"I want to protect those things fundamentally - Paul Mescal"

London, February 23

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams turned heads at the BAFTA Awards 2026 as they made their red carpet debut as a couple on Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre in London, according to People.

Mescal, 29, who earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of William Shakespeare in Hamnet, paired a black jacket and trousers with a white shirt left casually unbuttoned at the top. Abrams, 26, looked stunning in a black gown adorned with floral designs, her hair slicked back and tucked behind one ear.

The couple, first spotted together in June 2024, attended the BAFTAs just a month after their appearance at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. Following the ceremony, they were photographed heading to Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, where Hamnet secured Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for co-star Jessie Buckley.

The couple were seen holding hands as they stepped out of a vehicle for the afterparty.

Mescal is generally private when it comes to his personal life. He explained that he did not "know how to answer" a question regarding what made him and Abrams go public with their relationship during a September profile published by Rolling Stone.

"I actually do have an answer, but everything to do with that is deeply precious to me and I don't want to. ... This isn't ... I don't really ... umm ... I want to protect those things fundamentally," he said at the time, according to People.

Good for them! Paul Mescal is a fantastic actor. Hamnet sounds interesting—wonder if it will get a release here in India. Always appreciate when actors want to keep some part of their life private. 👍

Gracie's gown is absolutely stunning! The floral design is so elegant. Red carpet fashion from these awards is always a treat to see.

Another celebrity couple news... yawn. I respect his desire for privacy though. In our Bollywood, sometimes it feels like every detail is for public consumption. Maybe they could learn a thing or two.

Cute couple alert! 🥰 But seriously, BAFTA 2026? We're reading about events that haven't even happened yet. The future-gazing in entertainment news is something else!

Interesting to see a film about Shakespeare at these awards. Global appreciation for classic literature is always good. Wonder if there's an Indian cinematic equivalent that gets this kind of international platform.
