She was a Sports Illustrated cover model, and he co-founded the successful Catch Hospitality Group – but how did Praver get her start, and how long have the glamorous couple been together?

Leonardo DiCaprio turned 50 in true Hollywood fashion with a celebration that could rival the Oscars after-party. According to Just Jared, the November 9 bash at a private Los Angeles residence drew an A-list crowd worthy of its own red carpet. Brad Pitt (seen with Ines De Ramon), Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton and Simon Cowell were just a few of the guests in attendance. With DJ Meel on the decks, Champagne Telmont flowing, and a birthday cake fit for a star, it was a night as extravagant as you would expect from the Oscar winner.

Raised in Maui, Hawaii, Tori Praver shot to fame at just 17 as the youngest face of Guess, a milestone that, according to Fashionista, kick-started her career. From there, she graced multiple magazine covers and stood out in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue from 2007 to 2009.

Growing up on the sun-soaked beaches of Maui sparked a deep connection to the ocean for Praver, influencing both her career and business ventures, per her website. Spending countless days in bikinis, Tori spotted a gap in the market for high-quality, handcrafted swimwear that blended comfort with feminine design. That realisation became the foundation of her eponymous swimwear brand.
