Friendship or love? We don't care, but love it either way!
Less than a year ago, Pedro Pascal proved just how flexible he could be as Mr. Fantastic in Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps — and now he seems to be showing that the same flexibility applies to his love life… and honestly, that’s a good thing.
Pedro Pascal And Rafael Olarra – More Than Friends?
Pascal is currently one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors. Whether starring in successful television productions or appearing on international red carpets, the Chilean-American star remains firmly in the spotlight. This makes public interest in his private life all the greater – a part of his world that Pascal usually keeps carefully out of view. That is precisely why new photos from New York are now generating considerable buzz.
Over Valentine’s weekend, the actor was spotted together with Rafael Olarra. The two were reportedly seen walking arm in arm through Manhattan’s Lower East Side before heading out for a meal together. Observers described their interaction as notably affectionate, quickly sparking speculation about a possible romantic relationship.
Fans became particularly attentive when Pascal and Olarra later attended a screening of the romantic drama Wuthering Heights together. According to media reports, the pair appeared "relaxed and familiar" during the film, quietly chatting and visibly enjoying each other’s company. The romantic setting of a shared cinema visit on Valentine’s weekend only fueled the rumors further.
The Actor And The Athlete
Rafael Olarra is not entirely unknown himself. The former Chilean soccer player and creative director of a luxury hotel has previously moved within celebrity circles and was formerly linked to actor Luke Evans. His connection to Pascal has therefore attracted attention not only among fans but also within the entertainment industry.
So far, however, nothing has been officially confirmed. Neither Pedro Pascal nor Rafael Olarra has commented on the circulating speculation. Whether this marks the beginning of a new relationship or simply a close friendship remains unclear. And honestly? In the end, it hardly matters. Whether it’s a bromance, great love, or simply two people who share a strong bond, what truly counts is that everyone involved seems happy – and judging by appearances, they are. As for us? We’re simply happy for them.
