Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal's Recent Outing Provokes Relationship Speculations
Rumors are swirling around Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams, with recent events suggesting a romantic connection between the two. Despite their public appearances, neither Mescal nor Abrams has commented directly on their relationship. This is prepared by SSP.
This speculation intensified when the Daily Mail published photos of the Normal People star and the American indie-pop singer holding hands in London. Insiders further fueled dating rumors by revealing that Mescal and Abrams have been seeing each other but remain in the "early stages" of their relationship. A source stated, "They've been hooking up, and it's still early stages."
Witnesses have frequently spotted Mescal and Abrams around London over the past few months. On June 30, 2024, TMZ spotted the pair on a date at a restaurant, where Mescal was seen reaching out to touch Abrams’s face. Further speculation arose when they were seen shopping together in Mayfair on July 22, 2024, and a witness stated, "Paul and Gracie looked like any other young couple hitting the shops." Similarly, an onlooker noted how their outing in the posh shops on Bond Street went almost unnoticed due to their low-key nature.
In August 2024, they were seen again in London, reportedly holding hands and frequently kissing. A witness commented, "Paul and Gracie didn’t seem shy about their feelings for each other."
Further adding to this ongoing narrative, Abrams's recent album, The Secret of Us, released in June 2024, led fans to speculate about the nature of her relationship with Mescal. In particular, the song "Normal Thing" references her heartbreak over an actor, with lyrics seemingly tied to Mescal’s role in Normal People.
Additionally, the pair dined together in Shoreditch, as reported by TMZ, which only added more fuel to the rumors. Despite avoiding public declarations, Mescal has historically expressed a desire to keep his private life out of the limelight. In the Harper’s Bazaar September 2023 cover story, Mescal indicated the intense scrutiny involving his personal life, acknowledging a mix of palatable and devastating public interest.
Despite maintaining a low profile, their repeated public outings and signs of affection suggest there is something significant between the Aftersun actor and the indie-pop star. From speculative tracks in Abrams's music to sightings across London, all indications point toward an evolving relationship.
