Bollywood’s ultimate heartthrob, Arjun Rampal, is officially a married man once again! Putting an end to years of speculation, the Dhurandhar actor has legally tied the knot with his longtime South African partner, Gabriella Demetriades.
The couple, who have been setting major relationship goals since they started dating in 2018, opted for a quiet and intimate court marriage in Goa on Friday, August 21, 2026.
From the legal formalities to their beautiful love story, here is a complete breakdown of Arjun and Gabriella’s special day!
The Intimate Goa Court Marriage
Ditching the quintessential grand Bollywood wedding, Arjun Rampal and Gabriella chose a simple, hassle-free legal route. According to PTI reports, the couple officially registered their marriage at the Sub-Registrar’s office in Mapusa, North Goa.
The ceremony was incredibly low-key, with the couple arriving around 4:00 PM dressed in casual, relaxed attire, accompanied only by a few close friends.
Registered Under Goa’s Uniform Civil Code
Sub-Registrar Suraj Vernekar confirmed to the media that the union was registered under the state’s Uniform Civil Code. In a special move, the couple had successfully obtained permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor of the local court to waive the mandatory 15-day waiting period required between the first and second signatures.
While the formalities are complete, the official marriage certificate will be handed over to the newlyweds after 15 days. The couple currently resides together in Succoro village near Panaji, Goa.
A Look Back at Their Modern Love Story
Arjun and Gabriella’s relationship has always been refreshingly modern and unconventional. The duo started dating in 2018, shortly after Arjun announced his separation from his former wife, former supermodel Mehr Jesia (with whom he shares two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra).
Over their six years of togetherness, Arjun and Gabriella welcomed two beautiful sons—Arik in 2019 and Ariv in 2023.
Despite building a beautiful family, the couple was in no rush to get married. In a previous interview with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, Arjun candidly spoke about the institution of marriage, stating, “What is marriage? A piece of paper after all. I think we are already married and there is no doubt in my mind about that… In both our minds, we are married to each other.”
However, the dynamics shifted late last year. During an appearance on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast in December 2025, Arjun surprised fans by casually revealing that he and Gabriella had officially gotten engaged. When Gabriella mentioned on the show, “We are not married now, but who knows?”, Arjun quickly chimed in, saying, “We are engaged… We just broke it on your show.”
Now, in August 2026, the couple has officially sealed the deal, embarking on a beautiful new chapter as husband and wife!
