Arjun Rampal, Gabriella Demetriades Announce Engagement After 6 Years of Engagement

Actor Arjun Rampal has confirmed that long-term partner Gabriella Demetriades is now Rampal's fiancée. The reveal happened during a podcast chat, where an informal talk on relationships turned into a personal update. The couple, together since 2018, share two sons and usually keep family matters away from public attention.

The confirmation surfaced while Rampal and Demetriades appeared on Rhea Chakraborty's podcast. A casual discussion about love, commitment and marriage slowly shifted towards their own status. Gabriella Demetriades spoke openly about parenting, while Arjun Rampal mixed humour with honesty, leading to an unscripted revelation that surprised both the host and many viewers.

During the conversation, Gabriella Demetriades reflected on how feelings change once children arrive. Gabriella said, "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?" The line set up a wider chat about responsibility and bonds.

Gabriella Demetriades then joked about attraction and image in relationships, adding, "It's not like I am going after him because he is really hot, or I hope he didn't say that about me." Rampal leaned into the banter and replied, "I after her because she was hot. Then I realised there's a little more to it than just the hotness."

The engagement itself came out almost by accident. Gabriella Demetriades commented, "We are not married now, but who knows?" Arjun Rampal quickly followed with, "We are engaged," which left Rhea Chakraborty visibly stunned on camera. The podcast clip later spread online, drawing attention to the pair's low-key commitment.

One post sharing the moment used the caption, "Congratulations to the coolest couple in town @gabriellademetriades @rampal72 (sic)." The reaction matched public interest in their relationship, which has grown since 2018. Despite the attention, Rampal and Demetriades usually appear together only at select events, often accompanied by their children.

The couple welcomed their first son, Arik, in 2019, and their second son, Arav, in 2023. Gabriella Demetriades, a South African model and fashion designer, has earlier discussed balancing creative projects with raising young children. Arjun Rampal has also spoken about keeping a stable environment for all four children from both relationships.

Before partnering with Demetriades, Arjun Rampal was married to former supermodel and entrepreneur Mehr Jesia. The two married in 1998 and were seen as a key pair in fashion and film circles. They share daughters Mahikaa and Myra, and announced their separation in 2018 as a mutual decision made respectfully.

Their divorce was completed in 2019, and Arjun Rampal has stated several times that co-parenting continues smoothly. Rampal and Jesia still share responsibility for Mahikaa and Myra, while Rampal builds a new chapter with Gabriella Demetriades and sons Arik and Arav, now marked by an officially confirmed engagement.
