Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal confirmed their romance on Monday after months of speculation, with the couple packing on the PDA during a romantic outing in London.
The pop star, 24, had previously set tongues wagging that she was dating the Normal People star after they were spotted kissing during a dinner date in Mayfair.
And while Paul is well-known to British fans thanks to his string of acting roles, including the upcoming Gladiator II, Gracie career only began to take off this year, after supporting pal Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour.
The singer is no stranger to the Hollywood landscape either, as she is the daughter of Star Wars and Star Trek frontman JJ Abrams.

The brunette beauty is the daughter of Star Wars filmmaker legend J.J. Abrams – while her mother is producer Katie McGrath
While Gracie has been carving out her own career in music, she is also the daughter of Star Wars filmmaker legend J.J. Abrams – while her mother is producer Katie McGrath.
After being put into the ‘nepo baby ‘ category Gracie was quick to acknowledge earlier this year how lucky she is and to explain that her parents are kept far away from her music career.
In an interview with iHeart Radio, Abrams said, ‘There’s a privilege in having even grown up around the knowledge of what the entertainment world looks like at all…
‘But I definitely kept them so far out of it.
‘Songwriting, for me, was always just a personal outlet to deal with my experiences without having to talk to anyone, especially my parents for many years.’
Jeffrey is an American filmmaker and composer best known for his works in the genres of action, drama, and science fiction.
Abrams wrote and produced such films as Regarding Henry (1991), Forever Young (1992), Armageddon (1998), Cloverfield (2008), Star Trek (2009), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Abrams’ films have grossed over $4 billion worldwide, making him the eighth-highest-grossing film director of all time.
Gracie has also been sporting fashionable Chanel looks for years, and as a brand ambassador, she attended the 2024 Met Gala for the first time in a gown from the iconic designer.
She has attended fashion shows and events with the brand, and even performed at Chanel’s watches and fine jewelry flagship store opening event in Manhattan earlier in 2024.
When did Gracie and Paul Mescal start dating?
Gracie and Paul first sparked dating rumours back in June, and a week before confirming their romance were pictured ‘kissing a lot’ during a dinner date
Paul confirmed his relationship with pop star Gracie Abrams during a loved up outing in London on August 18.
In an exclusive MailOnline video, the pair were seen looking happy and relaxed in each other’s company as they walked together down the street.
A week earlier, the pair struggled to hide their romance as they were spotted ‘kissing a lot’ during a date in London’s Mayfair.
They were said by one looker to be putting on a ‘loved up display’ as they strolled through the swanky streets before heading to a nearby park.
The onlooker told MailOnline said the pair didn’t seem ‘shy’ about their feelings for each other as they smooched in the sunshine.
It comes after the pair were spotted shopping together in the capital last month with a source telling The Sun at the time: ‘Paul and Gracie looked like any other young couple hitting the shops, and they went almost unnoticed.
‘They seemed very relaxed in each other’s company and were busy checking out the posh shops on Bond Street.
‘Paul is a very low-key person, as is Gracie, so there was no fanfare and they kept their distance from each other when they were out on the street’.
The insider also claimed that following their shopping spree, both Paul and the Close To You singer ‘left separately’ and they each made their own way home.
Gracie has been in the UK for a series of gigs and is said to have been staying at the Chiltern Firehouse in central London.
Paul wasn’t spotted at any of her recent shows which took place in Kingston, Bristol and Southampton, but the source thought it was ‘telling’ that she chose to keep coming back to the capital city.
Paul has previously dated singer Phoebe Bridgers and recently caused romance rumours to swirl with Natalie Portman.
However, it was later claimed Paul is ‘just friends’ with Natalie, who quietly finalised her divorce from Benjamin Millepied in March following rumours he was unfaithful.

The Sparks Fly hitmaker was filmed fumbling with the extinguisher as she said: ‘I don’t know, b***h.’
She then sprayed the extinguisher which left her in disbelief as the entire room was coated in white fumes – leaving her cats shocked.
Taylor said: ‘Our purses are ruined, and my shoes and the whole room I think.’
Gracie added: ‘It smells really good though!;
The post was captioned: ‘Writing this entire song from 2am to 6am was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. @taylorswift now we know how to use a fire extinguisher. I love you.’
