The actor, who's played a love interest for the title character in Netflix's *Emily in Paris* since 2020, confessed that he's traveled the world in the name of love.

"Seven hours, because I was working," Bravo said. "I had like 24 hours, and my partner was feeling lonely, so I took a plane seven hours. I just surprised her, hugged her, spent a little time with her, comforting her, and then I left for the airport. I spent 14 hours in the sky for a 10-minute hug."

Bravo didn't name the recipient of his gesture. While he publicly dated actress Shailene Woodley, the star of *Big Little Lies* and *Divergent*, in 2025, he's kept other relationships private.

The latest episodes, released in December 2025, teased that Bravo's Gabriel and Emily were likely getting back together in Greece. He invited her to join him there during his time off from work after learning that, yes, she's single again.

"I just heard about Monaco. Greece," Bravo said. "I had a feeling because of the way we left last season. I'm just excited to be — you know, it's kind of a dream job already, but to have the opportunity to do it on a beach, in such a beautiful place. Greece is a dream. I go there on vacation, so to be working there is going to be kinda meta."

Gabriel and Emily "reconnected in a nice way," show creator Darren Starr told Deadline in December. "Where that takes them, I think it definitely hints at the idea that they'll stay in each other's lives."

Fans will learn what happens next on the show in the highly anticipated sixth season.

** confirmed last week that the upcoming episodes would be set in Monaco and, yes, Greece. The new season begins production in May.
