Gabriella Demetriades: We're still thinking of baby names
Avinash Lohana (MUMBAI MIRROR; July 19, 2019)

Rumours that Arjun Rampal and partner Gabriella Demetriades had become parents started doing the rounds when the duo was spotted at a suburban hospital on Wednesday afternoon. The model-actress-designer’s parents flew in from South Africa earlier this week. Early on Thursday, the couple welcomed their son.

“Gabriella’s parents were at the hospital on Thursday morning, they left a little after noon, escorted by Arjun. His daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, were by their daddy’s side all day. Arjun’s friends will start visiting soon. Gabriella is expected to be discharged by Friday or Saturday,” informs a source close to the couple.

On Wednesday, Mirror had reached out to Arjun telling him we had heard that good news is on the way and that our prayers are with the two of them. He responded on Thursday, saying, “Thank you.”

In April this year, Arjun had posted a picture with a visibly pregnant Gabriella stating, “Blessed to have you and start all over again. Thank you baby for this baby.” In May, he hosted a baby shower for her at his Bandra residence where he had shifted since he parted with Mehr Jesia, after almost 20 years of marriage.

In an interview to Mirror (May 27) Arjun had revealed that he had met Gabriella through common friends. “It’s only been a year since we started dating and here we are. For keeps,” he had exulted.

Arjun’s Paltan director J P Dutta’s daughter Nidhi was among the first to congratulate him on Twitter. Speaking to us, she added, “Arjun gave me the news this morning. He’s over the moon. I’m so happy for him. Since Paltan, I have been very close to him and his family. So, it’s been a day of calling and congratulating each other. I will be visiting them today.”

Having dated for over a year, Arjun Rampal and girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades are ready to begin the new chapter of their lives. Three months after the actor shared the news of her pregnancy with his fans, the couple became proud parents to a baby boy yesterday. Rampal was a picture of happiness as he stepped out of the Khar hospital, hours after the baby's arrival, to escort his steady date's parents to their car. When mid-day congratulated Demetriades on motherhood and asked if the couple had decided on a name for the bundle of joy, she promptly replied over a message: "Not yet. Still thinking."

On Wednesday evening, the South African actor-model was admitted to the hospital. Soon after, Demetriades' parents and Rampal's daughters from his marriage with former model Mehr Jessia — Mahikaa, 17, and Myra, 14, — were seen by his side, ready to welcome the newest member of the family. 

Rampal and Demetriades went public with their relationship last October when they made a joint appearance at a brand event in Bordeaux, France.
