Pedro Pascal Seen with Rafael Olarra in NYC: What the New Photos Reveal
New images showing Pedro Pascal alongside rafael olarra in New York City have sparked fresh dating rumors after the pair were photographed together; the pictures and surrounding details matter because they include multiple public sightings, background on both men, and a wave of online reaction.
What the New York sightings show
Photographs from New York City record Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra out together on February 6, 2026. The images show the two linking arms while heading to a Sunday lunch in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, dressed in formal or “dapper” attire and taking in some sightseeing before their meal. Separately, additional pictures captured them leaving the same car together and appearing to sit together at a movie screening.
Valentine’s weekend, the movie and the crowd
The sightings took place during Valentine’s Day weekend and include a photo set of the two sitting to watch the period romance Wuthering Heights, the film starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. In the theater photos they are pictured periodically chatting in what has been described as a cozy setting. The combination of lunch, strolling the Lower East Side, shared transportation and a theater visit is the basis for the current dating speculation.
Rafael Olarra’s background and credits
Rafael Olarra, age 47, is identified in the coverage as a creative director at Faena. His role has been described as art director of Faena Hotel and responsible for materializing Alan Faena’s vision and advancing the Faena district. That Faena district work is said to have been created in collaboration with Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martins, Ximena Caminos, Juan Gatti, Rem Koolhas, Foster, Oma, Francis Mallman, Paul Qui, and others. Olarra has also done freelance work in fashion campaigns, editorials, advertising, exhibitions, TV, theatre and events, and has been associated with Faena since August 2015.
Pedro Pascal’s profile and public stance
Pedro Pascal, age 50, is noted for roles that include Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and a part in Gladiator II. He has been publicly active as an LGBTQ+ ally for many years, with particular ties to his sister Lux Pascal, who is a trans woman, and to Bella Ramsey, who has identified as nonbinary. Pascal has maintained a low profile about his own intimate life and has not publicly addressed his sexuality.
Earlier relationships in Olarra’s history
Rafael Olarra previously dated actor Luke Evans between 2020 and 2021; that relationship was marked by a February 2020 moment when Olarra and Evans went Instagram official. These past details are part of the public background now being revisited in light of the new Pascal sightings.
Public reaction, commentary and context
The images prompted a strong online reaction. Fans and commenters responded in mixed ways: some expressed shock at suggestions that Pascal might be gay, while others urged recognition that bisexuality exists and objected to labeling or policing private relationships. Representative reactions included comments asking that people allow him to like whoever he likes, one enthusiastic note calling them “another gorgeous couple to envy, ” a call to stop labeling everything, a reminder that bisexuality exists, a comment linking Pascal’s on-screen bisexual character Oberyn Martell to the conversation, and comparisons in tone to past celebrity revelations, with one comment likening the moment to reactions to Ricky Martin.
What is confirmed and what remains unconfirmed
The visual record confirms that Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra were photographed together in New York City on February 6, 2026, including scenes of them linking arms, leaving the same car, and attending a screening of Wuthering Heights. Pascal’s career credits, Olarra’s role at Faena since August 2015, Olarra’s prior relationship timeline with Luke Evans (2020–2021), and public details about Pascal’s outspoken allyship and family connections are all part of the available record. What remains unconfirmed is any public statement from Pedro Pascal or Rafael Olarra about the nature of their relationship; both have not commented on the rumors.
Additional context: a writer named Bernardo Sim prepared coverage that included these details; he is a writer and associate editor for a magazine, contributes to other publications, was born and raised in Brazil, has lived in the U. S. for more than 15 years, speaks four languages, and maintains social accounts on Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and X/Twitter.
