Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams just made their red carpet debut as a couple—and the chemistry was so electric, even the ancient Romans would’ve dropped their goblets.
The Gladiator II after party in Los Angeles last night was the backdrop for this momentous occasion, where 28-year-old Paul and his 25-year-old singing sweetheart Gracie decided to bless us mere mortals with their presence. They posed for photos, radiating the kind of couple energy that says, “We just ate all the charcuterie at craft services, and we’d do it again.”
A Love Story Fit for the Colosseum
These two lovebirds have been linked since June, and honestly, it feels like a rom-com just waiting to happen. Picture it: Gracie sings melancholic love songs while Paul gazes soulfully into the middle distance. He’s been her personal groupie lately, spotted supporting her at shows like he’s auditioning for the role of World’s Best Boyfriend™.
And get this—Paul even introduced Gracie to one of his celeb buddies for a double date this summer. We’re talking about the kind of friendship where you split the check but secretly hope the actor pays.
Plot Twist: A Taylor Swift Connection
Here’s where things get spicy. Gracie used to tour with none other than Taylor Swift herself—and wait for it—Paul’s ex, Phoebe Bridgers, during the Eras Tour. Talk about a musical Venn diagram that’s just one sad breakup song away from being a Netflix docuseries.
Paul’s Gladiator Moment
Meanwhile, Paul is gearing up to hit the big screen in Gladiator II, a sequel no one knew they needed until now. It hits theaters this Friday, so mark your calendars and prepare for Paul to don some armor and probably brood a lot. Gracie’s probably already written a ballad called “My Boyfriend, the Gladiator.”
Love, drama, and a dash of historical epic—what more could you want? Stay tuned for more Mescal-Abrams Chronicles.
