However, this is not her first red carpet appearance.
They were next to each other at the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 3, 2023 in Los Angeles, but they were not affectionate and she seemed more like a “friend” than a love interest .
In September 2023, she told People Living in Athens, Greece that she was in a relationship.
They met in a “very romantic way” in 2022, he told the site.
'We met at an outdoor restaurant in Greece on a full moon night. “It's like I wrote a movie and walked into it,” the Hollywood veteran said.

They were last seen on a carpet at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills in December 2023.
The timing was good because he had finished his work.
“I think you should look like a Barbie doll when you shoot.
'You don't have sex. No
'When you shoot a movie, you go through it and you do your job. No crying. That's why I don't believe in relationships while making a film,” he added.
She did not name him at the time.
“I learned to keep things secret,” he said.
“I'm trying to keep the relationship I have now as private as possible to preserve its beauty.”
They were side by side at the third annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 3, 2023 in Los Angeles.
She separated from her husband, actor Ian Gomez, in 2018 after more than two decades of marriage.
They share a teenage daughter, Ilaria, with their ex.
After the breakup, she took a break from dating.
'So I tried not to think of myself that way, because no young man wants to hear or know what his mother is doing. “I think a young man should be selfish and live life thinking only of himself,” Varthalos said.
Gómez, Vardalos' ex, who starred in the first two films, did not want to star again.
She said she was not hurt, but rather “perplexed.”
