Earlier on July 13, Leo was seen partying in London with two of his rumored flames, Maya Jama and Neelam Gill, both 28 years old.

There have been speculations about Leo's romantic connections with both Maya and Neelam in the past. In April, Maya was linked to the actor when she was seen wearing a necklace with the name "Leo," though she denied any romantic involvement. Meanwhile, Neelam sparked rumors when she was spotted on Leo's luxurious $150 million yacht during their time on the Amalfi Coast.
