Looks like the romance between pop sensation Gracie Abrams and her boyfriend, Paul Mescal, is still going strong.
On March 26, 2025, the lovebirds were spotted enjoying a casual brunch date at the iconic Empire Diner in New York City. Their outing was captured by a passerby who shared the image exclusively with gossip site Deuxmoi.
For the date, the couple opted for coordinating all-black ensembles, with Gracie wearing an oversized hoodie, her head tucked into the hood. Meanwhile, Mescal sported what appeared to be a thick woolen jacket.
In the leaked image, the duo sat across from each other at a table, each with a cup of coffee in front of them. The I Love You, I Am Sorry singer was seen licking her finger, while Paul stirred his cup with a silver spoon.
Their facial expressions remained neutral—Abrams focused on the table, while the Normal People star gazed directly at her. Both seemed completely unaware of the camera capturing their private moment.
Gracie Abrams Hints At Romance With Paul Mescal In Rare Interview
Known for keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, Gracie and Paul have remained tight-lipped about their love story.
However, in February 2025, during an exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Gracie offered a rare glimpse into her love life with the actor. While she didn’t mention Mescal by name, she spoke candidly about being in a healthy relationship, sharing,
“What I love about a healthy relationship is that… you just fit into each other in a way that feels positive and deeply supportive. My current form of love feels like home no matter where I am. If you’ve ever felt unsafe in a relationship, it’s really evident when you do feel safe in one… There’s literally nothing better than being with somebody where you’re not putting on a performance”.

Prior to their leaked brunch date, the couple’s last public sighting was in December 2024, when they were seen arriving together at the iconic Saturday Night Live (SNL) venue in New York City, where Abrams was set to make her highly anticipated debut on the show.
In a fan-captured video uploaded on X the following day, the rumored couple was spotted holding hands as they stepped out of the same black van, both dressed in matching black ensembles.
Paul confidently led the way, firmly holding onto Gracie’s hand as he hurried past the cameras. Meanwhile, the singer briefly paused to flash a warm smile and greet fans gathered outside the venue.

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams were first romantically linked in June 2024 after being spotted together on a secret lunch date in London. A few months later, in November 2024, they made their subtle red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of Mescal’s film, Gladiator II.
Despite growing speculation, the pair has kept their relationship largely under wraps, never publicly confirming their romance.
Whether they’re keeping things low-key or dropping subtle hints, one thing’s for sure, Gracie and Paul have everyone hooked.
Will they ever make it official, or will their love story remain Hollywood’s best-kept secret? Only time will tell.
