Teyana Taylor, 33, has been linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, more than once this year.

First he was seen with his hand on her bottom when filming their Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Then the two were photographed hugging at an Oscar party.

But on Friday the 33-year-old actress broke her silence on any talk of a romance.

While she did gush that he is 'the best' and always 'cheerleads' those he works with, she also threw cold water on the idea of any heat between them.

Taylor told E! News on Friday she was just trying to help the Oscar-winner out on set.

'Leo wore extensions for the movie and they were hurting him,' Teyana shared with E! News. 'I was literally helping him with his bun.'

The star, seen at Coachella, said did gush that he is 'the best' and always 'cheerleads' those he works with, she also threw cold water on the idea of any heat between them. Taylor told E! News on Friday she was just trying to help the Oscar-winner out on set

She added, 'And if you've seen the end of the video, I said something about cornbread because my chef was cooking for the whole cast. We gotta make sure his bun is right. We gotta make sure he's eating good.'

She then added that Leo 'is like the best. He will cheerlead for you all the way through.'

The Oscar winner is dating 25-year-old Vittoria Ceretti.

In March he was seen wrapping an arm around Taylor, who split from husband Iman Shumpert in November 2023, at a WME pre Oscar event.

Before that DiCaprio was seen tapping Taylor on the backside as they filmed the new Paul Thomas Anderson film in January.

The Paul Thomas Anderson film, which is currently under the working title BC Project, is reportedly a modern adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland.

Published in 1990, Vineland unfolds in 1984 California against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan's re-election. 

The BC Project seeks to contemporize the narrative, placing it in the current era amidst the charged political atmosphere of Donald Trump, according to Deadline. 

The movie 'is a contemporary setting and it is the most commercial one Anderson has attempted, with commensurate budget,' per the outlet. 

Leonardo and Teyana will reportedly star alongside both Sean Penn and Regina Hall in the movie, with Anderson having written the script as well as directing the project.

The Oscar winner is dating 25-year-old Vittoria Ceretti and Teyana split from husband Iman Shumpert in November 2023

Leonardo and Vittoria were first romantically linked last year in August 2023 when they were spotted spending time together on an ice cream date in Santa Barbara (Vittoria pictured March 10 at the Vanity Fair Oscar party)

Leonardo and Vittoria were first romantically linked last year in August 2023 when they were spotted spending time together on an ice cream date in Santa Barbara. 

Shortly after, sources informed Page Six that the pair had, 'been spending quite a bit of time together over the past few months' and that they were 'enjoying getting to know one another on a deeper level.'

And late last year in November, a separate insider revealed to DailyMail.com that the Hollywood actor was 'crazy about' Vittoria and added he was dating the beauty exclusively.

'Leo is crazy about Vittoria and he finds every aspect of her intriguing. He likes where this is going and he is only seeing her right now. She is very intelligent and has all of the qualities that he looks for in a partner.'

The source also explained that DiCaprio and Ceretti were able to bond over their passion for environmental causes.

'This gives them so much to talk about,' the insider continued. 'She was an environmentalist before meeting Leo, so it's not like she met him and suddenly she cares about the earth.'

'Vittoria is successful and beyond financially independent. She is obviously stunning and he finds her incredible. But for now, they are intent on keeping much of their romance private.'

And earlier this month, the Titanic star was seen heading on a family vacation with Vittoria and his close pal and fellow actor, Tobey Maguire.
