Arjun Rampal confirms engagement with Gabriella Demetriades.
Mumbai: Arjun Rampal recently confirmed a major personal milestone during a conversation on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast Chapter 2. Known for his quiet personal life, Rampal revealed on camera that he and longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades are officially engaged. The announcement came spontaneously during a casual discussion about love and relationships. Gabriella hinted at the news earlier, saying, “We’re not married now, but who knows?” before Rampal interjected with, “We are engaged! We just broke it on your show,” creating a moment of surprise and delight for listeners and fans alike.
The couple, who have been together since 2019 and share two sons, Arik and Ariv, spoke candidly about their relationship, parenting, and the evolution of their bond. Gabriella reflected on love and its conditions, noting that with a child, one cannot impose conditional love. Rampal opened up about grief, recalling the loss of his mother Gwen in 2018, describing it as “like losing a limb” and emphasizing the depth of parental loss. Their discussion also had lighter moments, with Gabriella joking about initially being attracted to Rampal’s looks, and Rampal admitting he was drawn by her charm before realizing the depth of their connection beyond physical attraction.
