Emily Ratajkowski has confirmed she is in a new relationship after sharing affectionate photos with French filmmaker Romain Gavras on Instagram. The 34-year-old model and author posted a series of images on February 19 that offered a glimpse into her personal life.

Among them was a photo of Gavras holding her around the waist and cradling her head, as well as another of the two sitting side by side, close together. In a more playful image, their trainers touched from a point-of-view angle, hinting at a relaxed, intimate moment. The post also included solo pictures of Ratajkowski in a bathrobe and walking through a snowy setting.

While the upload did not include a caption or a tag identifying Gavras, he was quickly recognized as her new partner. Rumors about the pair began circulating in November when they were seen together in New York City. Onlookers photographed them sharing public displays of affection throughout the evening, appearing comfortable and close as they walked through the city.

The relationship marks a new chapter for Ratajkowski, who separated from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022 after four years of marriage. The former couple wed in 2018 and share a four-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo.

Since the split, Ratajkowski has spoken openly about navigating divorce and embracing independence. In interviews and essays, she has reflected on the challenges of ending a marriage while also rediscovering her sense of self. She has also been candid about dating and learning to prioritize her own happiness.

Gavras, a French director and screenwriter, recently premiered his film Sacrifice at the Toronto International Film Festival. The project drew attention for its high-profile cast and marked a significant milestone in his career. Before being linked to Ratajkowski, Gavras was in a relationship with pop star Dua Lipa. The two made their red carpet debut as a couple at a film festival in 2023.

Ratajkowski’s latest Instagram post suggests that her relationship with Gavras is no longer under wraps. Though she kept the caption blank, the images themselves spoke clearly, signaling that she is comfortable sharing this new phase of her life with her followers.

For fans who have followed her journey through marriage, motherhood, and personal reinvention, the post serves as a quiet but unmistakable confirmation that she has moved forward.
