Following Arjun's separation from his ex-wife, he met Gabriella Demetriades. Soon, something sparked between the duo, and they started dating. Arjun and Gabriella have been in a live-in relationship for years, and they have two sons. It was last year when Arjun confirmed that he was engaged to Gabriella. However, they allegedly registered their marriage on August 21, 2026, at the Sub-Registrar’s office in Mapusa, North Goa, under Goa’s Uniform Civil Code. Amid the couple's low-key court marriage, their massive age gap also started to resurface.

Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades' massive age gap resurfaced: How did the couple meet?

For those who don't know, Arjun and Gabriella share a 15-year age gap. While Arjun was born in 1972 and is 53, Gabriella, who was born in 1987, is 39 years old. The newlyweds' 15-year age gap has always been a topic of discussion. However, they never really paid much attention to it. Once, when Arjun was in a live-in relationship with Gabriella, he was asked when he thought it would be appropriate to get married for the second time. The actor, during one of his interviews, said that marriage is just a piece of paper.

Speaking to Pinkvilla a few years back, Arjun, who was dating Gabriella for about 3 years back then, said that it occurred to him that he had known his partner for decades. He further praised his ladylove, saying that she is an avid reader, so much so that she reads about two books per week. Arjun revealed how both of them share an interest in their fitness journey. Lockdown helped both of them to form a stronger bond. Speaking about the same, Arjun back then said:

"So her mind, her sense of style, fashion, fun, humour, all these things matter. We both are into fitness. She was a new mom and with not that much help around because of the pandemic so we had to be so hands on. So it has been wonderful. She has been a tremendous support to me. I love to pick her brain, pull her leg."
