On August 4, 2025, Leonardo DiCaprio was stopped by the Guardia Civil as he left a private party in Ibiza. The event, hosted by actor-singer Arón Piper to launch his new single, was attended by celebrities including Kendall Jenner, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Jon Kortajarena, and Ester Expósito.
The party received scrutiny for its alleged illegality, as reported by journalist Sergio Garrido on TardeAR. DiCaprio, dressed in dark clothing, cooperated with the authorities by providing the necessary documentation and was subsequently allowed to leave.
Garrido suggested that the Guardia Civil intended to dismantle the “illegal” party, referencing DiCaprio’s encounter at a checkpoint. However, the Diario de Ibiza, citing GQ, reported that the police presence was due to overcrowding and disorderly parking around the villa. Officers checked the attendees’ participation to manage the excess guests, emphasising the tension between Ibiza’s summer glamour and regulatory oversight.
