Leonardo DiCaprio recently showered his 16-year-old niece, Normandie Farrar, luxury goods during a shopping spree in Beverly Hills. The duo visited high-end stores like Tiffany & Co. and Prada despite ongoing family turmoil involving DiCaprio’s estranged stepbrother, Adam Farrar, Normandie’s father.
Leonardo DiCaprio Spotted on Family Outing Amid Ongoing Legal Issues
According to the Daily Mail, Normandie, who was reportedly “abducted” by her father at age six, seemed in high spirits as she carried shopping bags alongside her uncle, grandfather George DiCaprio, and stepmother Peggy Farrar. DiCaprio tried to maintain a low profile by wearing a baseball cap and mask.

This shopping spree follows a rare family dinner just two months earlier. Notably absent from these outings were Normandie’s parents, Charity Moore and Adam Farrar, who have faced several legal issues in the past, including an arrest for petty theft in 2016.
The DiCaprio Family Rift: A History of Legal Troubles and Estrangement
The family’s rift became public in 2014 when Adam was arrested on drug charges and took Normandie out of state, sparking a “kidnapping” investigation. Normandie eventually returned to California and was placed in her grandfather’s care.
It is said that Leonardo and Adam were close before they separated and shared many basketball games. Sources, however, claim that the relationship turned sour when Leonardo’s career took off compared to Adam’s ailing acting career. In 2010, Adam was charged with several criminal offenses, including harassment and domestic violence.
Despite the family’s complicated history, DiCaprio’s recent outings with his niece hint at reconciliation and maybe olive branches toward his troubled stepbrother.
