Leonardo DiCaprio has long influenced the dating scene, often making headlines for his relationships with women significantly younger than himself. As the “Titanic” star turns 50, his dating habits have seemingly set a precedent among middle-aged celebrities. Most recently, our childhood superhero, Tobey Maguire, appears to be following in the actor’s footsteps.
49-year-old Tobey was spotted leaving a white party with 20-year-old half-Malaysian celebrity Lily Chee. A photo of the pair, showing the actor with his hand on the model’s waist, quickly surfaced on Twitter, sparking widespread speculation.
While such relationships are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, it’s hard not to question the dynamic. After a quick search, it is known that the “Spider-Man” star’s companion is only three years older than his daughter., much to everyone’s shock.
In response to the rumours, the actor’s ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, clarified on Instagram that her ex-husband was “kindly helping a friend to her car.” Responding to a user asking the ex-wife why her ex-husband was “banging someone 3 years older than your daughter“.
So, who is Lily Chee? This upcoming model has definitely piqued our curiosity due to her Malaysian heritage. Born in Atlanta to a Chinese-Malaysian father and businessman Max Chee, and an Irish-Scottish mother Rebecca Chee, the actress was discovered at the age of nine in a grocery store.
She later graduated from Columbia University and has since participated in fashion campaigns for prestigious brands like Valentino, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein. Her acting credits include a role as young Elektra in Marvel’s “Daredevil” series and appearances in Netflix’s medical drama “New Amsterdam.”
With 1.5 million Instagram followers and a strong presence on TikTok and YouTube, the influencer and her younger sisters, Mabel (18) and Nuala (15), are poised to become the next big sibling trio in the fashion world, potentially following in the footsteps of the Hadid or Jenner sisters.
While the rumours about the “Spider-Man” actor and the model remain unconfirmed, the possibility of such a romance seems all too plausible in today’s entertainment landscape.
