14 DAY TRIAL // Indeed, nothing can keep them apart: though working on separate continents for the time being, lovebirds Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively are determined to make it work. She’s just returned from a trip to Australia, where he’s shooting “The Great Gatsby.”
Leo and Blake reportedly started dating sometime in May, shortly after he broke up from longtime girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, but some voices claim they were together long before the split.
Either way, since then, Blake and Leo have been nearly inseparable, traveling the world together and enjoying their first months as a couple.
Consequently, it was only to be expected for Blake to want to spend her 24th birthday with the new man in her life and, as such, to fly all the way to Australia to be with him, as Us Weekly also points out.
“Lively, who turned 24 last Thursday, visited her man, 36, who’s currently shooting The Great Gatsby in Sydney,” the mag says.
“The twosome (whose romance began in late spring with a whirlwind tour of Europe’s poshest hotspots) were reportedly spotted having a romantic dinner Saturday night at Sydney hotspot Aria – with a prime view overlooking Sydney’s famed harbor,” the publication adds.
E! News confirms that Blake was with Leo in Australia over the weekend – and even offers a bit more details about the romantic weekend they spent together.
For instance, they visited the Featherdale Wildlife Park, with the manager of the park saying that the two were not diva-like and very interested in the animals they were shown.
“They both loved the koalas and spent quite a bit of time with Austin, one of our younger koalas. Both Leo and Blake were friendly and inquisitive about the animals,” the manager says.
“The pair seemed really happy in each other’s company and there was no diva-like behavior from either of them I think Blake especially enjoyed meeting the dingoes, and the baby wombat was a big hit, too. [Leo] asked about our endangered animals, and we made sure to feed the Tasmanian devil while they were there,” he adds.
