'They aren't dating but are very close and they have given each other a lot of advice recently,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

The insider explained that Leonardo has also become a mentor of sorts to the singer-turned-actress, who plays the lead in the new Dionne Warwick biopic.
'Teyana is transitioning into being a major Hollywood star and she appreciates the help Leo has given her navigate the space,' they continued. 'They really get along and have spent some time together recently.'
Teyana and Iman battled it out in court for months after it was confirmed in September 2023 that they had called time on their seven-year marriage.
A month later, Teyana shared a statement which read: 'I mind my business, don't bother nobody & y'all know I've never played about my children, family & our privacy. I have not spoken on this private matter to any media outlets or blogs etc.
'So everyone claiming "Teyana said" didn't get any statements directly from ME. These statements were taken from private court documents that were leaked to the public. It is very heartbreaking that someone would take out the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see.
'However, protecting my family is one thing I've ALWAYS done & for my children I will continue to do so. Please if y'all love y'all play nieces Junie & Rue like y'all have shown, please allow my self & my family some privacy to resolve this matter in peace, Love y'all.'

The source explained: 'Leo has also been supporting Teyana as she deals with the fallout from her messy breakup from Iman' (pictured in 2022)
Despite her hopes to keep things amicable, the pair were soon caught up in a legal back and sensa69 forth over child support payments - with Iman saying he is comfortable with paying $8,000 a month for their children, Junie, eight, and Rue, three.
In January the Titanic heartthrob was pictured tapping Teyana on the backside as they filmed their new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, which also stars Regina Hall, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro.
Two months later, DiCaprio was seen wrapping an arm around Teyana in a video from the WME pre Oscar event.
In April 2024, Teyana shut down any speculation they were romantically linked but gushed that he was 'the best' and always 'cheerleads' those he works with.
Explaining the video of them from the WME event, she told E! News she was just trying to help him out.
'Leo wore extensions for the movie and they were hurting him,' Teyana said. 'I was literally helping him with his bun.
The Oscar-winner is currently in a relationship with model Vittoria Ceretti (pictured) with whom he recently celebrated their first anniversary as a couple
Until his current love interest, the actor had famously not dated anyone over the age of 25
'And if you've seen the end of the video, I said something about cornbread because my chef was cooking for the whole cast,' she said. 'We gotta make sure his bun is right. We gotta make sure he's eating good.'
'Leo is like the best. He will cheerlead for you all the way through', she added.
Teyana is said to be friends with Leonardo's girlfriend Vittoria, according to PageSix.
Until his current love interest, the actor had famously not dated anyone over the age of 25.
His romances with the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Bar Rafaeli, Blake Lively and Nina Agdal all ended before they celebrated their 26th birthdays.
His most recent split from Daisy Jones & The Six star Camila Morrone appeared to end just weeks before she turned 25.
He was pictured out and about with Vittoria as the pair enjoyed a bike ride last week.
Despite keeping a casual appearance, one fan noticed the Hollywood couple and managed to get a smiling selfie with Vittoria.
