Popular singer-songwriter, Gracie Abrams marked February 2, 2026, specially by sharing a heartfelt tribute to her boyfriend, Paul Mescal, on his 30th birthday. She shared a special carousel with some unseen candid photos of the couple, which immediately went viral. Whether it was their black-and-white snaps or a cozy embrace, every natural moment of the duo highlights their strong bond. 

As Gracie wished her "whole heart" with the special post, a source close to People confirmed that they are "deeply in love" and the singer is even helping her boyfriend prepare for his upcoming role as Paul McCartney in The Beatles. Amid the whole buzz, let's know more about the man of the hour, Paul Mescal.

Who is Paul Mescal?

Paul Mescal was born on February 2, 1996, in Ireland. He rose to international fame for his portrayal of 'Connell Waldron' in Normal People. The special performer not only earned him a BAFTA TV Award but also made him an instant crush of young girls. He followed his breakout success with a string of critically acclaimed roles, including his Aftersun, which received an Oscar-nominationnand an award-winning stage performance in A Streetcar Named Desire in London's West End.

After four years, Paul Mescal reached a new level in his career, starring as 'Lucius' in Gladiator II under the direction of Ridley Scott. Apart from his on-screen role, he is known as a quiet person with musical interests. He plays piano well and records with his sister. At the same time, he was a Gaelic footballer before an injury made him reconsider his career plans. 

Grace Abrams and Paul Mescal's low-key love story 

Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal made quite a name for themselves in their respective fields. They were first linked together in June 2024 after having a quiet dinner in London. Eventually, after two months, they were spotted walking hand in hand through Mayfair. Gradually, their bond developed, and Paul was seen cheering at the singer's concerns while she attended the after-party for Paul's Gladiator II premiere. They finally made their relationship Instagram-official in July 2025 at Glastonbury, where Gracie shared a photo of herself leaning on Paul's shoulders during a set. Sharing what made him go public about his relationship, Paul told Rolling Stone:

I actually do have an answer, but everything to do with that is deeply precious to me and I don’t want to. This isn’t. I don’t really know. i want to protect those things fundamentally," 

Since Gracie and Paul had kept their relationship under wraps for a long time and eventually stayed low-key despite going official, every post or mention of each other by them is special. Gracie's birthday post for Paul is the clearest insight yet into their playful, comfortable, and affectionate relationship. It featured pictures of quiet dinners, stadium selfies, and festival moments, with Paul McCartney's song in the background, and Paul preparing for his upcoming role in The Beatles, which describes the duo's silent support and love for each other.
