Gracie Abrams is not only dominating charts with her The Story of Us album and red carpets with her chic fashion choices, but she also may have just snapped up one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors: Paul Mescal.
On Sunday, June 30, the singer and the actor were spotted at BRAT restaurant in London, where eyewitnesses took some sneaky photos of the two getting close across the table.
Photos published by TMZ (see here) show them laughing over drinks and sharing plates, and at one point, it even looks like Mescal reaches over to carress Abrams’ face.
Despite rumours of the Normal People star seeing Australian actress Sophie Wilde, and physically running away from bad dates, Mescal, 28, hasn’t been confirmed to be dating anyone since his engagement to Phoebe Bridgers fell through.
Abrams, 24, has also not been connected to anyone since she split with Blake Slatkin in 2022 after five years together.
Who knows, maybe even Connell himself is the subject of Abrams’ ‘Risk’ song, which tells the story of a consuming crush Abrams has on someone she hasn’t even met. At the start of the song, she sings:
Know you had a girl, but it didn’t work out /
Know you bought a house, but you had to move out
The line could easily reference Mescal’s relationship with Bridgers, with whom he allegedly purchased a farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland before they broke up.
While it’s still too soon to say if this is just another friendly catchup—albeit an affectionate one—we can’t help but think there’s something more to this one…
