Paul Mescal sparks engagement rumours with singer girlfriend Gracie Abrams
The couple have been dating for a year
Engagement rumours are flying around Paul Mescal and his girlfriend Gracie Abrams.
It comes after the singer was spotted numerous times wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger.
The 25-year-old has been dating the Irish actor since last summer, and fans are wondering if the pair are set to tie the knot.

The eye-catching ring adorned her finger at the Billboard Women in Music awards red carpet in March.
Abrams was keen to show off the ring, posing with her left hand under her chin in one snap, and waving with it in another.
The ring appeared on her finger once again this week while performing a show in Melbourne, Australia.
A snap of the ring was sent into celebrity gossip page Deux Moi along with a message that read 'ENGAGED: Gracie Abrams rocking a huge diamond on her [engagement] finger at tonight's Melbourne show.'
Sharing their two cents on the rumours, the page added: 'Gracie Abrams arriving in Melbourne…always THAT ring and never just A ring.'
Taking to the comments, fans didn't seem convinced by the rumours.
'Would bet a million dollars she's not engaged', one wrote.
''I think she just likes the ring,' another added.
A third chimed in with: 'If you look at pictures of her she legit always has a ring on either her left middle or left ring finger. Not sure why this picture would mean something different.'
Earlier this year the couple sparked rumours that their romance was over after they were reportedly spotted having a tearful row during date night at a London restaurant, during which Gracie appeared to storm out.
An onlooker told MailOnline that the pair were sat opposite one another, while Paul had his head in his hands, and Gracie 'sat there crying.'
'She was crying so much that he then started to cry too.
'She eventually got up and walked out of the restaurant while they were halfway through their meal and he was left to pay the bill before leaving shortly afterwards,' they continued.
'Everyone saw it all go down, it looked like a break-up, we were just shocked at how public it all was.'
The couple spent time together in Co Cork last Christmas.

They were snapped posing with fans when they dropped into Scally's Supervalu in Clonakilty to pick up some groceries.
Taking to TikTok, one of the workers shared 'Tryna act cool but Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal walked into the shop and asked me where the eggs were.'
The couple, who kept a low profile, visited the supermarket to stock up on some food, and posed for pics with the staff.
It's believed that the couple are staying at Paul's holiday home in Schull.
The Kildare actor was rumoured to be engaged to his previous girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers before their split in December 2022.
Gracie also ended a serious relationship in 2022, when she split from her singer-songwriter boyfriend of five years Blake Slatkin.

'We put plans in place, found a gorgeous little cottage in Wexford and put down a deposit, secured tenants for our home here in the UK and began to pack our whole lives into my little fiat 500 (Ollys car broke 2 weeks before the move and had to have a full new gear box… just the start of the twists in this eventful story),' Emily shared. Two weeks ahead of their before, Emily explained that they got an offer 'we just couldn't refuse.'

'As we both run remote businesses we thought… What could go wrong!? Just us… 19 wild horses, 2 border collies and Nancy and Ralphy of course,' Emily said. Emily and Olly made the move on January 4, bringing three weeks worth of food shopping to the remote island they were set to call home.

Noting that food shopping was ordered via click and collect every three weeks by boat, Emily joked that 'if you didn't buy your Prosecco in advance… Friday night is going to be pretty boring.' The pair resided on the island during Storm Eowyn, which Emily branded 'mad.' Likening the experience to lockdown, Emily explained that she refrained from sharing her journey online as she wanted to take time away to re-evaluate her journey in life and the next steps.

Fr Ted co-creator Arthur Matthews on Leaving Cert: ‘I missed deadline to apply to art college'
Arthur Matthews, writer, author, co-creator of Father Ted. He sat his Leaving Cert at Castleknock College in 1977 What is your most vivid Leaving Cert memory? A big exam hall. It was very quiet. Who was your most influential teacher and why? Mr Walshe, my English teacher. He was quite eccentric. His dog once ate some homework he had taken home for correcting – or so he claimed. What was your most difficult subject and why? Irish. It seemed pointless to learn it, and I had no interest in it. Also, maths. I was terrible at that, too. READ MORE And your favourite? Art. Can you recall what grades or points you received? Vaguely. I had completely average results. I did better in some subjects than I deserved – I think these were science and biology, and I got a disappointing mark in subjects I really liked, such as history. How important were the results for you, ultimately? Not important at all. What did you do after secondary school? I went to the College of Marketing & Design, which was then based in Parnell Square, to do a four-year design course. What would you change about the Leaving Cert? I know so little about it these days that I couldn't give an informed answer. What advice would you give to your Leaving Cert self? I should have given a lot more thought to what I planned to do after school. I even managed to miss the deadline for applications to art colleges such as NCAD (National College of Art and Design) and Dún Laoghaire Art College. That was very shoddy on my part. In conversation with Tony Clayton-Lea

Love Island star gives advice to Megan Forte Clarke before she enters the villa
Love Island star Catherine Agbaje has advised Dubliner Megan Forte Clarke to stick with the girls when she enters the villa. Catherine, who appeared on the 10th season in 2023 and was also a finalist on the second season of Love Island: All Stars, said she was so happy to see an Irish woman going into the Spanish villa. The 24-year-old panto star is hoping to bring the drama to the villa from June 9 and has already been compared to former bombshell Maura Higgins. Speaking about Megan, Catherine said: "Dubliners are friendly, and she'll get along with everyone. "I'm just happy to see someone from Dublin again in the villa. I feel like you need a Dublin person." Catherine was in Dublin on Tuesday with fellow Love Islander Toby Aromolaran, who was a runner-up on the seventh season of the reality dating show in 2021 and also appeared on Love Island: All Stars last season. Speaking about Megan, Toby admitted he doesn't know if English guys can deal with Irish girls. "The thing is can English guys deal with Irish girls? You know?" he asked. "Yeah, we're feisty," said Catherine, laughing. Catherine said being Irish going into the villa is a culture shock at first. "I feel like obviously being from Ireland, going into the villa, you don't know what to expect, because, obviously you don't know it's a whole different culture out there. "You know, it's a whole different set of rules. But I feel like she'll be fine, like I feel once you go in there yourself, you make friends with the girls. "And Irish girls are such 'girls, girls'. So I feel like she will be a 'girl's girl', and that will stand to her." Speaking about her own experience when she came out of the villa at the time, Catherine said she needed a second to breathe and take in the chaos. "Mine was 50/50," she admitted. "Like, when you come out for the first time, you just get a 'wow'. Because you don't know, you've never been in this world before, and then you're also dealing with a lot of opinions. So like, you're trying to address, and then everyone around you is like, 'Oh, what happened?' "You just need a second." But Toby said he found the overnight fame very funny. "Mine was kind of different, because I came out in like, a relationship in it, so we kind of leaned on each other, which was a lot better than just coming out by yourself, because I feel like that the pressure of that is hard, even though the pressure of relationships is quite hard as well. "But I quite enjoyed it to be honest. I thought it's quite fun, like something different, out of the ordinary, like a different situation I've never been in, so I kind of leaned into it in a way. "Yeah, I found it funny half the time," he admitted. Catherine and Toby were speaking ahead of Love Island returning from June 9 at 9pm, with Maya Jama coming back as host of the reality TV show.
