Following their walk, Rafael Olarra and Pedro Pascal attended a screening of Wuthering Heights, the period romance starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Images from the theater show the pair seated together, chatting quietly during the film. Observers note the combination of a public stroll and a shared movie outing as signs of a close relationship, though neither has publicly confirmed their romantic involvement.

Rafael Olarra, 47, has worked as an art director at Faena since 2015 and has contributed to freelance projects spanning fashion campaigns, editorials, advertising, exhibitions, television, theatre, and events. He previously dated actor Luke Evans from 2020 to 2021. Pedro Pascal, 50, has long maintained a low public profile regarding his personal life, though he is recognized as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community; his sister, Lux Pascal, is a trans woman.

Neither Pascal nor Olarra has commented on the recent sightings. For now, the Lower East Side walk, shared car departure, and Wuthering Heights screening remain the most recent public events connecting the two. Fans and media continue to watch for additional appearances, fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship.
