Their first public appearance as a pair came on November 18, 2024. Gracie attended the Los Angeles premiere of his film Gladiator II. Mescal was also seen with her at the Eras Tour and on Saturday Night Live.
Gracie kept her answers short, as she likes to keep her personal and professional life under wraps. In December 2024, she told Nylon the chatter had nothing to do with her. Then, in May 2025, she walked the Cannes red carpet. She came to support Mescal at the premiere of The History of Sound. On July 2, 2025, she made the relationship Instagram official. She posted a photo of them after Glastonbury. Mescal later told Rolling Stone that the details are “deeply precious” to him. He added that he wants to protect them. Both stars guard their privacy. They rarely talk about each other in public.
Gracie broke that pattern once in 2026. She praised Mescal’s film Hamnet on her Instagram Stories. She wrote that his work had stayed with her. She ended the post with a short line: “Also, I love him.” Fans shared it widely. Since then, the couple has stayed low-key.
