Everyone loves Paul Mescal — and when Gladiator II comes out later this year, he's poised to be a bigger star than ever before.

Everyone also loves Gracie Abrams right now. Her second album, The Secret of Us, is a certified hit; it debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 earlier this summer.

In case you didn't know, Gracie is the daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams — but, don't worry, we're not doing nepo baby discourse right now. (Maybe later.)

So, there've been rumors swirling for a minute now that Paul and Gracie are kind of a thing. Back in June, TMZ posted photos of the pair dining together in London at a restaurant called BRAT. (I "Guess" they were having a Brat Summer. Sorry.)

Fast-forward to this month — as in, literally yesterday, when Deuxmoi shared a photo of the pair holding hands in, you guessed it, London again. The Daily Mail (who, for what it's worth, aren't always the most trustable source) also reported that the pair were "kissing a lot" during the public hang.

A source tells the publication that the pair are “hooking up and it’s still early stages.” And that's pretty much it.
