Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra have been spotted together multiple times in New York City in recent weeks, generating significant social media buzz and speculation about the nature of their relationship.
According to TMZ, Pascal and Olarra were photographed linking arms while heading to lunch during Valentine’s Day weekend, fueling public interest in their connection. Later, the pair attended a screening of “Wuthering Heights” at a Manhattan theater, continuing their string of public outings together.
Paparazzi photos captured Pascal bundled up against the New York winter, wearing multiple layers including a hoodie, jean jacket, and heavy cardigan. Olarra, meanwhile, opted for a peacoat over a gray crewneck sweater. Pop culture outlet Pop Pulse also reported on February 20 that the pair have been “seen going out occasionally” throughout New York City.
Despite the multiple sightings and growing public interest, neither Pascal nor Olarra has made any public statements regarding the nature of their relationship. Media coverage has been limited to paparazzi photographs and observations of the pair in public spaces, with no official confirmation of any romantic involvement between them.
Pascal, 48, has built a reputation for maintaining strict privacy regarding his personal life throughout his career. The Emmy-nominated star of “The Last of Us” and “The Mandalorian” has previously been linked to several high-profile individuals, though he has rarely commented on these rumors publicly.
According to The News International, Pascal’s rumored past relationships include connections with actress Maria Dizzia in the 1990s, his “Game of Thrones” co-star Lena Headey in 2014, actress Robin Tunney in 2015, and most recently, Jennifer Aniston in 2025. However, Pascal has not confirmed any of these reported relationships.
Olarra, an Argentine creative, previously made headlines for his relationship with actor and singer Luke Evans. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship on Instagram in February 2020, but announced their split in January 2021, approximately a year after going public.
The sightings of Pascal and Olarra come during a particularly busy period in Pascal’s career. The Chilean-American actor has risen to become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand talents following his breakout roles in Netflix’s “Narcos” and HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” His star power has continued to rise through his leading roles in “The Mandalorian” and the critically acclaimed adaptation of “The Last of Us.”
Pascal is currently preparing for several high-profile upcoming projects, including Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” and a leading role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Fantastic Four” reboot, where he’ll portray Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic. These career developments have put Pascal increasingly in the public eye, making his personal life a subject of growing interest among fans and media outlets.
Celebrity relationship speculation has long been a staple of entertainment news, but the private nature of both Pascal and Olarra suggests that concrete details about their connection may remain limited unless they choose to address it publicly.
For now, observers can only note their continued appearances together around New York City, as both men navigate the balance between public visibility and personal privacy that comes with increasing fame and attention.
