Kat Torres, whose real name is Katiuscia Torres Soares, has a past connection with Leonardo DiCaprio. However, she has remained tight-lipped about their relationship, citing a mutual agreement to keep their romance private. “I worry about what he will think about me talking to you. We have a pact that nothing can ever be said about our relationship,” Torres told Aceshowbiz. She explained that in Europe, they were often seen together in public, so there was less need to discuss their relationship with the media. “He doesn’t like being photographed and barely goes out walking once people have realised it’s him,” she noted.
Torres reflected fondly on their time together, mentioning that they fell in love after meeting at the Cannes International Film Festival. Despite this glamorous connection, her recent criminal activities have cast a dark shadow over her past.
