Love triangles, broken vows, and romantic twists have abounded since Emily’s neighbor Gabriel first appeared in Netflix’s Emily in Paris.

Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) from Emily in Paris has had one of the most intricate relationship timelines of any character on the show, and things have only gotten more complicated after season 3. Debuting in 2020, the Netflix hit series follows the eponymous marketing executive from Chicago (Lily Collins) who gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work for a firm in Paris. Popular for its rewatchability and romantic storylines, Emily in Paris has proven to be quite popular across its first three seasons. Aside from its lavish Parisian environs and trendy fashion, Emily in Paris soars because of its strong characters, including Emily’s successful chef neighbor, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo).

Introduced in season 1, episode 1, “Emily in Paris”, Gabriel has represented the heart of Emily’s Paris experience both figuratively and literally. Much like Emily herself, Gabriel’s successful career has soared across the show’s three seasons, but his romantic exploits have been notoriously hit-or-miss. Though many critics misunderstand Emily in Paris, it is the tumultuous relationships that help to make the show so enjoyable. The relationship drama surrounding Gabriel is just one small piece of Emily in Paris‘ much larger story.

Emily In Paris Season 1: Gabriel Is Dating Camille But Likes Emily (And They Sleep Together)

Emily thinks Gabriel is leaving Paris when they spend the night together

From the moment they met in Emily in Paris, it was clear that Gabriel and Emily had a spark between them. The pair started as neighbors in the same building, and met when Emily accidentally tried to enter his apartment. The pair soon began to flirt, and Gabriel showed his interest in Emily by going above and beyond in helping her out of the many jams that she frequently found herself in. Being a native French speaker, he assisted Emily through many of her social faux pas, and it began to be obvious that he was much more than just a friendly neighbor.

Things got complicated for Gabriel in Emily in Paris when, in season 1, episode 4, “A Kiss is Just a Kiss”, Emily kisses Gabriel without knowing that he has a girlfriend. Even worse, Gabriel’s girlfriend is Camille (Camille Razat), a new friend of Emily’s who caught the two kissing but didn’t realize it was romantic. Gabriel and Emily then decided to take romance off the table and continued on as platonic friends. However, that arrangement didn’t last long as Emily drunkenly kissed him again in season 1, episode 7, “French Ending”.

Gabriel’s romantic entanglement with Emily didn’t put a strain on his relationship with Camille, his reluctance to accept a loan from Camille’s parents drove a wedge between them that sent him toward Emily. However, Emily rebuffed him because she didn’t want to hurt Camille. Gabriel eventually found a restaurant he could afford in Normandy, and his relationship with Camille ended because of his impending move. In season 1, episode 10, “Cancel Couture”, Gabriel slept with Emily on his last night in Paris, but they agreed that a relationship wasn’t possible because of Camille’s feelings. However, Gabriel received another job offer and stayed in Paris.

Emily In Paris Season 2: Gabriel Gets Back With Camille Though Emily Wants To Be With Him

Emily starts dating Alfie but still carries a torch for Gabriel

After all the complicated twists and turns for Gabriel during Emily in Paris season 1, his romantic exploits during season 2 were somewhat more subdued but no less enthralling. Gabriel decided to stay in Paris and open a restaurant at the end of season 1, and that put Emily in a difficult spot as she still harbored feelings for him but was unwilling to act. Not wanting to hurt Camille, Emily began pursuing a relationship with new Emily in Paris fan-favorite character Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) much to the chagrin of Gabriel who was more or less forced to watch.

Meanwhile, Camille began growing increasingly suspicious of Gabriel and his choices, and she finally learned the truth about him and Emily when she discovered one of his pans in Emily’s kitchen in season 2, episode 3, “Bon Anniversaire!”. Despite that confrontation, Emily and Camille smoothed things over and made a pact to choose their friendship over dating Gabriel. Though she denied it through most of season 2, Emily chose Gabriel after much soul-searching, and was prepared to tell him how she felt until Camille revealed she had gotten back together with him in season 2, episode 10, “French Revolution”.

Season 3: Gabriel Proposes To Camille But She Leaves Him At The Altar Because He Still Loves Emily

Gabriel also drops the bombshell that Camille is pregnant

After the revelation about her feelings regarding Gabriel in Emily in Paris season 2, Emily was somewhat left in the lurch as his relationship with Camille began to pick up where it left off in season 1. At the start of the season, Camille moved back in with Gabriel, and he continues to expand upon the early successes of his new restaurant. That busy schedule drove another wedge between them though, and Emily’s constant presence was also met with suspicion from Camille. Camille eventually decided to travel to Greece for a work opportunity, and Gabriel, Alfie, and Emily traveled to Provence in season 3, episode 6, “Ex-en-Provence”.

Long before the shocking ending of Emily in Paris season 3, the trio’s trip to Provence hinted that things weren’t right in Gabriel and Camille’s relationship. Emily and Gabriel went out to lunch together, and they were constantly complimented on being a beautiful couple. In season 3, episode 7, “How to Lose a Designer in 10 Days”, Gabriel drunkenly confided in Emily that he suspected that Camille was having an affair in Greece, and Emily was unable to tell him what she knew about Camille and Sofia’s (Melia Kreiling) romantic relationship. But Gabriel and Camille made up upon her return and she proposed to him.

Season 3, episode 10, “Charade” was an appropriate title for the shocking events that ruined what was supposed to be Camille and Gabriel’s special day. Emily learned that Gabriel’s restaurant would be receiving a Michelin star which caused the elated chef to kiss her hand in excitement. Camille witnessed the kiss, and it was the last straw. Camille then revealed to the gathered wedding party her pact with Emily not to date Gabriel. This caused Alfie to break up with Emily, as Camille stormed off. In a final shocking twist, Gabriel revealed that Camille was pregnant with his baby, which necessitated the hasty engagement.
