The single actor has been smitten with Cat since meeting her last year, when she was in Los Angeles filming hit US TV talent show 'So You Think You Can Dance', and now the 'Titanic' star wants an English rose of his own.
Leo told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Cat's lovely. But then most English girls are. This country churns out some of the loveliest women in the world."
The actor's last relationship was with Israeli swimsuit model Bar Rafaeli, and before that he dated Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
A source revealed: "Leo's desperate to have a family. He hates the identikit females in Los Angeles and he's always had a soft spot for English roses like Cat. He loves London too. So he's looking for a nice English wife to make a fresh start with over here."
The 32-year-old bachelor has been in the UK promoting his new movie 'Blood Diamond', which has earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination, and during his stay he made the most of the city's vibrant nightlife.
Leo reportedly ran up a £10, 000 bar bill as he partied across some of London's top nightspots following news of his nomination this week.
He started his evening on Tuesday night (23.01.07) at 10pm at trendy Japanese restaurant Roka, before moving on to exclusive club Boujis - a favourite hang-out of Princes William and Harry.
Back at his hotel, the actor reportedly carried on partying until his limo arrived to pick him up at 9am on Wednesday (24.01.07) to take him to Luton Airport.
Other revellers included his 'Blood Diamond' co-stars Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou.
