The date seemed like an excellent choice, as Leo apparently started 2016 off a single man -- he reportedly broke up with his girlfriend, model Kelly Rohrbach, a few months ago.

Leo has been receiving plenty of accolades for his raw, jaw-dropping turn in The Revenant, which he received a Best Actor nod for at the Golden Globes.
But there was a different nominee on Leo's mind -- Kate Winslet. "She's my favorite actress in the industry," he told ET of his Titanic co-star, who ended up winning the first statue of the night, the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the film, Steve Jobs.
Winslet returned the kind words when she walked the red carpet, adding that she hopes Leo scores his third Globe tonight.
"I'm very excited for him. It could be him," she told ET of her longtime friend. "He's very cool. He's a pro. We've been through a lot together -- we've grown up."
