Pedro Pascal Spotted Affectionate with Rafael Olarra During Recent Los Angeles and New York Outings
Actor Pedro Pascal and rafael olarra have been photographed together in both New York City and Los Angeles in recent weeks, sparking fresh public attention about their relationship. The images and public sightings matter now because they show repeated, close interactions—including linked arms, shared rides and a theater outing—that have circulated widely and revived questions about the pair’s private lives.
New York City sightings and dates
Photographs show Pascal and Olarra together in Manhattan’s Lower East Side on Valentine’s Day weekend and again on February 6, 2026, with one set of images capturing the two linking arms while heading to grab a Sunday lunch. On Monday, February 16, one outlet noted that the 50-year-old Marvel star and the 47-year-old creative director at Faena had been seen out and about in the neighborhood the day before. Additional pictures circulating online show the two leaving the same car together and linking arms, and a separate pair of images appears to show them sitting side-by-side in a movie theater to watch Wuthering Heights, the period romance starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
Beverly Hills stroll in Los Angeles
This week the actor and rafael olarra were photographed again while walking in Beverly Hills. The two were seen wrapping their arms around each other’s waists, with Pascal leaning in and resting his mouth and chin on Olarra’s broad shoulders as they smiled and looked up at the sky. When approached by a photographer, the pair declined to answer questions and kept mum on the nature of their relationship.
Rafael Olarra's Faena role and freelance work
Olarra, 47, is identified as an art director and creative director at Faena, a position he has held since August 2015. His official website states that he is “the art director of Faena Hotel” and that he is responsible for materializing Alan Faena’s vision and improving the Faena district, which was created in collaboration with Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martins, Ximena Caminos, Juan Gatti, Rem Koolhas, Foster, Oma, Francis Mallman and Paul Qui, among others. The site also notes that Olarra undertakes freelance art-directing work for fashion campaigns, editorials, advertising, exhibitions, TV, theatre and events.
Past relationships, ages and public stances
Rafael Olarra previously dated actor Luke Evans, with public accounts indicating that the two went Instagram official in February 2020 and confirmed their split in 2021. Pedro Pascal is 50 years old and Olarra is 47. Pascal has maintained a low public profile about his own dating life despite rising fame; he has been described as a longtime LGBTQ+ ally, notably in connection with his sister, Lux Pascal, who is transgender, and his The Last of Us costar Bella Ramsey, who has identified as nonbinary.
Media attention and what makes this notable
Images and write-ups from multiple outlets have amplified the sightings, and the repetition of outings—New York walks, a theater visit and a Beverly Hills stroll—has driven renewed speculation. What makes this notable is the consistency of the encounters across cities and days: linked arms in Manhattan, shared theater seating, and intimate body language in Beverly Hills together form a pattern that has prompted public discussion. Because the pair declined to comment when approached, the available visual record has become the principal basis for that discussion.
