Arjun Rampal confirms his engagement with longtime partner, Gabriella Demetriades
On December 13, 2025, Rhea Chakraborty took to her Instagram handle and shared a snippet from her upcoming episode of the Chapter 2 podcast featuring Arjun Rampal and his longtime partner, Gabriella Demetriades. The full episode will be released on December 14, 2025. In the clip, Gabriella shared that they are not married yet and made a quip saying, “We’re not married now, but who knows?” Hearing this, Arjun quickly made a revelation about his engagement to Gabriella.

“We are engaged! We just broke it on your show.”
Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades’ love story
Arjun and Gabriella have been together since 2019. The couple met each other through common friends. In a past interview with Hindustan Times, Arjun shared a glimpse of their love story. For the uninitiated, Arjun has two daughters from his first marriage, Mahikaa and Myra.
While Arjun said in the old interview that it was Gabriella who stalked him, in the snippet shared by Rhea, when his girlfriend said that she didn’t approach him, Arjun jokingly said, “No, no. I went after her because she was hot, then I realised there is a little more to it than just the hotness.” Sharing details about their initial days of dating, Arjun said to Hindustan Times:
“We met through common friends. So, what can I say? That she stalked me? Wishful thinking that, buddy! It’s only been a year since we started dating and here we are. For keeps. And I must add that it was of prime importance that my daughters should accept her as part of the family. I’m blessed that they have, no questions asked.”
Arjun and Gabriella were blessed with two sons. Their first son, Arik, was born in 2019, and their second son, Ariv, was born in 2023. The Dhurandhar star is a doting father to four kids, Mahikaa, Myra, Arik and Ariv.
When Arjun Rampal revealed why he didn’t get married to his girlfriend, Gabriella Demetriades
In a 2024 conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, Arjun Rampal revealed why he didn’t get married to his longtime girlfriend, Gabriella. For the uninitiated, Gabriella is a model and a fashion designer. During the conversation, the Dhurandhar actor shared that for him, marriage is just a ‘piece of paper’. Arjun mentioned that he is already married to Gabriella in his mind, but as sometimes a piece of paper changes the attitude of someone, they have not signed the marriage papers. He highlighted that his daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, share a very good bond with Gabriella. He was quoted as saying:
“Marriage is just a piece of paper. We are already married, and there is no doubt about that in my mind. But sometimes what that piece of paper can do is change you. You’re just legally bound in a way, but it could change your attitude towards each other. In both our minds, we are married to each other… I have two beautiful boys with her. I am blessed. My daughters and her (Gabriella) get along beautifully. Mehr and her (Gabriella) get along.”
Congratulations to Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades.
