Rosalía has been spotted once again with a man she was previously linked to. But this time, things seem more serious—the two were seen kissing in the streets of Munich. So, who is he? It’s Emilio Sakraya, a German actor.

The pair was caught looking affectionate on the sidewalk, both dressed casually: Rosalía wore an all-black outfit with a braid and a large scarf, while Emilio sported a green hoodie and baggy pants. Both looked effortlessly street-style, perhaps trying to stay low-key in the city.

Of course, what didn’t go unnoticed was the kiss they shared right there on the street.

However, if we go back a bit, this isn’t the first time the two have been seen together. They were first photographed in April, walking through Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, hugging and leaving a restaurant looking very close.

At the time, fans started speculating about a possible romance—even though all they had to go on was a friendly hug. But now, things appear to have taken a step forward. Rosalía and Emilio were seen again this May in Berlin, a city where he is known to live. They were also spotted leaving a gym together—another sign they’re spending plenty of time with each other.

Who is Emilio Sakraya?

Emilio Sakraya was born on June 29, 1996, in Berlin, Germany. He’s an actor and singer who has already carved out a space for himself in the international entertainment world. With a Moroccan mother and a Serbian father, he spent part of his childhood in Morocco and later studied at the Annie Heuser Waldorf School in Berlin.

From a young age, Emilio showed a passion not only for acting but also for martial arts. That interest led him to become Germany’s national karate champion in 2010 through the World Kickboxing Association. He got his first taste of acting at the age of nine, appearing in a commercial. That same year, he made his film debut in Zeiten ändern dich, directed by Bernd Eichinger.

Throughout his career, he’s taken part in numerous film and television projects. In 2017, his performance in an episode of Tatort: Söhne und Väter opened the door to a leading role in the comedy Kalte Füße.

Internationally, Emilio gained wider recognition for his role as JC in the Netflix fantasy series Warrior Nun, as well as for his appearance in Tribes of Europa.

In 2022, he portrayed rapper Xatar in the film Rheingold, directed by Fatih Akin—a role that earned him strong critical acclaim. And his career seems to be on an upward trajectory: there’s already speculation that he may be cast as Xaden Riorson in the upcoming screen adaptation of the hit book series Fourth Wing.
