Emily Ratajkowski and French filmmaker Romain Gavras appeared more loved-up than ever as they enjoyed a romantic outing in Rome.

The 35-year-old model and actress was photographed sharing passionate kisses with Gavras, 45, while the pair explored the Italian capital together.

Their public display of affection offered another sign that the relationship is continuing to grow stronger after the couple first sparked romance rumours in late 2025.

Ratajkowski’s young son Sylvester, known as Sly, was also reportedly with them during the outing.

Couple Enjoys a Relaxed Day in Rome

Ratajkowski and Gavras were seen strolling through the city and visiting shops while on holiday.

At several points, the couple embraced and kissed as they walked through the streets, appearing relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company.

For the daytime outing, Ratajkowski wore a fitted black halterneck mini dress paired with white trainers.

Gavras opted for a casual look consisting of a loose khaki top, baggy white trousers, trainers and a Ralph Lauren cap.

The filmmaker was also seen carrying a shopping bag as the couple continued their walk through Rome.

Their affectionate appearance comes several months after they publicly confirmed their relationship.

Romance Began After New York Sighting

Ratajkowski and Gavras were first linked romantically in November 2025 after they were photographed kissing in New York City.

The relationship later became more public when the pair appeared together on social media.

In February 2026, they made their romance Instagram official, providing confirmation after months of speculation surrounding their relationship.

Gavras is an established French director who has worked across films and music videos.

Before becoming involved with Ratajkowski, he had been romantically linked to several high-profile women, including singers Dua Lipa and Rita Ora.

Romain Previously Dated Dua Lipa

Gavras dated Dua Lipa during 2023.

The two first generated dating speculation when they were spotted together during Paris Fashion Week, and they later appeared as a couple at public events.

Their relationship ended later that year.

Reports at the time suggested the pair had decided to go their separate ways as their lives and careers moved in different directions.

Gavras had also previously been in a relationship with British singer Rita Ora.

His romance with Ratajkowski therefore attracted attention quickly, particularly given the high-profile relationships both have had in the past.

Emily’s Longest Romance Since Her Divorce

Ratajkowski’s relationship with Gavras is believed to be her longest serious public romance since she separated from movie producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022.

The former couple married in 2018 and welcomed their son Sylvester in March 2021.

Ratajkowski filed for divorce the following year after their marriage came to an end.

Since the split, she has been linked to a number of well-known figures from the entertainment industry.

Among those were comedian Eric André and singer Harry Styles, with whom she was famously photographed kissing in Tokyo in 2023.

She was also linked to musician Shaboozey.

However, her relationship with Gavras has developed into a noticeably longer-term partnership.

Motherhood Remains Central to Her Life

Ratajkowski has frequently spoken about raising her son while navigating life as a single mother following her divorce.

Sylvester has regularly appeared in photographs and social media posts shared by the model.

Her experience of motherhood, relationships and dating after the breakdown of her marriage is also expected to influence her next book.

Ratajkowski has reportedly secured a major publishing deal for a new project titled Mother Fcker*.

The book is expected to explore modern female identity, sexuality, dating and motherhood through the perspective of a recently divorced woman raising a young child in New York.

It follows her previous essay collection, My Body, which explored themes including fame, relationships, sexuality and the way women’s bodies are treated within the entertainment and fashion industries.

Ratajkowski Moves Forward With a New Chapter

The Rome photographs appear to show Ratajkowski in a particularly happy period of her personal life.

After several shorter romances following her divorce, her relationship with Gavras appears to have developed steadily since the pair were first spotted together.

Rather than keeping their romance entirely private, the couple have gradually become more comfortable showing their affection publicly and sharing glimpses of their relationship online.

Their latest outing in Italy only reinforced that impression.

With Ratajkowski enjoying time abroad alongside her boyfriend and her son, the Rome trip appears to mark another chapter in a relationship that has grown increasingly serious over the past year.

For now, neither Ratajkowski nor Gavras has publicly suggested what the future may hold, but their affectionate appearance in the Italian capital suggests their romance remains firmly on track.
