Just last month they were spotted passionately snogging at the airport after having jetted off on a romantic break.
But now, Emma was seen going to extreme lengths to avoid being papped with Jay Shetty, 38, according to The Mail‘s source.
Emma reportedly had dinner with the former monk and now lifestyle guru at a lavish LA restaurant last week.
The 35-year-old made her swift departure using a different exit to podcast host Jay, the source said.
Taking their seemingly well-thought-out exit a step further, The Mail’s eagle-eyed onlooker told how the pair even “swapped cars,” in a bid to baffle the paps.
In September last year, Emma, who is a PHD student at Oxford, appeared on Jay’s podcast, On Purpose With Jay Shetty.
The pair got into a deep conversation on Emma’s love life and she told how marriage is “a miracle,” and while she hopes it may one day happen to her, she doesn’t feel “entitled to it.”
Since the podcast aired, it seems Jay and Emma have struck up a close friendship – so why make a great escape?
It’s not the first time they have been spotted out on the town together, according to The Mail.

Jay and his wife influencer Radhi Devlukia married in a traditional Hindu ceremony back in 2016.
Celebrating his wedding anniversary back in 2020, he said: “Your laugh is infectious, your dances are hilarious and your heart is so so deep.
“You’re my spiritual inspiration and guide in SO many ways! Thank you for being my wife and loving me!”
Meanwhile, actress Emma is thought to be loved up with her boyfriend Gonzalo.
They didn’t appear to care who saw them last month as she embraced the businessman as they walked through Mexico City airport.
Gonzalo, who is one of Mexico’s most eligible bachelors, is said to be taking his relationship with Emma very seriously – having already introduced her to his parents, a source told The Daily Mail.

She appeared to put her band’s woes to one side as she posed for pictures with her longtime friend Holly, 45.
Baby Spice got into the spirit of things by donning a pair of Mickey Mouse ears as well as a tie with the famous character on it.
She looked chic in a white shirt tucked into a pair of straight leg jeans and a cream wool coat.
Emma wore her blonde locks straight and opted for a subtle make-up look.
Meanwhile, Holly wore a black t-shirt tucked into jeans with a black coat and some brown boots.
She too got into the Disney spirit with a set of ears as the two put on their widest smiles for photos.
The two women have been firm friends for several years and are often spotted socialising with their group of friends, including Melanie Blatt and Christine Lampard.
Emma’s appearance comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that the Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary reunion has been cancelled after they failed to pull their plans together in time.
Emma, as well as Mel C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell-Horner had been in talks to reunite for a string of concerts to mark three decades since the release of their debut single Wannabe.
The Sun understands they failed to reach an agreement and plans for a comeback tour in 2026 have been ditched.
Confirming the news during an interview on The Smallzy Show on Australia’s KIIS Radio, Mel C, 52, said: “No, there is no reunion.
“We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.
“But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.”
The Sun told last April how Geri, 53, was back in touch with the band’s former manager Simon Fuller and had flown out to Miami to try and agree on a deal.

As recently as January, Mel C had insisted they were still in active discussions about celebrating the milestone.
And even Victoria, 51, had prompted hopes she could return to the group, saying she “loves” the idea of a residency at Las Vegas venue Sphere.
She said in October of the prospect: “It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job…
“How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it. I mean I don’t know if I could even still sing, I mean I was never that great!”
However, in recent weeks, plans have fallen apart, with just a collectible coin from the Royal Mint being announced to mark the anniversary.
A planned Netflix drama based on the group was shelved last month amid reported tensions in the group.
The Spice Girls have not performed together as a five-piece since the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.
They last reunited without Posh in 2019 for a sold out 13-date stadium tour of the UK and Ireland, selling 700,000 tickets and making £4.4m each.

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from this week’s Miami Open as she continues her recovery from a recent illness.
The British number one became unwell while playing in the Middle East last month, and is still suffering with post-viral symptoms.
Raducanu decided to play last week’s event in Indian Wells, and reached the third round before losing in just 52 minutes to the world number six Amanda Anisimova.
The 23-year-old has 215 ranking points to defend from reaching the quarter-finals in Miami last year, but has decided it would be best to take a break to recover fully.
Raducanu beat both Anisimova and the then top 10 player Emma Navarro before losing to Jessica Pegula in three sets in last year’s quarter-finals.
This year she had a first-round bye, and could have played British childhood rival Sonay Kartal in the second round.
Raducanu had already decided not to play in Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie in Melbourne next month, but is currently scheduled to return to the tour in three weeks’ time.
She has entered the WTA event in Linz, which would be her first clay-court tournament of the season.
WHEN Gaz Beadle and Emma McVey announced their split in 2023, their fans were shocked.
Geordie Shore lothario Gaz had always described the model, who he had two children with, as his ‘rock’. But, just months after she underwent heart surgery, Gaz announced their eight-year relationship was over. Now, insiders tell us tension has been bubbling behind the scenes.

