Emily Ratajkowski Makes Relationship with Romain Gavras Instagram Official
Model and author Emily Ratajkowski has publicly confirmed her romance with French film director Romain Gavras by sharing a series of intimate photographs on Instagram. The 34-year-old posted multiple loved-up images with Gavras, 44, on Thursday, marking their relationship as officially public on social media platforms.
Intimate Photographs Shared Without Caption
The carousel post featured several romantic snapshots of the couple, including one where they are cozied up together at a dinner table. Notably, Ratajkowski chose not to include any caption with the images, letting the photographs speak for themselves about their relationship status.
In one striking image, Ratajkowski wears a slinky red dress while sticking out her tongue in a provocative pose. Another photograph, captured on film, shows Gavras clutching the head of the My Body author with his arm wrapped around her as she wears a backless little black dress.
Relationship Timeline and Previous Connections
The couple was first romantically linked in November when they were spotted kissing in New York City. This relationship represents Ratajkowski's longest romantic involvement since her divorce from movie producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022. The former couple shares a son named Sly, who will celebrate his fourth birthday in March.
Gavras brings his own notable romantic history to the relationship, having previously dated pop star Dua Lipa for less than a year in 2023. The director was photographed with Lipa at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival during their brief relationship.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Response
Instagram users quickly responded to the relationship announcement with enthusiastic comments. One fan noted, 'Omg first post divorce guy gone insta official with,' while another wrote, 'Bro went from dua lipa to emrata. big boy is living our wildest dreams.'
The post included additional intimate moments between the couple, featuring two point-of-view photographs presumably taken of each other, a snapshot of their feet positioned toe-to-toe, and romantic images of Ratajkowski in New York City snow and what appears to be a hotel room setting where she poses in a white robe teasing her cleavage.
Gavras's Professional Background and Career
Romain Gavras has established himself as a prominent director known for creating iconic music videos for major artists. His notable works include Kanye West and Jay-Z's No Church In The Wild and M.I.A.'s Bad Girls and Born Free videos.
In recent years, Gavras has transitioned to feature film direction with critical success. His 2022 French drama Athena received widespread acclaim, and his latest project Sacrifice premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. This film marks his English-language debut and features an impressive ensemble cast including Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Evans, Vincent Cassell, Salma Hayek, John Malkovich, Charli XCX, comedian Sam Richardson, and rapper Yung Lean.
Social Media Presence and Previous Relationships
Gavras maintains an Instagram account with approximately 64,000 followers, though he has not posted on his main grid since July 2025. Ratajkowski, by contrast, has been more active in sharing glimpses of her personal life on social media platforms.
Since her divorce, Ratajkowski has been linked to several high-profile figures including musician Harry Styles, artist Shaboozey, and comedian Eric André. Her brief dalliance with André included a nude Valentine's Day Instagram post in 2023 that led fans to believe they were officially launching their relationship, though it lasted less than one month. Prior to that, in December 2022, she was photographed kissing New York-based artist Jack Greer following a short affair with comedian Pete Davidson.
The Instagram announcement represents a significant step for Ratajkowski, who has maintained a more private approach to her romantic life since her highly publicized divorce proceedings concluded two years ago.
