A breakup should rarely be a laughing matter, no matter the couple.
But the legendary Dionne Warwick had several of her fans in stitches with her remarks on Leonardo DiCaprio's recent split from Camila Morrone.
Specifically, that Morrone appears to be the latest victim of the Oscar winning actor's "25 and Under" rule when it comes to dating.
The breakup between the 47-year-old film star and the model was highly publicized when their relationship ended—just after Morrone's 25th birthday.
Following their split, the dating history of the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star came under considerable scrutiny.
DiCaprio has faced ongoing criticism for regularly dating women half his age or younger, and now several people have pointed out another tendency: romantic relationships involving the former Romeo, who has never married, seem to always end shortly after his love interests reach their 25th birthday.
As one might expect, conspiracy theorists wasted no time in pointing out that Morrone seems to be the latest casualty of DiCaprio's apparent age limit, sharing their amusement and displeasure on Twitter.
\u201cLeonardo DiCaprio only dating women who are under 25 is pretty funny considering he has aged like spilled milk.\u201d— Bone Chocolates (@Bone Chocolates) 1661924124
\u201cWe joke about Leonardo Dicaprio only dating women under 25 but it's actually astonishing how firmly he sticks to that rule.\u201d— Kara Schlegl (@Kara Schlegl) 1661905232

Upon learning of the unofficial prerequisites for being DiCaprio's girlfriend, the 81-year old Warwick joined in the Twitter commentary.
But rather than poke fun at or scold the Wolf of Wall Street star, Warwick offered some words of wisdom in her usual classy style, simply stating that DiCaprio was missing out on experiencing love with countless strong and smart women.
\u201cI just heard about Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s 25 year rule. His loss. You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing.\u201d— Dionne Warwick (@Dionne Warwick) 1663091530
"I just heard about Leonardo DiCaprio's 25 year rule."
"His loss."
"You don't know what you're missing."
Fans of the iconic Burt Bacharach interpreter were quick to applaud her words of wisdom and laugh at her subtle schooling of the film star and his questionable standards.

It does look as if the star of The Aviator has already broadened his horizons when it comes to finding love.
By two whole years.
Despite his breakup with Morrone being just over a month old, DiCaprio has been spotted out and about with 27-year-old model Gigi Hadid.
Though it remains unconfirmed that DiCaprio and Hadid are romantically involved, a source told Peoplethat "Leo is definitely pursuing Gigi."
It seems that DiCaprio might follow Warwick's advice and rethink his quarter-century limit.
One can only "say a little prayer"...