Things are said to have reached boiling point after Gaz announced he was expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, Maia, 13 years his junior.
Our insider says: “Gaz and Emma have both moved on and are in happy, loving relationships with new people.
“But fans have noticed there is a level of competitiveness between them, and they seem to be trying to outdo each other.
“Emma got engaged, and then Gary announced he was having a baby. It was a huge shock and very eye-opening.
“She feels like she has a very small group of loyal friends, and exactly who they are has become very clear since her split from Gary.”
It’s certainly not the first time Emma has been blindsided by Gaz – she was shocked when he announced they had split during a Q&A with fans.
He casually revealed they had split three weeks prior and insisted there was no bad blood between the couple, who share kids Chester, eight, and Primrose, six.
Sources said Emma felt it was ‘unfair’ and was keen to announce it to her own followers herself.
She didn’t shy away from how hard the breakup was, in contrast to Gaz’s laissez-faire attitude.
In a heartbreaking post, she told her followers: “It’s been really hard for me and the kids to be separated. There’s been a lot of crying on FaceTime, which really breaks my heart.
“I’ve been numb and focusing on my children while still trying to work. I’ve honestly not known what to say. I’m hoping this will get easier in time.
“Sending so much love to anyone going through something similar, and thank you so much to everyone who has been checking in on me.”

And when she moved on with a new man and a fan accused her of being unfaithful, she shot back with a jibe that appeared to be aimed at Gary: “I was unfaithful? What with someone I met 7 months after my separation? No darlin, you clearly have NO IDEA who was unfaithful.”
Our insider continued: “There was tension from the get-go but they masked it pretty well. They both doted on their kids whenever they had them, but fans noticed how they often posted competing snaps. If Gary took them to the park, the next week Emma took them to a theme park.”
Cheating allegations
Emma and Gaz first started dating in 2016, but just a year later, they called time on their relationship, with Emma accusing Gaz of cheating and dumping her by text.
She ranted: “When he’s been filming Geordie Shore, he decided to send me a TEXT ending things, telling me to move my stuff out of OUR home that I furnished and paid for without explanation.

“After begging me to go to Australia with him and making me leave my career, I still find out he still managed to cheat on me throughout our relationship and continually lie.”
But the pair reconciled, and in 2017, they announced they were having a baby. Their son Chester was born in January 2018, and their second child, a daughter named Primrose, was born in December 2019.
Gary popped the question while she was pregnant with baby number two – the whole thing was filmed.
They tied the knot in 2021 in front of 90 guests and their kids in Cheshire.
Bedding 1000 women
Gary appeared to be a very different man – his wild Geordie Shore days were well in the past.
He once boasted about sleeping with over 1000 women – his tumultuous relationship with Charlotte Crosby was well documented – but after quitting the show in 2017, he turned his life around.
He told us previously: “My life couldn’t be more different.
“My DM’s have changed dramatically, I can tell you that. It’s gone from mum’s wanting to shag me to mums and dads talking about colic, acid reflux, nappies, and bath toys.
“I had ten-years of partying and doing whatever I wanted. I was so used to life being all about me then I had a baby and quickly realised life wasn’t about me anymore.”
It wasn’t an easy time for any of them, as Emma suffered a series of debilitating health issues
The model, who once dated Towie’s Mario Falcone, had no idea she’d been born with three holes in her heart until a monitor was fitted following her second pregnancy.

She’d suffered years of seizures, exhaustion and fainting episodes – but while the diagnosis was illuminating, medics were cautious about operating because Emma is also battling ulcerative colitis.
The condition, which affects roughly one in 420 in the UK, causes ulcers and inflammation in the digestive tract.
The steroid treatment used to treat it can lead to bone loss and breakage, which doctors warned could stop Emma’s bones from fusing back together.
I thought, ‘I’m going to get put to sleep and I’m not coming back out’.
Emma, on her heart surgery
Around Christmas time of 2023, her tricuspid valve – the valve between the two right chambers of the heart – further deteriorated, and the decision was made to proceed with the op in spite of the risks.
She later said: “I knew in surgery I’d be connected to a heart machine that would be keeping me alive while my heart was stopped, and I kept thinking, ‘They’re not going to be able to start my heart again’.
“I thought, ‘I’m going to get put to sleep, and I’m not coming back out’.”
It was a life-changing experience for all the family, and made their split even more surprising.
It wasn’t long until they both moved on, though. Emma started dating electrician James Staszewsky, and he became a huge part of her life and that of the kids as they set up home.
Gary had a brief romance with pro golf star Charley Hull, before falling for student Maia.
In what some felt was a dig at influencer Emma, Gary gushed about Maia: “I like how she’s got a normal job. Like, she got in at 8 o’clock this morning after leaving at half past 7 last night… 13 hours. She’s doing it again tonight, it’s inspirational.

“It almost brings me down a peg and I think that’s why I’m getting more normal and normal.
“I just love to pop to the pub for a bit of food and a walk with the dog, cutting the grass, like, I’ve become quite a normal boring person.”
The romances both came under fire and in a very surprising move they joined forces once again in order to issue a lengthy statement in which they addressed their marriage ending and the attention their new romances had gained.
‘One team’
Gaz hit back to insist they are “really good friends” and that they are both “happy and happy for one another” despite being in “new relationships”.
He added: “Both of us are in new relationships and we all get along well, and we can say we are so proud of ourselves to be able to all stay as one team.”
We’re told it was a brief period of calm for all parties involved but it wasn’t long that changed.
Gaz’s baby news was said to be one of those moments that rocked the boat.
Only a couple of years ago, Gaz had told The Sun he wouldn’t be having more kids, he said: “Two is hard enough. I think if you asked us before we may have said three but that was before we realised how hard it is.
“If we had two boys or two girls, then maybe it would be different but we have one of each, which is perfect.”
