Emily Ratajkowski is reportedly in a relationship with Dua Lipa’s former partner, Romain Gavras, as the couple was photographed exchanging kisses in public.
The model was seen sharing tender moments with the Greek-French director on the evening of Sunday, November 9, on the streets of New York. The two were holding hands and kissing during their stroll in Manhattan. This marks their first public appearance together.
Ratajkowski opted for a casual look, wearing a brown leather coat with fur details on the sleeves, a black top, and straight-leg pants. She completed her outfit with black-and-white sneakers and a black handbag.
Gavras, known for his films and collaborations with artists like M.I.A., wore a blue coat paired with a beige shirt and a blue T-shirt printed with “Άγιον Όρος, το περιβόλι της Παναγίας” and “Mount Athos”, depicting the outline of the Athos Peninsula, as seen in photos released by Deux Moi. He completed his look with jeans, white sneakers, and a black hat.

The photos show the couple exchanging kisses and hugs at various spots around the city, including near a subway entrance. At one point, the model gently touched her partner’s face while he held her by the waist. Later, she stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.
This relationship appears to be Ratajkowski’s first since her brief romance with singer Shaboozey in the summer of 2024. Prior to that, she was linked to Harry Styles, with whom she was photographed kissing in Tokyo in March 2023, and comedian Eric André, with whom she shared a nude photo on Instagram earlier that year.
Ratajkowski also had brief relationships with artist Jack Greer, comedian Pete Davidson, and DJ Horacio Rispo, while rumors suggested she was close to Brad Pitt in fall 2022.
Before these short-lived relationships, the model was married to producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, known for his collaboration with Josh and Benny Safdie on Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler. They married in a discreet city hall ceremony on February 23, 2018, and had a son in March 2021, before separating in July 2022. Since then, Ratajkowski has focused on her career, recently making her debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025.
Romain Gavras’ Relationship with Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa was first spotted with the director in March 2023, when they were photographed returning from a Saint Laurent fashion show in Paris. Their official red carpet debut came two months later, in May, at the Cannes Film Festival.
According to The Sun, the former couple broke up because the singer decided to focus exclusively on her music. After her single “Houdini”, the star parted ways with Gavras following eight months of dating.
