Lucas Bravo<\/strong> addressed Gabriel\u2019s absence from Emily in Paris<\/em><\/a> before his return in season 6.<\/p>\n

Bravo, 38, joked about his character playing a larger role<\/a> in the upcoming season after missing several episodes, exclusively telling Us Weekly<\/em> on Friday, April 10, at a PaleyFest event, \u201cHe just wanted to be desired, so he took a little step back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor said he\u2019s excited to dive<\/a> back into Gabriel\u2019s arc.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good [because] it leaves more space for other stories to be told,\u201d he noted. \u201cI feel like Gabriel needed a little breather and now he\u2019s coming back in the sun \u2014 in Greece \u2014 and it\u2019s gonna be a fun season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGabriel is missing from most of Emily in Paris season 5 \u2014 but what caused Lucas Bravo\u2018s onscreen absence? Netflix released season 5 on Thursday, December 18, with Gabriel briefly visiting Rome before returning to Paris. He became frustrated by his restaurant and ultimately took a new job opportunity that required him to work on [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bravo rose to fame playing Gabriel on Emily in Paris<\/em> when it debuted in 2020. The show follows an American named Emily (Lily Collins<\/strong>) who moves to Paris for a job and ends up in several love triangles with Gabriel.<\/p>\n

When season 5 aired in December 2025, Bravo was noticeably missing from several<\/a> episodes before returning at the end as Gabriel wrote a letter to Emily about them reuniting in Greece.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we know is that we\u2019re going to Greece and Monaco,\u201d Bravo told Us<\/em>. \u201cWe have no script. I have no idea. I do want them to be happy and in love because they\u2019ve been working on it for six or seven years now.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI hope it happens. I think some people want that, but whoever Emily ends up with will be the perfect choice because she knows better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bravo also weighed in on Bryan Greenberg making an appearance in season 5 as Emily\u2019s love interest Jake, adding, \u201cI love Jake \u2014 that\u2019s an actor I\u2019ve been I love for a long time. Seeing him joining the Emily in Paris family was huge. Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get to meet him on set, but I hope he makes a comeback in season 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Emily\u2019s love life remaining a focal point<\/a> on the show, director and executive producer Andrew Fleming urged viewers not to give up hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe eternal question, the question for the ages,\u201d he teased about Emily and Gabriel\u2019s possible reunion. \u201cI can confirm that Lucas Bravo will be on the show. So make of that what you will.\u201d<\/p>\n
