Arjun Rampal married his longtime partner Gabriella Demetriades in an intimate ceremony in Goa on Friday. The couple registered their marriage at the Sub-Registrar’s office in Mapusa, North Goa, in the presence of close friends. They arrived around 4 pm in casual attire and obtained special permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor of the local court to waive the mandatory 15-day waiting period required under Goa’s marriage laws. Sub-Registrar Suraj Vernekar confirmed that the marriage was registered under Goa’s Uniform Civil Code.

The couple began dating in late 2018, a few months after Arjun announced his separation from his first wife Mehr Jesia. They have two sons together: Arik, born in 2019, and Ariv, born in 2023. In December 2025, Arjun confirmed his engagement to Gabriella during an appearance on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast. Arjun had previously spoken about his views on marriage, saying he considered them already married and that a legal certificate could change the dynamic between partners.
Both Bollywood Hungama and Cinema Express covered the wedding as a neutral, factual celebrity event, focusing on the legal process, the couple's timeline, and family details. Neither outlet introduced any government or ideological framing. The key difference is that Bollywood Hungama included a lengthy quote from Arjun Rampal about his earlier ambivalence toward marriage, while Cinema Express added context on Gabriella's nationality and Arjun's recent film projects. The middle-ground takeaway is a straightforward celebrity marriage announcement. What to watch: the couple's future public appearances and any upcoming film releases for Rampal.
