Who else is Roman Gavras romantically involved with?
Gavras dated British singer Ora for six months in March 2021, but the Daily Mail reported that they broke up due to “work commitments”.
“Rita and Roman separated several months ago due to their respective work difficulties,” a spokesperson said. “They are still close friends.”
Rita Ora is currently married to director Taika Waititi.
Did Ripa post about him on Instagram?
While they were dating, yes. Ripa celebrated Gavras’ 42nd birthday on Instagram on July 4, 2023. “joyeux anniversaireeeee bebé 💞,” she wrote in French. Her message translates to “Happy birthday, baby.” She took the opportunity to share a rare personal photo of them together.
The pop star and Gavras were spotted out and about in London on Friday, July 21, the same night her movie Barbie was released, and they looked like they were having a lot of fun. Ripa was photographed laughing as she climbed into the back seat of a car with her then-boyfriend.
She wore a white blouse and straight jeans, black shoes, a black leather belt, and a matching handbag. Gavras was wearing a white T-shirt and a jacket that hid his face from the camera.
Did Ripa and Gavras travel together?
yes. While on vacation in August 2023, Ripa shared a photo of the two cuddling by the water. She tagged Gavras in an Aug. 14 post.
When did Gavras and Ripa break up?
In December 2023, a source told The Sun that the pair had parted ways after spending a fun summer together.
“Dua and Roman went their separate ways after a summer of love,” a source claimed. “She was putting on blinkers when it came to her career and the two ended their relationship before things got worse. Roman thought Dua was a workaholic, but she has no intention of slowing down for anything or anyone.”
Neither Gavras nor Dua Lipa have commented on the alleged breakup. In January 2024, Ripa spoke to Rolling Stone about being single. “I think dating as a whole is a little confusing,” she said. “You can meet new people through friends of friends or people you trust, because it’s not that easy for the average person.”
Has Gavras moved on after breaking up with Ripa?
On November 10, 2025, Gavras and Emily Ratajkowski were photographed in New York City, making their first public appearance together. The two were seen holding hands and kissing while taking a walk at night.
