Who Is Emilio Sakraya? Meet Rosalía’s Rumored Boyfriend, Actor

Rosalía seems to have a new man in her life.

Fresh off a string of high-profile romances (and one headline-making engagement), the Motomami singer is reportedly cozying up to someone new: German actor and musician Emilio Sakraya. The pair were recently spotted together, sparking speculation that the Spanish pop star has found her next muse.

Rosalía’s dating history reads like a pop culture timeline. She was previously linked to The Bear star Jeremy Allen White, with their last public sighting in Paris during the Olympics. Before that, she shared a brief but meaningful romance with Euphoria's Hunter Schafer, who confirmed in a GQ interview that the two dated for about five months in 2019 and still consider each other family. And who could forget her years-long relationship with fellow artist Rauw Alejandro, which included multiple collaborations, a joint EP, and even an engagement before they called it quits in 2023.

Now, fans are switching into full detective mode, asking: Who exactly is Emilio Sakraya? Keep scrolling to get the scoop on his rising star power, musical talents, and what might’ve caught Rosalía’s eye.

Who Is Emilio Sakraya?

At just 28 years old, Emilio Sakraya has already carved out a name for himself on screen and in the studio. It seems he’s only getting started.

The Berlin-born actor got his start at nine years old, with his film debut in Zeiten ändern dich (2010). Fast-forward to 2019, and he received international attention as JC in Netflix’s cult fantasy series Warrior Nun, later appearing in Tribes of Europa by Philip Koch. He solidified his star power in 2022, taking home a Shooting Stars Award, recognizing him as one of Europe’s top emerging talents. He also earned critical acclaim for his powerful turn as real-life rapper Xatar in Rhinegold the same year.

But Sakraya isn’t just a force in front of the camera. He released his debut single “Down by the Lake” in 2016, later dropping his first full-length album Roter Sand in 2020. His latest single, “Cacio e Pepe” (2024), offered a glimpse into his personal life, where he reveals he’s now a father—though true to form, he keeps most of his personal life tightly guarded.

Rosalía’s New Boyfriend?

Rosalía and Sakraya were spotted in a loving embrace outside Cipriani in Beverly Hills on April 12, where the two shared a warm embrace and forehead kiss that sent the internet into detective mode. Though they reportedly arrived separately, they left the celeb-favorite hotspot together, sparking dating rumors that have only intensified since Rosalía followed Sakraya on Instagram back in February.

Neither party has confirmed the romance just yet, but their recent outing has fans in a frenzy. Could he be her new boyfriend?
