Meet childless Leonardo DiCaprio's chosen brood: Inside Uncle Leo's ultra-close bond with best pal Tobey Maguire's kids - as actor leaves fans swooning by taking niece Normandie on a lavish shopping trip
- Leo, 49, always takes time out of his busy schedule to spend time with his niece
- He is also extremely close with the Spider-Man actor's two kids Ruby and Otis
- In fact, it was once said that Leo was like a 'second father' to them
Leonardo DiCaprio may not have any children, but the actor is extremely close with stepbrother Adam Farrar's daughter and best friend Tobey Maguire's two kids.
The Titanic alum, 49, who was most recently linked to model Vittoria Ceretti but is now reportedly single, has yet to start a family of his own, but he has made it clear that family is a priority in his life throughout his decades-long career.
He always takes time out of his busy schedule to spend time with his 17-year-old niece, Normandie, as well as Tobey's daughter Ruby, 17, and son Otis, 15, who reportedly call him 'Uncle Leo.'
Over the years, the movie star has been spotted hanging out with the Spider-Man actor's children on numerous occasions.
In fact, it was once said that Leo was like a 'second father' to them, with a source telling People back in 2016 that Leo is 'a natural' with little Ruby and Otis.

'He cuts up their food, [tags along for] family friendly activities,' the insider said. 'They will visit the beach, or grab Sunday brunch. Leo is great with Ruby and Otis.'
In 2014, paparazzi caught Leo sharing a tender moment with then-seven-year-old Ruby while they were out in LA together; he held her hand before picking her up and carrying her to the car.
In addition, Leo was spotted attending Ruby's school production of Beauty And The Beast in 2017.
Leo has also jetted off on vacation with Tobey and his kids, as they were all spotted riding on jet skis together in Saint-Tropez in July 2022.
In June 2023, photos emerged of Leo, Tobey, and his two kids out and about in Paris together, and two months later, the group visited the Boboli Gardens in Florence together.
Tobey shares his two kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, who he was married to from 2007 until 2016.
Leo and Tobey have been close for more than three decades, meeting back in the '80s when they both auditioned for the same role.
The star also has an immensely strong bond with his niece Normandie, who was notoriously 'abducted' at the age of six by her own father.

Much like Tobey's kids, the youngster is often photographed by his side around Hollywood and has traveled the globe with him on numerous occasions, including a few of the trips that he took with Tobey's family.
Just this weekend, Leo was spotted taking the 17-year-old on a lavish shopping spree in Beverly Hills.
The duo visited various upscale boutiques, including Tiffany & Co. and Prada, and she ended the trip with two enormous shopping bags draped over her shoulder.
Normandie's parents, Leo's stepbrother Adam and Charity Moore, were not present on the outing.
Back in 2014, Normandie was propelled into the spotlight after it was revealed that her dad had been arrested for 'kidnapping' her.
At the time, both Adam and Charity were separately arrested on drug charges so Normandie was ruled as a dependent of the court in California.
But Adam then took her to Texas illegally, before he was found and charged with 'concealing' his daughter, then six, in another state.
Normandie was quickly whisked back to California, where she was placed in the care of her grandfather, Leo's father George DiCaprio.
Leo and his stepbrother, Adam, used to be extremely close and were seen attending a number of Los Angeles Lakers games together early on in his career.
It is widely reported that Leo was inspired to go into acting after he saw his stepbrother carve a career for himself in commercials, movies and TV in the 1980s.

Since 2010, Adam has been in and out of courts on charges of harassment, possession of controlled substances, driving without a license and domestic violence.
After the events in 2014, sources told RadarOnline that he and Leo 'have had zero contact in recent years and do not get along.'
But Leo's estranged relationship with Adam has certainly not stopped him from seeing Normandie.
As for whether or not the actor wants his own kids, he told Rolling Stone in 2016, 'If it happens, it happens.
'I'd prefer not to get into specifics about it, just because then it becomes something that is misquoted.
'But yeah. I don't know. To articulate how I feel about it is just gonna be misunderstood.'
