Ratajkowski shared various photos on a recent post, showing her in New York enjoying the snowy weather alongside Gavras, who's seen holding her and kissing her cheek in one of the images, as the two enjoy a glass of wine. 

Another photo shows the two at a restaurant, with Ratajkowski pulling her tongue out for the camera and Gavras looking at the lens with a straight face. 

More images show the two on walks through the snowy streets, with Gavrais wearing a bulky hat and Ratajkowski wearing a tank top that showed off her abs as she raised her arms in the snowfall. She concluded the post with a photo of her and Gavras shoes touching.

While Ratajkowski didn't add a caption, her followers and friends left romantic comments. "YES to finding love again," reads one of them.

"Oh we love to see it," reads a second comment.

Since her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022, Ratajkowski has been romantically linked with various notorious men, including Harry Styles, Pete Davidson, and others. Only a few have been featured on her social media, like Eric Andre and now Gavras.

“So, it seems that a lot of young ladies are getting divorced before they turn 30,” said Ratajkowski in a viral TikTok. “As someone who got married at 26 [who] has been separated for a little over a year [at] 32, I have to tell you, I don’t think there’s anything better."

"Being in your 20s is the trenches," she concluded.
