Spoiler alert: As ruining the plot is never in fashion, we suggest you watch Season 5 of “Emily in Paris” (currently streaming) prior to reading.
Has Emily and Gabriel’s ship sailed?
Midway, in Season 5 of “Emily in Paris” (now streaming on Netflix) one sizzling chef (Lucas Bravo) revealed to our titular Francophile (Lily Collins) that he’d be leaving his Michelin-star rated restaurant to work on a yacht as a private chef.
Emily, who spends most of the season in a relationship with sexy Italian Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) – only to break up in the finale − handles Gabriel’s exit “with total grace and assuredness,” Collins tells USA TODAY. “I loved how both of them, this year, are on their own paths. They're the most honest they are with themselves and each other. Gabriel is going off to live his life and his dream, and Emily is there living her life and her dream, and she is genuinely OK saying goodbye to Marcello and Gabriel and just being with herself… And then they got to say a goodbye at a beautiful train station. I found it very emotional.”
Emily and Marcello break up in the finale because he has to run his family business from Italy, and she doesn’t want to abandon the life she’s built in Paris. At the aforementioned train station, Gabriel admits that he followed Emily to Rome, but let her be after seeing her happy with Marcello.
