Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams’ tearful restaurant exchange sparks split rumors

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams’ emotional lunch in London leaves fans speculating about a possible breakup.

Irish actor Paul Mescal and singer Gracie Abrams have sparked rumors of a potential split following a tearful exchange at a North London restaurant. 

The 28-year-old “Normal People” star and the 25-year-old daughter of Hollywood director JJ Abrams were reportedly seen in an emotional moment during a lunch at Jolene in Newington Green. Witnesses described the interaction as heated and tearful, with Gracie leaving abruptly before the meal ended.

“She was crying so much that he then started to cry too,” shared an onlooker. The scene escalated further when Gracie walked out, leaving Paul to settle the bill before leaving shortly afterward. Fellow diners speculated that the public nature of the exchange hinted at a breakup.

The couple, who began dating last year, has maintained a relatively private relationship. Paul was previously linked to American singer Phoebe Bridgers, with their two-year romance ending in December 2022. His current relationship with Gracie has been the subject of much public interest, especially as Paul’s career continues to soar with roles like his upcoming lead in “Gladiator II.”

This isn’t the first time Paul’s personal life has made headlines. In late 2023, he addressed untrue rumors about his love life circulating online, including a viral theory about his supposed “one-night stand” behavior. The actor spoke candidly about the toll such gossip takes on his family, particularly his mother.

While neither Paul nor Gracie has publicly commented on the incident, fans continue to speculate about their relationship status. The emotional scene at Jolene has added fuel to the fire, leaving many wondering if the couple’s romance has come to an end.
