Arjun Rampal has quietly dropped a personal update fans weren’t expecting. While promoting Dhurandhar, the actor appeared on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast Chapter 2 and casually revealed that he and longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades are officially engaged — even though marriage isn’t on the immediate horizon.
“We are engaged!” — the moment that surprised everyone
In a teaser clip from the upcoming episode, Gabriella can be heard saying they aren’t married yet, adding a playful “who knows?” That’s when Rampal jumped in with a smile and made it official. “We are engaged! We just broke it on your show,” he said, catching even Rhea off guard.
The reveal was unplanned, spontaneous, and very on-brand for the couple — low-key, honest, and unfiltered.
A relationship shaped by time and parenthood
Rampal and Gabriella have been together since 2019 and are parents to two sons, Arik and Ariv. During the conversation, the couple spoke openly about how their relationship has evolved over the years, especially after becoming parents.
Gabriella reflected on how motherhood changed her understanding of love, explaining that romantic relationships often come with expectations, but love for a child is unconditional — something that reshaped how she sees emotional bonds.
Arjun’s candid confession
In one of the lighter moments, Rampal admitted what initially drew him to Gabriella. With trademark honesty, he said he first pursued her because he found her attractive — before realising there was much more depth beyond the initial spark.
The moment added warmth and humour to the discussion, giving fans a glimpse into their dynamic beyond headlines and public appearances.
A blended family
Before his relationship with Gabriella, Rampal was married to Mehr Jesia. He shares two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, from his previous marriage. Over the years, the actor has often spoken about maintaining balance between his personal life and parenting responsibilities.
Career highs alongside personal clarity
The timing of the reveal comes as Rampal enjoys strong professional momentum. His latest release Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, has crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India. The film features an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan, with Rampal earning praise for his role as Major Iqbal.
Final words
No grand announcement. No flashy post. Just a quiet truth shared in conversation. Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades may not be rushing toward the wedding aisle, but their engagement confirms what fans already sensed — the couple is solid, content, and very much on their own timeline.
