Leonardo DiCaprio linked to Blake Lively?

Leonardo DiCaprio has been spotted on a series of possible romantic outings with Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively.

Just last week, it was reported that DiCaprio split from long-time girlfriend Bar Refaeli because the Inception star was not yet ready to get married.

A source has now told the New York Post's Page Six that DiCaprio met up with Lively earlier this week at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc on the French Riviera.

"She was wearing white and he was in a baseball cap," the insider claimed. "They walked around the grounds together. It looked like they were a couple."

The two stars - who are in France to attend the 64th Cannes Film Festival - were apparently introduced last November by DiCaprio's Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann.

Earlier today, snaps emerged online of the pair hugging at a party thrown on Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg's yacht.

A rep for DiCaprio declined to comment on the actor's private life, while Lively's spokesperson could not be reached.
