Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra Dating Rumors Explained

Recent public appearances by Pedro Pascal and art director Rafael Olarra in New York City have sparked widespread speculation about a possible romantic relationship between the two.

The rumors began circulating after paparazzi photos captured Pascal and Olarra spending time together over Valentine’s Day weekend. According to reports from entertainment outlets, the pair were seen walking arm in arm through Manhattan’s Lower East Side before heading to lunch. Additional images published the following day appeared to show them leaving the same vehicle and continuing their outing together.

Further fueling speculation, another report claimed the two were spotted at a movie theater watching Wuthering Heights, described as a period romance starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Observers noted that Pascal and Olarra appeared relaxed and engaged in conversation during the screening.

While the timing of the sightings—during Valentine’s Day weekend—has intensified public curiosity, neither Pascal nor Olarra has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.

Pedro Pascal’s Private Personal Life

Pascal, 50, has long maintained a relatively private stance regarding his personal life. Despite being one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, he has never publicly discussed his sexuality or confirmed any romantic relationships.

The actor is widely known for his vocal support of the LGBTQ+ community. He has frequently expressed love and solidarity for his sister, Lux Pascal, who is transgender, and has been an outspoken ally to queer and nonbinary individuals, including his The Last of Us costar Bella Ramsey. However, Pascal has consistently drawn a line between advocacy and his own private life, choosing not to comment on speculation about his relationships.

Currently, Pascal is attached to several major projects, including his role as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and his appearance in Gladiator II. As his profile continues to rise, so too does public interest in his off-screen life.

Who Is Rafael Olarra?

Olarra, 47, is an art and creative director who has reportedly worked with the Faena Group since 2015. According to professional profiles and his official website, he serves as art director for the Faena Hotel, where he helps bring developer Alan Faena’s vision to life. His work has involved collaborations with prominent creatives such as filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, costume designer Catherine Martin, and architect Rem Koolhaas, among others.

In addition to his role at Faena, Olarra has taken on freelance projects spanning fashion campaigns, editorial shoots, advertising, exhibitions, television, theater, and live events.

Olarra’s Past Relationship with Luke Evans

Olarra previously dated actor Luke Evans between 2020 and 2021. The couple made their relationship public via Instagram during a trip to Hawaii in early 2020. However, by January 2021, Evans confirmed in an interview that the pair had separated, describing the split simply as “it is what it is.”

At this time, the speculation surrounding Pascal and Olarra remains just that—speculation. Without confirmation from either party, reports of a romance are based solely on public sightings. As the story continues to develop, fans and media outlets alike await any official comment from those involved.
