Arjun Rampal confirms engagement to Gabriella Demetriades

Actor Arjun Rampal has begun a new chapter in his life without much fanfare. He confirmed he's engaged to his longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades in a way that matches his low-key style.

Instead of making a big public announcement, the news came out during a chat on Rhea Chakraborty's podcast. When the topic of marriage came up, Arjun shared this exciting update. This private moment grabbed the attention of fans online.

The engagement was glimpsed in the podcast trailer, alongside the caption, "Congratulations to the coolest couple in town @gabriellademetriades @rampal72."

Gabriella Demetriades spoke openly about love, saying, "Love comes with conditions. If the person behaves in a certain way, they get my approval or love. But when you have a child, you can't do that, right?" She added with a laugh, "It's not like I am going after him because he is really hot, or I hope he didn't say that about me."

Arjun Rampal, ever candid and with a touch of humour, replied, "I after her because she was hot. Then I realised there's a little more to it than just the hotness." At one point, Gabriella said, "We are not married now, but who knows?"

prompting Arjun to clarify with a smile, "We are engaged," leaving host Rhea Chakraborty pleasantly surprised.

Together since 2018, Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades have quietly built a life grounded in companionship and family.

The couple are parents to two sons, Arik, born in 2019, and Arav, born in 2023. Gabriella, a South African model and fashion designer, has often spoken about the balance between her creative ambitions and motherhood. Fans often see them together in public, a picture of a warm, close-knit family.

Before Gabriella Demetriades, Arjun Rampal was married to former supermodel and entrepreneur Mehr Jesia. The couple tied the knot in 1998 and were widely admired for their influence in fashion and film.

They share two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, and after announcing their separation in 2018—finalised in 2019—Rampal has emphasised their commitment to co-parenting amicably.
