Pedro Pascal Boyfriend Rumors Intensify After NYC Sightings with Rafael Olarra

Pedro Pascal Boyfriend chatter grew this week after images circulated of the actor walking through New York City with Rafael Olarra, linking arms and later attending a film screening — a sequence of sightings that matters both to fans and public conversation about visibility.

Pedro Pascal Boyfriend: Sightings in New York City

Images show Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra together multiple times over Valentine’s Day weekend in New York City. The pair were photographed walking through the Lower East Side, dressed clean and coordinated, at one point linking arms as they headed toward lunch. Another set of images showed them leaving the same car, and other photos captured them seated together in a theater while periodically chatting during a screening of Wuthering Heights, the period romance starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Neither Pascal nor Olarra has commented on the sightings.

What the photos show

The sequence of moments documented in the images includes a walking tour of the Lower East Side, a bundled‑up stroll in wintry weather, a lunch following that walk, and a cozy theater visit where they were seen talking during the film. Observers noted they were wearing multiple layers to brave the cold and that the gestures included linked arms and close proximity. The exact nature of the relationship between the two is not stated in the images themselves.

Who is Rafael Olarra

Rafael Olarra, identified in the images, is 47 years old and works as an art director and creative lead for Faena. His work has involved shaping large‑scale creative projects spanning hospitality, design, and cultural programming. His portfolio includes collaborations across fashion campaigns, exhibitions, and live events, and ongoing work tied to the Faena District. Olarra was previously in a relationship with actor Luke Evans; the two went public in 2020 during a trip to Hawaii and later separated. Evans confirmed the split in early 2021, stating simply, "It is what it is. "

Public persona, privacy and cultural reactions

Pedro Pascal, 50, has a longstanding reputation for keeping his personal life private while his public profile has risen. He has made clear in past interviews that he prefers not to unpack relationships for public consumption, saying, "I just know that personal relationships are such a complex thing to navigate even without having this enormous lens on them. " He has not spoken about his sexual orientation, and public discussion reflects that many do not expect a statement.

Images of Pascal and Olarra walking arm‑in‑arm have been interpreted by some as culturally significant: the display of affection between two men — and between a major star widely discussed online as an unexpected sex symbol at 50 and a figure nicknamed by some as the internet’s favorite "daddy" — has been framed as breaking down barriers. A social post in Portuguese circulated noting the pair were photographed in a romantic mood and that U. S. press speculation suggests they may be in a relationship. A writer named Ian Carlos Crawford argued that Pascal’s modern approach to masculinity sets an example for other men in Hollywood and for a new generation of Latinx men. Óscar Muñoz, co‑director of the Business Network for LGBTI Diversity and Inclusion (REDI), said that if two men can openly express affection in the street, "we're doing something right as a society, " and emphasized the importance of visible role models; the commentary in the provided context about coming out publicly or in the workplace is unclear in the provided context.

Pascal’s public narrative has centered more on work and advocacy; he has been a visible supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and has frequently used his platform to uplift the community and support his sister, Lux Pascal, who is transgender. Lux has described him as "an important part of this… one of the first to give me the things that formed my identity. "
