Leo secretly ties the knot

CAMILA BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN LEO, HE’S MORE RELAXED AND CONTENT

‘It’s just going to happen when it happens,’ Leo once said of marriage

romances with Gisele and model Bar Refaeli both sparked wedding rumours in the early 2000s – but he just wasn’t ready to take the plunge.

‘It was Brad [Pitt] who encouraged Leo to take a leap of faith and commit to Camila,’ shares the insider. ‘Brad told him, “You love her, right? You want to spend the rest of your life with her, right? Then marry her, because you’re not getting any younger!”’

Leo took Brad’s advice. ‘He made a few calls, then hopped on a private jet with Camila and flew to the Bahamas, where he asked her to be his wife right then and there. Camila happily accepted,’ says the insider, adding that the actress and model was shocked to learn Leo had secretly flown in their family and close friends, like Brad and fellow A-listers Kate Winslet, Tobey Maguire and Jonah Hill – and hired an event planner to give her the $6 million wedding of her dreams. ‘After that, Leo and Camila made their way to the beach, where they exchanged heartfelt handwritten vows. In hers, Camila promised to always support him. Leo vowed to love Camila forever – and to never cheat,’ the insider continues. ‘It was so romantic.’

Finally, the couple celebrated their love at a lavish reception featuring the world’s best bongo players, a tropical buffet and stunning table arrangements made with

THE BEST MAN! A wedding guest said Brad’s speech was emotional and heartfelt. ‘He was crying as he told everyone how happy he was his friend finally found The One.’ Leo and Brad’s bromance has been going strong since they first met in 1995 flowers and plants native to the island. ‘Leo and Camila had a huge wedding cake they cut in front of everyone,’ spills the insider. ‘There was also lots of dancing and toasts to the beautiful bride and groom.’

But the most memorable part of the evening was Brad’s touching best man speech. ‘He told everyone how happy he was to see Leo with such a wonderful woman – one who’s made him a better man,’ shares the insider. ‘Brad then thanked Leo for being such a good friend to him over the years and promised to always be there for him and his bride.’ By the end of the Oscar winner’s speech, ‘there wasn’t a dry eye in the house’. MEANT TO BE While Camila and Leo’s 23-year age gap initially raised some eyebrows, friends now have no doubt they’re true soulmates. ‘Camila brings out the best in Leo. When he’s around her, he’s much more relaxed and content,’ says the insider, noting that the pair chose not to get a prenup. ‘Friends support the decision because they know their love is real. They’re the perfect couple. They have so much in common and are always on the same page about things.’ Including parenthood. ‘Camila may be young, but she can’t wait to be a mum and Leo’s fully ready to be a father. In fact, he thinks he’s going to be good at it,’ shares the insider, adding that the newlyweds don’t plan to stop at just one baby. ‘Leo’s said he can see himself with three or four kids in the future! But he has no problem settling with whatever Camila wants.’ As they say, ‘Happy wife, happy life!’ Congrats, guys!
