Actor Pedro Pascal and art director Rafael Olarra were seen sharing affectionate moments while walking in Los Angeles this week, intensifying speculation about their connection. Following recent sightings in New York City, their public displays have stirred curiosity about the nature of their relationship.
Visible Affection Between Pascal and Olarra in Los Angeles
Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra were spotted again in a relaxed setting on the West Coast, where they enjoyed a casual afternoon stroll. Photographs obtained by TMZ reveal the two in sporty, comfortable attire, with Rafael Olarra wearing a noticeable lower-leg brace. During the outing, Pascal was captured giving Olarra a playful kiss on the shoulder while embracing him, and Olarra responded with a warm arm around Pascal’s waist. Both appeared joyful as they laughed under the Los Angeles sun.
This public affection follows their earlier appearances together in New York City, where they were seen exploring the city, dining, and attending a screening of Wuthering Heights. Despite these moments, neither man has openly discussed the exact nature of their relationship, fueling ongoing rumors about their possible romance.
Background of the Rumors and Past Appearances
The current rumors began this month after the pair spent several days together in New York City. Their outings included sightseeing and attending events shortly after Pascal’s performance alongside stars such as Bad Bunny, Jessica Alba, and Cardi B during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. While their time together was openly visible, neither Pedro Pascal nor Rafael Olarra commented publicly on what connects them.
Rafael Olarra, 42, is an Argentinean art director known for studying at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires. Openly gay, he was previously linked to actor and singer Luke Evans. The couple made their relationship public on social media in early 2020 but announced their split a year later. Pascal, 50, originally from Chile, is noted for maintaining privacy about his personal life, rarely revealing details about his romantic engagements. He is recognized as a vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community.
Uncertainty Surrounding Official Confirmation
As of now, no official confirmation regarding Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra’s relationship has been made. According to a report by The News International, Pascal avoided questions from reporters seeking clarity on his relationship status. Known for being secretive about his romantic life, Pascal declined to comment, maintaining silence amid growing speculation.
Throughout his career, Pascal’s private life has drawn attention, with rumors linking him to figures such as Maria Dizzia in the 1990s, Lena Headey in 2014, Robin Tunney in 2015, and Jennifer Aniston in 2025. Despite public curiosity, he has intentionally kept his relationships out of the spotlight, focusing instead on his work.
In contrast, Rafael Olarra has been relatively transparent about his past relationship with Luke Evans, sharing aspects of their life on social media before their separation. This openness differs from Pascal’s approach, whose personal life remains largely out of public view, emphasizing the mystery surrounding the nature of his connection with Olarra.
