I love it when celebrities aren’t above showing honest moments like this, makes it so relatable.

[@rorygilmorelove6]

Glad she's getting recognized. The best American Idol winner

[@bitokay147]

So happy for her! Every performance she will touch your soul. Her energy is so powerful. Leo is so classy.

[@luash5073]

Her speaking voice is just as pretty as her singing voice.

[@rachelm.3173]

Love this! Fantasia is so real, lol

[@pauletteandriaHamilton]

That makes her so real

[@manantial773]

I love Leo as much as her, so I get her completely.

[@TheJazzy1980]

Sameeee 😂 I don't play when it comes to Leo. I wouldn't have recovered 😂😂

[@BellaR.]

Right 😂I’m a grandma and he is definitely 👍

[@unfriendlyblkhottie444]

Same. I would just melt if i looked into the crowd and locked eyes with Leo 😭🤣

[@johannahalexander2915]

Fantasia will definitely be herself no matter what stage she is on. I love her❤️

[@160Days2Lose2]

Love this and love her. So happy her star is continuing to rise!!! 🙌🏾

[@I_Cannot_Go_I_am_Studying]

I love her having a fangirl moment.
I love his acknowledgement of her, his new best friend , even more!❤
You forgot to mention Growing Pains, he was absolutely adorable 😢

[@GraemeONeil]

haha true. i was trying to mention those movies that would have made sense that Fantasia saw of Leo's at an impressionable age. "Growing Pains" went off the air when she was 9 years old, but she definitely could have watched that as well.

[@mrscwhite18]

Love that she did that funny and cute

[@bigmamag1]

I love this about Fantasia she is real no phoniness about her I cracked up😂❤

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Fantasia's Oscar campaign has only just begun. Looks like her team has crafted a "small town girl makes good" storyline.

[@do440]

Her team has crafted? Y’all think everything is an agenda. She’s always been known for her humility and transparency. Simon Cowell once said she’s his favorite to ever come out of the American Idol machine because every year she came back the exact same humble person she was when she won.

[@Tojoj22]

She better win!!

[@ravenh7324]

Well, our small town need to straighten up! 😂 we are a mess over here, that's prob why she don't come back that often, if at all

[@celestialblueceleste2511]

That was sweet of Leonardo!❤ I can't blame Fantasia....👀🔥🔥🔥

[@sizzurpr7608]

Oprah did not look amused 🤭

[@Geoffhassett8612]

she is so amazing

[@rebekahpowers1595]

I don’t blame Fantasia ❤❤❤❤!

[@kenyakinard513]

She is so classy

[@destinygraham2230]

Her reaction is priceless 😂I can’t believe she hasn’t met him before this

[@jackcuellar357]

Kudos to both. Love de caprio. Hollywood does not credit him enough.

[@corneliuswhite5139]

I think it's beautiful. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@luthelbrooker3144]

That was cute.🤭

[@lust3390]

Leo "power of never dating a woman over the age of 27". A true 'power of women' kinda man /s.

[@bigmamag1]

Love this Fantasia just so real

[@shibaartista4274]

OMG when you showed Leo In Titanic I had a spasm

[@mrlij6534]

Oprah didnt look very amused, and besides thats now Oliver Stone, Not Leonardo anymore, lol

[@nataliedavis1988]

Lucky luvjy❤
