Paul Mescal, Gracie Abrams turns 2026 BAFTA Awards into a date night

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams had a romantic night out at the 2026 BAFTA Awards.

The couple, who has been dating since summer 2024, made their red carpet debut at the prestigious award ceremony shortly a month after they were spotted leaving the Golden Globe Awards event.

The love birds walked hand-in-hand and posed together for pictures. 

The That’s So True singer wore a black gown with floral design with hair in slicked-back style, with a part of it tucked behind her ear.

Meanwhile, the Normal People star, who is already a BAFTA winner and was now nominated for role as William Shakespeare in Hamnet, wore a black jacket and pants with a white dress shirt underneath.

Abrams and Mescal has showed continuous support for each other's respective careers, by attending award shows, movie premieres and the Irish actor often showing up at I Love You, I'm Sorry crooner's concerts.

Previously, in a cover story interview with NYLON, the Close To You songstress was asked about what it’s like to navigate her relationship with Mescal while being in the public eye

She said, "That has nothing to do with me. It doesn’t affect me."

The couple then went Instagram official, with the Grammy nominee sharing a carousel post from Glastonbury Festival.

Later on, in an interview with the Rolling Stone, the Aftersun actor shared what made him and Abrams go public with their relationship.

He initially said that he did not "know how to answer" but then clarified, "I actually do have an answer, but everything to do with that is deeply precious to me and I don’t want to."

Adding that he wants to "protect those things fundamentally."
