Pedro Pascal Seen Embracing Rafael Olarra During PDA-Filled Los Angeles Stroll
Actor Pedro Pascal and creative director rafael olarra were photographed in an affectionate outing that has moved public speculation about their relationship into clearer view. The images from Los Angeles follow a Valentine’s Day weekend appearance in New York City and underscore what some are calling a newly obvious, "complex" pairing.
Monday, February 23: Los Angeles stroll
The most recent encounter occurred Monday, February 23, in Los Angeles, when the pair stepped out together for a PDA-filled date night. While walking through LA's streets, the Game of Thrones actor and the Argentinian creative director wrapped their arms around each other's waists and could not keep their hands off one another during the stroll. At one point, Pedro rested his mouth and chin on Rafael's shoulder in what appeared to be a kiss, an intimate gesture that helped shift the story from rumor toward recognition of a romantic connection.
Rafael Olarra and Pedro Pascal at Wuthering Heights in New York City
Earlier in the month the two were pictured together in New York City on Valentine’s Day, where they watched the period romance Wuthering Heights, starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. The theater outing included moments of quiet conversation as they took in the film. That appearance followed a day of sightseeing over the Valentine’s Day weekend, when they were seen exploring the city together.
Lower East Side lunch, bundled against the cold
Their New York sequence included a tour of the Lower East Side and a lunch on Sunday after the tour. Observers noted they braved the winter cold in the city, bundling up in multiple layers for the outings. The sequence—sightseeing, a neighborhood tour and a theater visit—preceded the Los Angeles stroll and provides a clear timeline of two city outings separated by under two weeks.
Past links: Jennifer Aniston and Luke Evans
The pair’s recent visibility arrives alongside reminders of past public relationships. Pedro Pascal has previously been linked with Jennifer Aniston and has not publicly confirmed the new whirlwind romance with Rafael Olarra. For his part, rafael olarra was last linked to actor and singer Luke Evans; that relationship was confirmed to have ended in 2021 after a little over a year together.
Public affection and what it signals
The photographs and outings show a progression from earlier strolls that sparked romance rumors to more demonstrable public displays of affection. Their arms-around-waists posture, the shoulder gesture that resembled a kiss and the decision to appear together in two major cities are tangible actions that have altered public perception of the pair. What makes this notable is the geographic sweep—Valentine’s Day events in New York City followed by an overtly affectionate appearance in Los Angeles—which moves the story beyond a single, isolated encounter.
Those visible moments—two city appearances, a theater screening, a Sunday lunch after a Lower East Side tour, and a Los Angeles outing on Monday, February 23—have produced an effect: speculation that once centered on casual sightings has shifted toward recognition of a developing romantic partnership. At the same time, key confirmations remain absent, as Pascal has yet to make a public statement about the relationship.
The sequence of outings and the physical closeness captured on camera have contributed to the characterization of their relationship as "complex, " and to broader attention on the pair’s movements between New York City and Los Angeles over the past weeks.
