Arjun Rampal has finally put all rumours to rest. The actor, who is riding high on the success of his latest release Dhurandhar, has confirmed that he is engaged to longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades. The revelation came during a candid conversation on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast, marking a big personal update after six years of their relationship.
Dhurandhar Actor Arjun Rampal Confirms Engagement To Gabriella Demetriades
Ahead of the podcast’s YouTube premiere, Rhea shared a teaser clip on Instagram that quickly grabbed attention. In the video, Gabriella spoke openly about their current status and said, “We’re not married now, but who knows?”
Her comment led to an instant response from Arjun, who smiled and revealed, “We are engaged! We just broke it on your show.”
The confirmation ended years of speculation around the couple’s future. Arjun and Gabriella have been together since 2018 and are parents to two sons, Arik and Ariv. Despite building a family together, they had chosen to stay away from labels, making this announcement even more significant for fans.
The podcast episode also featured light-hearted moments that showed the couple’s easy chemistry. Gabriella admitted that she did not approach Arjun for his looks and hoped he hadn’t done the same. Arjun replied, “No, no. I went after her because she was hot, then I realised there is a little more to it than just the hotness.”
Gabriella Recently Celebrated Arhun’s Birthday
Gabriella recently shared a glimpse into their family life while celebrating Arjun’s birthday on November 26. Posting pictures with the actor, she wrote, “Happy birthday to our guy, thank you for showing us how life is meant to be lived.” The post reflected the close bond they share as partners and parents.
Arjun has previously spoken about his views on marriage. In a 2024 podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, the actor explained why he had not rushed into tying the knot. He said, “It’s not me, it’s not her, what is marriage? It’s just a piece of paper. I think we are already married and there is no doubt about it in my mind.” He also shared concerns about how legal commitment can sometimes change relationships, adding, “But what sometimes that piece of paper can also do is change you.”
The actor further opened up about valuing privacy and emotional balance in his personal life. He said, “I think that’s how we both feel, we feel like it’s so organic whatever has happened between us and touchwood, I don’t want to jinx too much about it.” Arjun also mentioned his belief in the evil eye and why he prefers keeping personal milestones low-key.
Before his relationship with Gabriella, Arjun was married to model Mehr Jesia. The former couple share two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra. With Gabriella, Arjun welcomed Arik in April 2019 and Ariv in 2023, completing their blended family.
While the couple has not shared details about wedding plans yet, the engagement confirmation has clearly shifted the conversation.
