I think it’s fair to say the internet can agree on one thing: Paul Mescal is hot (whether he’s dead or a ghost). But the question is, is he single? It seems every time the man steps out of his front door and breathes in the direction of a living, breathing woman people start assuming Paul has entered a new flashy relationship. That was until Paul was seen having dinner with TikTok fave, Gracie Abrams, which made his latest relationship rumors seem for real this time. If you’re somehow not aware, Gracie became a borderline household name basically overnight (which I very scientifically gauge by whenever my mom finally asks who someone famous is) through her music keeping the TikTok girlies in a chokehold.
Now, The Normal People star and the not-so-secret nepo baby’s relationship, which has been mostly documented through papz photos, seems may have already come to an end?? And just when it felt safe to start shipping, damn. Let’s dive into Paul Mescal and Gracie Abram’s relationship timeline to find out the latest.
Did Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams Break Up?
On January 18, 2025, sources alleged that Paul and Gracie were seen having a tearful dinner in North London to The Daily Mail. According to the witnesses’ claims, Gracie was first visibly upset followed by Paul dropping “his head in his hands.” Oh my, that sounds like a very sad love song in the making!
The gawkers were “shocked at how public” the evident breakup was, which allegedly ended in Gracie leaving the restaurant with both parties in tears. Later that weekend, another anon source claimed to good ol’ DeuxMoi that Paul was still upset at a Sunday roast with his sibs. If these two are crying in the clerb about being over, let’s maybeeee give them some breathing room, folks.
Paul Mescal And Gracie Abrams’ Relationship Timeline
Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams were first linked in October 2023
Paul and Gracie were dating back in the fall of 2023, according to v serious news source DeuxMoi. These rumors came from an anonymous tip that said Paul — who dated Phoebe Bridgers for two years before their 2022 breakup — was spotted “hanging out” with Gracie.
Date night in June 2024
Photos of the pair dining together at BRAT in London made the rounds on June 30 (blindly assuming that’s a Charli XCX tribute restaurant). At one point it does look like Paul is reaching out to brush Gracie’s cheek which is blocked by a civilian’s poorly timed head movement. But it’s also possible she had lettuce in her teeth and he was getting it out for her, or something equally platonic, right? Delusional girlies, there’s your saving grace. In this house, when it calls to Paul Mescal locking someone down who isn’t Phoebe Bridgers, I’ll need to see it in writing to believe it.
Paul Mescal And Gracie Abrams’ romantic August 2024 date makes things look official
After speculation of a budding romance earlier in June, Paul and Gracie let the PDA rip on a date in the Mayfair neighborhood of London in August. Nosey fans (the best kind) in the crowd told The Daily Mail that the pair “didn’t seem shy” about their apparent relationship, holding hands and sharing kisses. Gracie and Paul were also spotted in July shopping on Bond Street on a break between her UK concert series. And even though I roll my eyes every time my friend publicly kisses her boyfriend (at the group hang he wasn’t invited to), in this case, I kinda get it. Nice work, hot rich people.
Kinda, sorta red carpet official in November 2024
In November, the two cuties attended the Gladiator II premiere party in Los Angeles. While they didn’t walk the red carpet together, there were plenty of photographers to capture their PDA indoors. In December, they were seen again supporting each other backstage at Saturday Night Live with Paul hosting on Dec 7 and Gracie performing as the musical guest a week later.
