Pedro Pascal & Rafael Olarra: Viral Hand-Holding Moment

Actor Pedro Pascal and art director Rafael Olarra were photographed together in Beverly Hills, California, on Monday, February 23, 2026, sparking renewed speculation about a romantic relationship. The pair were seen strolling through the upscale neighborhood, with Pascal placing his hand on Olarra’s waist and kissing him on the shoulder, according to images obtained by TMZ.

This latest sighting follows several recent public appearances together, including a Valentine’s Day weekend in Recent York City where they were seen walking arm-in-arm in the Lower East Side and attending a screening of “Wuthering Heights,” as reported by Complex. Fans and paparazzi captured the couple outside The Bowery Hotel following the film, where Pascal signed autographs.

Olarra, 47, is a creative lead for Faena, a company involved in hospitality, design, and cultural programming, according to Complex. Pascal, 50, has maintained a degree of privacy regarding his personal life, previously stating he prefers to retain his relationships out of the public eye. He has described navigating personal relationships as “complex” even without public scrutiny.

The pair were observed wearing casual attire during their Beverly Hills outing. Pascal sported a jogging suit, dark grey shirt, and green baseball cap, even as Olarra wore a navy blue shirt and red shorts. Olarra was as well wearing a leg brace, which did not appear to detract from his demeanor, according to reports.

Social media has reacted to the sightings, with some users expressing hope for Pascal’s happiness and suggesting the outings represent a “soft launch” of a new relationship, as noted in a Reddit discussion. Neither Pascal nor Olarra have publicly commented on the nature of their relationship.

Prior to the recent sightings, Pascal and Olarra were reportedly seen together in New York City over Valentine’s Day weekend, including a stroll and a lunch date, according to Out magazine. The frequency of these public appearances has fueled ongoing rumors about a potential romance.
