Her grandmother Lona revealed the pair are in a relationship - but had a warning for the playboy star should he treat her granddaughter badly.

'We have not said hello to him [DiCaprio] but we hope that he behaves towards her. Otherwise he will get me to deal with,' said Lona at her home in Denmark.

'I can tell you that it is six years since they first met, and now the relationship apparently developed.'

She added that her granddaughter's jet-set lifestyle largely spent in the US means she goes months at a time without seeing her.

'She is rarely home because she is very busy. I have fortunately an email from her once in a while, and I am of course happy,' she said.

Agdal, who has appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swim wear edition, appears as feisty as her grandmother and more than a match for DiCaprio.

In interviews she has admitted using dating site Tinder to look for a date as it puts her in control of who she chooses – and with one swipe she can ditch someone she doesn't like.

Warning: The model is close to her granny despite her busy lifestyle. Lona told MailOnline: 'We have not said hello to him [DiCaprio] but we hope that he behaves towards her. Otherwise he will get me to deal with.'

Agdal and Oscar winner DiCaprio were first romantically linked in 2014. The pair were seeing other people, but according to friends hooked up at the Cannes Film festival in May.

Last week they were photographed kissing and cuddling on the beach at Malibu in California, with the very public show of affection a clear sign they were an item.

Flaunting her body in a blue and white striped bikini, she showed off the curves that attracted one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Described by friends as fun-loving and good natured, her Instagram profile is full of selfies and bikni shots on beaches around the world. 

And unlike a number of models who live on strict, carefully-regulated diets Agdal is a meat eater and says Danish hot dogs are her favourite food.

She is also partial to a hamburgers, pasta and pizza having developed a taste for the food since moving to New York in 2010 from her home town of Hillerod in Denmark.

Agdal says she doesn't need to count calories and worry about her waistline.

In a recent interview with CR Fashionbook.com she listed Domino pizza and the US burger chain Shake Shack as her favourite restaurants.

Given her stunning bikini ready figure many will question her choice, but Agdal insists she eats what she wants. 

'People always ask me, "how can you eat that?" Because it's delicious and I work out four times a day,' she told the online magazine.

'If I have a big shoot I'll cut back. It's a balance, but you have to make yourself a little happy.'  

Until her relationship with DiCaprio blossomed the model was candid about her love life and her attitude towards men.

People always ask me, "how can you eat that?" Because it's delicious and I work out four times a day.

In an interview for Esquire magazine she admitted to using Tinder which is mostly used for casual hook ups.

'But that's why Tinder's so great because you pick who you want to meet,' she said.

'You don't have to go through that awkward stage of meeting someone you're definitely not interested in.'

Agdal, who lives in New York, said being a model has hindered her love life.

'I don't think that it's helped me to be honest, because a lot of times guys will either be sort of intimidated by [me] or they'll act way too cool for school to like try and impress [me].

'It definitely makes some guys do things a bit differently than if [I] weren't a model.'

In the candid chat Agdal said she would like to see actor Aston Kutcher, describing him as a 'sexy dork'.

She also said she'd like to see singer Chris Brown on Tinder - despite his reputation for violence and attacking his then girlfriend Rhianna leaving her battered and bruised.

In keeping with her desire for a healthy meal Agdal said her worst ever date occurred when he chose a fresh fruit plate for desert.

She recalled last year: 'I remember one date was going really, really well, we were having an amazing dinner, and then it came to dessert and he ordered a fruit plate. And to me, you don't eat fruit for dessert. If I'm getting dessert I'm ordering like a brownie with caramel and ice cream.

'I don't want, like, oranges and melons. That was like a shutdown after that.

'No fruit plates for me.' 

Not choosing the healthy option on the menu might be a good pointer for DiCaprio if he wants the relationship to last longer than his previous dalliance with a blonde model.

The actor dated Kelly Rohrbach after they were introduced by mutual friends.

DiCaprio, however, is not Agdal's first celebrity romance.

She was previously linked to Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine and had a year-long relationship with Max George from the British band The Wanted.

In an interview for OK magazine George gushed about the model.

'She makes me laugh, She's so funny and daft. She's not at all high-maintenance - she just likes to have fun,' he said.

'She's just a mate and obviously, yes, she's absolutely stunning.'

Soon after the relationship foundered Agdal was spotted leaving a New York nightclub with DiCaprio and jumping into his car.

At the time he was supposed to be seeing 21-year-old model Toni Garrn and friends of the actor played down any talk of a relationship.

Agdal's number would have gone into his black book and in May they were spotted together again at the Cannes Film Festival after he invited her to France.

The frolicking on the California beach confirmed that Agdal is the latest blonde model to capture his heart.
