Actor Lorenzo Lamas isn’t upset about his 23-year-old daughter Victoria hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio, 48. 

“I know she likes him very much,” the actor told the New York Post after his daughter was spotted leaving a club with DiCaprio. “I think they met last month. I’m not sure of the circumstances, but that’s what she told me.”

“She’s very smitten,” Lamas continued. “I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday — just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts. And if it lasts for more than a typical holiday, great. But if not, then just guard your heart, you know? Because she’s very young.”

The former soap opera star made a joke about the future of their relationship, if there is one. “I just told her, you know, absolutely no transatlantic cruises with Leo. Anyway, I’m excited for her. I know that it’s been a while since she’s had a serious relationship … She’s got a big heart, and she tends to give it freely,” he said.

Lamas, 64, shares Victoria and two other daughters with his ex-wife, Playboy Playmate Shauna Sand. The actor has been married five times and has six children. He’s currently dating 37-year-old former model Kenna Scott, per Fox News.

DiCaprio has been making headlines after breaking up with actress Camila Morrone just as she turned 25, which inspired a lot of backlash since it seemed the actor refused to date any women older than 25.

Lamas followed up with another interview, saying his daughter isn’t exclusively dating DiCaprio or in any kind of serious relationship.  

The actor said his daughter is “friends” with the “Titanic” star and they were together in a “social environment.”

“They were seen one time in West Hollywood at a club,” Lamas explained. “I mean, that is not dating.”

“Yeah, smitten, but they’re not dating,” he continued. “She’s fond of him, obviously. But, they’re not dating, and she does not want that out there because that would be really bad. It’d be embarrassing for her if he should happen to read something that said that they’re dating and they’re not.”

“They’re just friends, but she is smitten, of course,” he went on. “And that was my cautionary tale to her: Just take one step at a time. But as of now, they’re not an item. They’re not exclusive to each other.”
