Arjun Rampal Announces Engagement to Gabriella Demetriades After Years Together

Actor Arjun Rampal has confirmed his engagement to longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades, marking a new chapter in their relationship. The announcement came during a candid conversation on actor Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast, where the couple spoke openly about love, family and commitment.

The revelation surfaced organically during the discussion, with Rampal casually stating that the couple is engaged, drawing a surprised reaction from Chakraborty. A clip from the podcast, shared online with the caption congratulating the couple, quickly gained traction across social media.

During the interaction, Demetriades reflected on how her understanding of love evolved after becoming a parent, saying that unconditional affection becomes non-negotiable when children enter the picture. Rampal, responding in a lighter vein, joked about their initial attraction before acknowledging that their bond grew into something deeper over time.

Rampal and Demetriades have been together since 2018 and have built a family life away from the spotlight. The couple are parents to two sons — Arik, born in 2019, and Arav, born in 2023 — and are often seen together at public events and family outings.

Gabriella Demetriades, a South African model and fashion designer, has previously spoken about balancing her creative pursuits with motherhood. The couple’s relationship has been characterised by a low-key public presence, with both choosing to share personal milestones selectively.

Prior to his relationship with Demetriades, Rampal was married to former supermodel and entrepreneur Mehr Jesia. The two were married in 1998 and share two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra. They announced their separation in 2018 and finalised their divorce the following year, stating that the decision was mutual and respectful. Rampal has maintained that they continue to co-parent their daughters amicably.
