Move Over, Natalie Portman! Paul Mescal Appears To Hit It Off With Taylor Swift Eras Tour Opener Gracie Abrams On Apparent Date!

After sparking dating rumors with Natalie Portman, rising star Paul Mescal is now sparking romance speculation with Taylor Swift’s opener Gracie Abrams!

The singer — who just released a song with TayTay (that they made while putting out a fire in the Eras Tour star’s home) — was spotted in London on an apparent date with the Normal People star. It’s unclear exactly when the snap was taken, but TMZ obtained it on Sunday. The hunky 28-year-old Irishman was seen sitting across from the musician while out to eat at a busy restaurant. It sure seemed like a romantic outing as at one point, Paul reached across the table and appeared to stroke the 24-year-old Us singer’s cheek. Cute!

Eyewitnesses told the outlet the pair were eating at BRAT Restaurant and ordered a bunch of small sharing plants. They seemed to be having a great conversation, too! Sounds like there’s potential!

But as mentioned, this comes weeks after the Aftersun alum was caught (also in London) sharing a cigarette with Natalie last month. It seemed like the actor was finally helping the 43-year-old get her groove back on, but sources claimed they were just friends. Paul’s also sparked dating rumors with The Bear‘s Ayo Edebiri, but that also fizzled out and seemed to just be a platonic relationship. So, who knows?

Do y’all think there could be real sparks this time?? Sound OFF (below)!
