Emily Ratajkowski and boyfriend Romain Gavras share passionate kiss on vacation in Rome

Model Emily Ratajkowski and Filmmaker Romain Gavras Share a Passionate Moment in Rome

MARTIN DE REYES—During a vacation in Italy, model Emily Ratajkowski and her boyfriend, French filmmaker Romain Gavras, were photographed walking hand‑in‑hand through the streets of Rome and sharing a kiss that drew attention from fans and paparazzi alike.

The 35‑year‑old Ratajkowski was dressed in a black minidress with a plunging halter neckline, paired with black sunglasses, a black purse and white sneakers. Gavras wore white, baggy jeans, a green button‑up shirt, sunglasses and a white baseball cap. The couple’s photos also captured Gavras’s arm around Ratajkowski’s waist as they strolled through historic city streets.

The couple’s romance began to surface publicly in November 2025, when they were photographed together in New York City with Gavras’s arm around Ratajkowski’s waist. They went “official” on Instagram in February 2026, posting a slideshow that included a close‑up of Gavras embracing her at a restaurant. They have since been seen together at Paris Fashion Week, further solidifying their status as a high‑profile couple in the entertainment world.

Ratajkowski is a mother to five‑year‑old son Sylvester “Sly,” whom she shares with former husband Sebastian Bear‑McClard. In a 2023 interview with The Cut, the model explained that her dating rules as a single mom include never missing bedtime and avoiding sleepovers, a policy she says helps her maintain stability for her son. “There was nowhere I’d rather be than when I woke up with my toddler, so no matter the number of martinis, I’d be fully dressed and out the door to relieve the sitter and be ready for my son’s 6 a.m. ‘Maamaaaa!’” she added.

Gavras, a director best known for his work on music videos for artists such as Dua Lipa and Rita Ora, has previously dated pop singers Dua Lipa in 2023 and Rita Ora in 2020. Both singers have moved on from those relationships; Lipa is now married to actor Callum Turner, while Ora is married to director‑actor Taika Waititi as of 2022.

The couple also recently spent time together in Mallorca, Spain, where Ratajkowski posted images of her son playing on the beach and a photo of the pair kissing. Fans have praised the duo’s apparent chemistry. One Instagram comment read, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ YES to finding love again,” while another added, “We love love.”

Ratajkowski’s Italian getaway, captured by photographers and followers alike, offers a glimpse into the couple’s private life, illustrating how a high‑profile couple navigates romance while balancing family responsibilities.
