguire last month, who is believed to be single and has been linked to a string of beauties lately.

Meanwhile, Maya shut down Leonardo dating rumours in April after she was seen wearing a ‘Leo’ necklace yet.

She tweeted: ‘I’ve been minding my business on holiday & said I wouldn’t respond/pay attention to any of the silly stories anymore but you need to stop now..

‘That is literally my star sign. We are not dating. Move on please.’

Amid a swirl of various romance rumours, Leonardo is reportedly still in a ‘friendly, no-strings’ relationship with another model, Gigi Hadid.

‘[They] travel so often so it’s best for them to keep their relationship open and fluid. Neither one of them wants to settle down at the moment,’ a source claimed to Us Weekly in May.

An insider previously told the outlet that he is drawn to the mother-of-one’s ‘very cultured and educated take on life’.
