Arjun Rampal and his girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades welcomed their first child, a son on July 18. Since then the couple has been busy with their parental duties but they still manage to share some super adorable glimpses of their cute lil son Arik.

While Arjun already has two teenage daughters, Maahika and Myra from his previous marriage, it was an altogether new experience for Gabriella. In a recent interview, the South African model opened up about how she is learning to embrace motherhood and why Arjun is a hands-on father.

Speaking about how she decided to have this baby with Arjun, Gabriella told Mid-day, “I would look at people having babies, and think ‘I don’t know if I want to do this’. But it all happened very organically, and it may sound like a cliche now, but it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I used to think I was in love [with Arjun], but then Arik happened.”

Sharing about Arjun’s support all throughout her pregnancy Gabriella said, “All during the pregnancy, which was hard, my mother would tell me, ‘wait till you see the baby’. While Arjun has done this before, and so, was calm, and was with me every step of the way, I didn’t have a reference point. I think he is going to be a great dad. He is so hands-on that sometimes I say ‘give me my son back’.”

She went on to reveal that it was Arjun, who happens to be a nationalist, named their son Arik which means ruler of rulers. While all she wanted was a name that her family could easily pronounce.
