Lewis Tan Used to Date Model Emi Renata Sakamoto
Despite his movie-star looks and charm, it seems as if Tan is footloose and fancy-free. His only confirmed relationship to date has been with personal trainer and model Emi Renata.
Tan revealed in an an interview that his work makes it very difficult to date and develop a serious relationship.
Born and raised in Brazil, Emi Renata moved to Japan at 16 and quickly established herself as a successful model and influencer. The model is also passionate about wellness and fitness and has developed programs to help people achieve both.
It's not known how the two met, but Emi Renata and Lewis worked together in a Nivea ad for the Asian market in 2013.
Glimpses of their relationship were shared through their social media accounts, with Tan showing up in Emi Renata's birthday post in 2015, captioned:
"A few bottles later....🎉🍷 #birthday#love"
In 2016, Tan shared a lovely black-and-white snap of himself and Emi Renata in Barcelona, Spain. But shortly after that, it seems as if the romance ended, and they never appeared on social media together again.
Nor did the two celebrities ever comment on their relationship, or what had brought their romance to an end. Emi Renata is Tan's only confirmed girlfriend.

In 2021, Tan revealed in an an interview that his work makes it very difficult to date and develop a serious relationship. He said:
"I’m not in the same place for very long. I can be somewhere for six months, and then I’ll be in a different country for another six months. Sometimes I’m not even home for 80% of the year."
The actor revealed that for him, love is not about constant glamour; its about understanding, acceptance, and sometimes, sacrifice. He admitted that he is looking for someone sufficiently secure to withstand the stress and hype of dating a celebrity.
