Emily Ratajkowski and Romain Gavras Attend Premiere of His New Film 'Sacrifice'

Emily Ratajkowski appeared at the Athens premiere of her boyfriend Romain Gavras's new film "Sacrifice" on Saturday, October 4, 2026. The model, 35, wore a plunging semi-sheer black dress to the event at the Onassis Stegi.

Gavras, 45, the French director and son of filmmaker Costa-Gavras, accompanied Ratajkowski. He wore an oversized black coat and blue shirt. The couple, who were first linked in November 2025 and went Instagram official in February 2026, held hands and appeared affectionate at the premiere.

"Sacrifice" marks Gavras's English-language debut and premiered earlier in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film features Anya Taylor-Joy as a zealot who plans to sacrifice three individuals to prevent global destruction. The cast also includes Chris Evans, Salma Hayek Pinault, John Malkovich, and Charli XCX.

Gavras has a notable career in filmmaking, with his second film, "The World Is Yours," screening at the Directors' Fortnight during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. His film "Athena" premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival. He also directed the music video for Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Frank Ocean's "No Church in the Wild," earning a Grammy nomination in 2013.

This appears to be Ratajkowski's longest relationship since her divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022. Prior to her relationship with Gavras, he dated singer Dua Lipa, and before that, Rita Ora, with whom engagement rumors circulated.
