Leonardo DiCaprio injured while vacationing with 26 year-old girlfriend

The couple was enjoying a swim in the Mediterranean Sea when DiCaprio was stung by a jellyfish.

Photographers captured the moment as Leonardo searched for the sting wound on the back of his right thigh. Vittoria quickly came to his aid, tending to the wound.

The pair were seen a few moments later, with Leonardo wearing black swimming shorts and a blue towel draped over his upper body, while Vittoria stood beside him in a black bikini.

Leonardo's awkward smile and the folded side of his swimwear highlighted the sting incident.

The couple has been spending a month in Italy, enjoying the company of Leonardo's longtime friend Tobey Maguire and his girlfriend, model Babette Strijbos.

They are also joined by former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and model Neelam Gill.

Leonardo and Vittoria's relationship has been heating up since rumors of their romance surfaced earlier this year.

An insider revealed last September that the couple is getting to know each other on a deeper level, suggesting that their bond is more than just a fleeting fling.

The couple was first spotted together making out at a nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, fueling speculations about their relationship.
