Pedro Pascal has been causing quite the stir online after several recent cosy outings with Argentine creative director Rafael Olarra, which have fans curious about his love life.

Both appeared in high spirits, smiling and laughing throughout the casual walk, with the pair dressed in laid-back outfits and Olarra wearing a leg brace on his left leg.

When a photographer congratulated them and wished them well, neither denied the relationship.

Pascal reportedly burst out laughing when the paparazzo quipped about how “swoll” they looked.

Their outing comes after the two were first spotted together in NYC holding hands and watching the twisted romantic film Wuthering Heights.

According to TMZ, they were seated together and were “periodically chatting” during the movie starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

The romantic sightings are a rare move for the Materialists star who is usually one to keep his personal life very private, telling media previously: “I just know that personal relationships are such a complex thing to navigate even without having this enormous lens on them.”

With the internet obsessing over Pascal’s “new man”, who exactly is this mysterious Rafael Olarra?

Born in Gualeguaychu, Argentina, he is mainly known as an art director and creative professional with the Faena Group, a high-end hotel and arts brand known for immersive experiences.

Olarra is also a former Chilean football defender who serves as an ESPN Chile panellist.

No stranger to the limelight, Olarra was previously in a public relationship with Dracula Untold and Beauty And The Beast actor Luke Evans, who he dated from 2019 to 2021.

Pascal has previously been romantically linked to several women in Hollywood including Maria Dizzia, with whom he appeared in an episode of Law & Order, Game of Thrones co-star Lena Headey but later denied speculation, The Mentalist co-star Robin Tunney, and Jennifer Aniston.
