Glastonbury, England — Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams and actor Paul Mescal officially confirmed their relationship during the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, marking a significant milestone after a year of public speculation. The couple’s affectionate appearances throughout the event underscored their commitment to each other, blending personal celebration with professional achievements.
Abrams, 25, delivered a notable performance on Glastonbury’s Other Stage on June 27, captivating the audience with tracks like “That’s So True,” “Close to You,” and “I Love You, I’m Sorry.” Among the crowd was Mescal, 29, who was seen supporting her alongside friends, including his sister Nell and former co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones. Their presence highlighted the couple’s close-knit circle and mutual support system.
The duo’s public acknowledgment of their relationship was further cemented when Abrams shared an Instagram Story featuring herself on Mescal’s shoulders during Olivia Rodrigo’s performance of The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love.” This intimate moment resonated with fans and symbolized the couple’s decision to embrace their relationship publicly.
Their journey began in June 2024, when they were first spotted dining together in London, sparking initial dating rumors. Over the following months, they were seen attending each other’s professional events, including Mescal’s attendance at Abrams’ concerts and Abrams accompanying Mescal to film premieres. Despite their rising fame, the couple maintained a low profile, choosing to keep their relationship private until now.
The festival also served as a reunion for Mescal and Edgar-Jones, who starred together in the acclaimed series “Normal People.” Their camaraderie added to the event’s celebratory atmosphere, with Edgar-Jones and her partner Ben Seed joining the couple in various festivities throughout the weekend.
Abrams’ performance at Glastonbury was a significant milestone in her burgeoning music career. Having previously opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and released her second studio album, “The Secret of Us,” in 2024, Abrams has steadily climbed the ranks in the music industry. Her Glastonbury set, which included a cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven,” showcased her versatility and deep connection with the audience.
Mescal, known for his roles in “Normal People” and “Aftersun,” has also seen a meteoric rise in his acting career. His recent performances have garnered critical acclaim, and his presence at Glastonbury, supporting Abrams, highlighted the couple’s mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work.
The couple’s decision to go public at Glastonbury, one of the world’s most renowned music festivals, underscores their comfort and confidence in their relationship. Their shared moments, both on and off stage, have resonated with fans and added a personal touch to the festival’s vibrant atmosphere.
As both Abrams and Mescal continue to ascend in their respective careers, their public acknowledgment of their relationship adds a new dimension to their public personas.
