Famous Gladiator star Paul Mescal was recently spotted in an emotionally charged scene at the trendy Jolene restaurant in Newington Green, North London.
Mescal, 28, who is known for his iconic role in Normal People, seemed distraught, with his head in his hands while sitting across from his girlfriend, American pop star Grace Abrams, 25.
The scene quickly escalated, as onlookers reported that Grace was visibly upset and in tears.
The tension in the restaurant grew as both the actor and the singer were caught in a very public emotional moment, leaving many to wonder what had caused such an intense reaction.
An Unexpected and Dramatic Departure
According to a witness who spoke with MailOnline, things took a turn for the worse during their meal.
The observer mentioned that as Grace continued to cry, Paul also began to break down, creating a heartbreaking atmosphere.
At one point, Grace could no longer contain her emotions and stood up abruptly, storming out of the restaurant.
Paul, left behind, finished his meal and ended up paying the bill before exiting the establishment shortly after.
The entire exchange appeared to many onlookers like a breakup, leaving everyone shocked by how public and raw the situation was.
The Couple’s Private Romance Takes a Hit
This emotional scene comes after a relatively low-key but meaningful period for the couple, who had been private about their relationship.
The couple had been in London for a while, with Grace visiting Paul’s family in his hometown of Cork over the Christmas holidays.
The two appeared publicly together a few times, including a memorable moment when they posed for photos with fans in a local SuperValu store.
Grace has had a remarkable rise to fame this year with her hit songs like That’s So True and I Miss You, I’m Sorry, both of which have amassed over half a million streams on Spotify.
Meanwhile, Paul’s past relationship with singer Phoebe Bridgers ended in December 2022, leaving him devastated.
In the months following, he was reportedly emotional when discussing the breakup
. But by summer 2024, he had moved on with Grace, keeping their relationship largely under wraps until they were spotted together holding hands in London that July.
They were also seen in Miami in October at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
