Emily Ratajkowski appears to have entered a new chapter in her personal life. The model recently shared a captionless Instagram post on February 19 that subtly revealed her budding romance with French filmmaker Romain Gavras.
The series of images offered an intimate glimpse into their time together. In the first photo, Emily is seen embracing Gavras, dressed in a backless outfit, while he gently holds her close. Another snapshot features a collage — Emily wearing a headscarf and sunglasses, while Gavras stands alone on a snow-covered road. A separate image captures the pair sitting side by side, with Emily playfully sticking out her tongue, suggesting a relaxed and affectionate bond. The final photo in the carousel shows their feet touching, hinting at quiet closeness.
Alongside these couple moments, Emily also included a few solo images of herself enjoying winter scenery and unwinding in a bathrobe.
Although she did not tag or explicitly mention Gavras in the post, fans quickly identified him. Supportive comments poured in from followers and friends alike. Supermodel Irina Shayk reacted with fire emojis, while Alexa Chung shared a heart emoji in response.
Gavras was previously linked to Dua Lipa in 2023, making this new development even more intriguing for fans.
Before this rumoured romance, Emily was associated with actor Austin Butler. The two sparked dating rumours after being spotted together at the afterparty for the New York City premiere of his film Caught Steaming in August 2025. A month later, they were seen spending time together at the popular West Village restaurant, The Waverly Inn, where they reportedly enjoyed drinks and conversation for hours.
Emily’s personal journey has been closely followed since her separation from her former husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in 2022. The couple married in 2018 and share a son, Sylvester Apollo.
In 2023, she reflected on her divorce in a candid TikTok video, sharing that being in her 30s has been empowering — a time of self-discovery and independence after stepping away from what she described as the “married fantasy.”
Now, her latest post suggests she may be embracing love once again, on her own terms.
