Emily in Paris never fails to stir up drama, and with season 4 comes drama related to Genevieve.
After the release of Emily in Paris Season 4, fans started to question whether Genevieve and Gabriel would end up together, but the short answer for now is no.
While Genevieve does try to make a move on him, Gabriel never actually returns the same feelings as her. What then comes about is a messy mix of lies, misunderstandings, and one-sided attraction that complicates Emily's love life even more than it already is.
Let's break down exactly what happened between Genevieve and Gabriel.
Genevieve enters Emily’s world in Emily in Paris and sets her sights on Gabriel
When Genevieve was first seen in Emily in Paris Season 4, she came across as a character who was sweet and approachable. She was Sylvie's stepdaughter, from New York, and soon became Emily's work friend.
But that work friendship did not last long. Everything between them shifted and changed the minute Genevieve met Gabriel. Their first interaction happened during a video shoot at his restaurant, an event that Emily had organized.
That shoot is where things eventually took a turning point for the three of them. Emily hoped the event would give her and Gabriel a chance to talk, but instead, it brought all of their unresolved issues to the surface.
Gabriel opened up about how drained he felt - from their breakup, the Michelin star setback, and of course, Camille's lies.
Emily couldn't fully understand his words, so Genevieve offered to translate. Twist? She didn't translate the truth. Instead of sharing Gabriel's emotions and words, she twisted everything he said by telling Emily that Gabriel wanted nothing more to do with her.
That small but intentional lie in Emily in Paris was what set Genevieve's somewhat evil plans in motion. She wasted no time in taking advantage of Gabriel and his vulnerability. Drinks at his restaurant followed, and from the outside, it looked like she was sliding into the space Emily once held.
But fans watching knew it wasn't that simple.
The kiss, the rejection, and where Gabriel stands with Genevieve
The tension in Emily in Paris increased after Camille moved out of the apartment building, leaving Gabriel with one less tie to his complicated past. Genevieve took on that chance to get closer and moved in next door.
Emily confronted her more than once about the growing closeness, but Genevieve brushed it off as "work-related" or casual.
Still, she kept inserting herself into Gabriel's space and even started to invite him to parties, pitching him for events, and making sure they spent enough time together.
It all came to a head at her housewarming party. Out of nowhere, Genevieve kissed Gabriel, making it clear that her intentions weren't innocent at all. For a moment, it looked like this kiss might change everything. But Gabriel was firm and calm, and for him, the kiss was "just a moment" and nothing more.
He softly placed her in the friend zone, reminding her that he only saw her as a neighbor and a friend and nothing more could ever come to be.
By the finale of Emily in Paris, Genevieve's persistence faded away. Gabriel had no interest in her, and the storyline made that clear. While Genevieve's lies and manipulation created confusion for Emily, she never managed to win over Gabriel's heart.
For fans, the rejection was satisfying to watch, and it was a reminder that Gabriel's story with Emily still holds more importance than anyone else's advances.
Emily in Paris thrives on messy love triangles and unexpected rivalries, but the Genevieve and Gabriel storyline proves that not every setup turns into romance. Regardless of Genevieve's attempts, Gabriel never lets things go further than a drink or a momentary kiss. Instead, he draws his boundaries, leaving Genevieve in the friend zone.
As Emily in Paris moves towards its 5th season, one thing is certain: Gabriel's heart remains far more entangled with Emily than with anyone else.
