When did Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal start dating?
Abrams and Mescal were first linked in June 2024 when TMZ obtained photos of them at a restaurant in London. Subsequent sightings that summer seemingly confirmed the relationship, but Mescal was adamant in interviews that he was keeping details about his personal life private moving forward.
“Giving strangers an answer about my life doesn’t actually help me,” the Normal People star told Vanity Fair in February 2023, following his breakup from Phoebe Bridgers.
He reiterated this in an interview with GQ the following year, telling the mag, “[I’ve] learned that there’s certain lines in the sand now for me that just are going to be impenetrable for the benefit of my own sanity. The speculation has been kind of mad for the last x amount of years. I’m not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life.”
In November 2024, Abrams joined Mescal at the premiere of Gladiator II. Although they did not walk the red carpet together (they still have not done so more than a year later), they posed for photos together inside the event.
The pair hard-launched their relationship on Instagram in June 2025, but Mescal refused to answer questions about why he was ready to do so. “Everything to do with that is deeply precious to me, and I don’t want to. … This isn’t … I don’t really … umm … I want to protect those things fundamentally,” he told Rolling Stone in September 2025.
