It's worth a mention that Erin is one of several stunningly beautiful models and/or actresses seen on Leo's arm in recent months (think Blake Lively, Karlie Kloss and of course, ex-girlfriend Bar Refaeli. No doubt Bar knows Leonardo's mom, but did he take Blake home too?
And now, the burning question: Could Erin Heatherton finally be the woman Leo settles down with? Is this merely a passing fling, like so many other Leo conquests, or is this the real deal?
Apparently, Erin Heatherton and Leo are majorly into each other. She's already met DiCaprio's mom during a brunch on New Year's Day at the posh Four Seasons Hotel in L.A. Now the New York Post's Page Six reports that Leonardo DiCaprio's mother really seemed to enjoy her time with the 22-year-old Heatherton. The Post quotes a source as saying that "the meeting went well" and that both women "were seen laughing." Laughing about what, exactly? Did she break out the photo albums from Leo's younger days? Tell any funny family stories? Whatever happened, things went swimmingly well. It seems Ms. Heatherton made a great impression.
Whatever the case, the way to a man's heart is sometimes directly through his mother. In Leonardo DiCaprio's situation, this appears to be the case. And if mom approves, Erin might well be Leo's new official girlfriend.
