Jared Leto has always maintained an air of mystery both on-screen and off. Known for his transformative roles and rockstar persona, the Suicide Squad actor has also made headlines for his often-speculated love life. Over the years, Leto has been romantically linked to a long list of A-list names, including Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Olsen, and Katy Perry.
But of all his rumored romances, his relationship with Russian model Valery Kaufman may have been his most enduring, albeit low-key. The two were first spotted together in 2015 during Leto’s Suicide Squad filming days in New York. While rarely seen in public, they appeared to maintain an on-and-off relationship over the years. Amid all the speculations about his personal life, Leto managed to keep everything under wraps.
Jared Leto’s confession about women that went under the carpet too quickly
Even during his time with Kaufman, Jared Leto remained tight-lipped about his love life. In 2020, a source told People that initially, they were friends. The two would be spotted around groups of people to hang out, which didn’t make it look like they were together. Leto and Kaufman maintained the secret for years.
“They didn’t go on solo dates. Over the years, things seem to have turned romantic. They have been off and on now for a few years but seem to spend more time together lately,” the source told People. However, as it turned out, that was probably the longest relationship the Oscar winner has had with any woman.
Despite allegedly being in a relationship, when Leto was asked about it during a Rolling Stone interview, he gave a cryptic answer. He maintained his silence on his relationship status and revealed what he has learned about women over the years.
Even if I was in a relationship or maybe if I was having kids, I don’t know if I would share that information publicly. You know what I’ve learned about women? I know absolutely nothing about women. The older I get, it’s just people. I just see people.
At the time, the comment flew under the radar, read more as philosophical musings from a famously private star. In addition to that, Leto was always adamant about keeping his personal life private. So, people thought there was nothing to dig in.
But with recent developments, that quote has resurfaced in a much different light. Now, people are reading between the lines with the barrage of se*ual misconduct allegations being made against the star.
Allegations against Jared Leto surface after years of speculation
In June 2025, multiple women came forward with serious se*ual misconduct allegations against Leto, some alleging the incidents occurred when they were underage. On June 7th, Air Mail published the story based on interviews conducted with several women about the Hollywood star, and the revelations made are bone-chilling.
Several women have accused the actor of inappropriate behavior, including late-night messages, coerced physical contact, and exposing himself, all of which Leto has firmly denied. The allegations from nine different women include Leto asking se*ual questions to a 16-year-old, walking out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old, and masturbating, while exposing himself and an 18-year-old’s hand on him while doing the alleged act.
What’s worth noting is that these allegations didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. For years, internet forums and social media platforms have circulated rumors and unverified claims about Leto’s behavior, with many questioning his interactions with much younger women.
While no legal action has been publicly reported, the allegations have undoubtedly cast a shadow over Leto’s long-standing career. As the discourse around celebrity accountability continues to evolve, Leto finds himself at the center of a conversation that puts his already suspicious reputation on the brink of destruction.
