Wait, is Leonardo DiCaprio dating *this* 'Love Island' villain?

She didn't find romance in the villa, but is she lucky in love now? Here's what we know...

Arabella Chi isn't the only bombshell on the beach in Formentera, Spain. 

The ex-Love Island contestant was spotted alongside none other than Leonardo DiCaprio, enjoying an afternoon at sea on Thursday, August 10. Given that we're still on the fence about his Gigi Hadid dating situation—are they on or not?!—we couldn't help but wonder à la Carrie Bradshaw if romance is blossoming. Let's see what the pap photos have to say, shall we?

Is Arabella Chi dating Leonardo DiCaprio?

Page Six was the first to spot the reality star and beloved actor together boating with friends, but according to sources, Arabella Chi and Leonardo DiCaprio are not an item. (At least not yet—perhaps we can manifest a friends-to-lovers situation.) 

The duo was joined by quite a few famous faces, including DiCaprio's close friend, Toby Maguire and British Vogue editor Edward Enninful—an eclectic and somewhat unexpected entourage. While the gentlemen donned shorts, tees, and baseball caps, Chi dressed things up with a barely-there leopard bikini and sarong, but we were particularly enamored by her chrome-colored Bottega Veneta Jodie leather mini bag.

After some time aboard the yacht, the crew took their adventures to a Mediterranean restaurant, Es Molí de Sal, known for its famous cuisine and gorgeous seaside backdrop. (Where was our invite? We would've gladly attended.) 

Chi starred in one of our favorite Love Island seasons (#5) and currently seems to be unattached. As far as Leo goes, we trust that he'll find his way with another bombshell if his connection with Chi is simply platonic.  

To satiate your curiosity, we also did a deep dive into other popular stars' love lives to see what they're up to romantically: here's the tea on Kit Connor's dating life, a look into whether or not Madelyn Cline's single, and what's brewing between Jeremy Allen White and Ashley Moore

As the popular Love Island phrase goes, we're "cracking on" with more dating updates, so stay tuned!
