Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams are currently facing split speculation, despite insiders claiming they were the 'real deal' just weeks ago. Although neither party has confirmed or denied the break-up rumours, they were reportedly spotted having a tense meeting recently that has since thrown their relationship into question.
A source has claimed that Paul and Gracie were dining at restaurant Jolene in London's Newington Green when they saw the pair looking visibly upset. The eye witness spoke to The Daily Mail and claimed: "They were sat at a table opposite each other and Paul had his head in his hands as Gracie just sat there crying. She was crying so much that he then started to cry too."
They added: "She eventually got up and walked out of the restaurant while they were halfway through their meal and he was left to pay the bill before leaving shortly afterwards. Everyone saw it all go down, it looked like a break-up, we were just shocked at how public it all was."
As the publication points out, the alleged incident happened just weeks after Gracie went home to Cork with Paul to celebrate Christmas with his family. The Gladiator II actor and the "I Love You, I'm Sorry" singer were rumoured to be dating since July, when they were spotted enjoying what looked like a date at London restaurant BRAT. Very soon after that, they were seen shopping in Mayfair together.
At the time, a source told The Sun: "Paul and Gracie looked like any other young couple hitting the shops, and they went almost unnoticed. They seemed very relaxed in each other’s company and were busy checking out the posh shops on Bond Street."
As recently as November, a source said about the couple: "Gracie and Paul are the real deal. They’re at the top of their game and always in communication."
At the time of writing, neither Paul nor Gracie has addressed the speculation.
