French director Romain Gavras and model Emily Ratajkowski were recently photographed sharing intimate moments in Rome. The couple was seen holding hands and kissing while en route to a lunch date.
Gavras, 45, is the son of Greek-French film director Costa-Gavras and has gained recognition for his directorial work. His film "The World Is Yours" was screened at the Directors' Fortnight during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, and his movie "Athena" premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival. His English-language debut, "Sacrifice," starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Evans, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Gavras also has a history of directing music videos, earning a Grammy nomination in 2013 for Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Frank Ocean's "No Church in the Wild" and an MTV Video Music Award in 2012 for M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls."
Gavras and Ratajkowski were first linked in November, when they were photographed kissing in New York City. They made their relationship Instagram official in February. This relationship marks Ratajkowski's longest since her divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022.
Prior to his relationship with Ratajkowski, Gavras was linked to singer Dua Lipa. Their relationship, which began in 2023, reportedly ended after eight months, with sources suggesting Lipa's career focus played a role. Lipa has since married actor Callum Turner. Gavras also dated singer Rita Ora beginning in 2020. Their relationship, which included travel to Ibiza and Corfu, was subject to engagement rumors. A spokesperson for Gavras stated at the time that they broke up months earlier due to conflicting work schedules but remained close friends. Ora is now married to film-maker Taika Waititi.
Gavras, who has an estimated net worth of $5 million, has largely refrained from public comments about his past relationships. However, he has spoken about conflict in his work, drawing parallels to Greek tragedy and myths, which he described as deeply influential on his artistic perspective.
