It's Rod Stewart's time to move over, because Paul Mescal is stealing the spotlight post-Glastonbury Festival after he appeared in Instagram pictures cosying up to another star. The BAFTA-winning actor, aged 29, has long been rumoured to be in a relationship with 'That's So True' songstress Gracie Abrams, who's 25. Fans have even dedicated an Insta account to track their every romantic movement.
But now @popculture on Instagram has confirmed it — Gracie Abrams has gone public with the Normal People star with a telling post on her profile.
The page declared: "Their love is officially on the grid. Gracie Abrams has finally made her romance with Paul Mescal Instagram official".
In a carousel of photos from the music festival, which took place between June 25 and 29, the US singer posted a candid photo chilling next to the Gladiator II star signalling that things are official a year after whispers of a romance first surfaced.
Gracie wasn't just at the festival for fun - she dazzled audiences with her debut set, crooning fan favourites like I Love You, I'm Sorry, That's So True, and Close To You, plus a rousing rendition of The Cure's Just Like Heaven.
After electrifying the crowd, Gracie hit up Instagram to share snapshots and her feelings, expressing: "Glastonbury just thank you so much. I will never ever stop pinching myself that we got to do this".
Paul and Grace might've been caught sharing a kiss previously, but this latest loved-up display indicates their bond might just be stronger than anyone anticipated.
Gracie's Instagram has been buzzing with comments, with one fan writing: "YOU AND PAUL HELLLLOOOOOOO?????"

Another eager follower penned: "HARDD LAUNCHHHH???? HELLOOOOO," and was mirrored by an Instagram user who commented: "Hard launch I'm obsessed".
Meanwhile, someone else noticed: "They've been together forever," while another enthused, "I love this vibe. I love you. I love that you're having such a good time".
Grace also received heaps of praises from followers calling her "gorgeous" and expressing being fans for "ages".
Over on Reddit, some users were lamenting the non-romantic reality between Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul.
Daisy and Paul stole hearts as Marianne and Connell in the television hit Normal People, adapted from Sally Rooney's celebrated novel, released in 2020.
Their compelling on-screen chemistry sparked a flurry of speculation about their real-life connection.
In truth, Daisy and Paul have always maintained they share a deep friendship, not a romantic entanglement.
The pair have recounted in interviews the profound trust and closeness that developed through their deeply emotional and intimate on-screen roles.
Despite pursuing their acting paths separately, the bond they share as companions and former co-stars endures.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
