Pedro Pascal has been romantically linked to creative director Rafael Olarra after the pair were photographed together linking arms on Valentine's weekend. While neither party has confirmed nor denied the speculation, the pair seemed to fuel the frenzy when they stepped out alongside each other once again on February 24. 

The actor and art director were pictured looking cozy as they took a stroll through Beverly Hills. They had their arms wrapped around each other's waists, and Pedro was photographed leaning in and resting his chin on Rafael's shoulders.

The pair were later spotted sitting side by side at a screening of Wuthering Heights, starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, where they appeared deep in conversation throughout the film.

Back in March 2025, Pedro addressed the speculation that he was dating Jennifer Aniston after the pair enjoyed a three-hour dinner at the Tower Bar in the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.

"We're friends, and we went to dinner with mutual friends. It happens," he told E! News, quashing claims of a romantic relationship between the two.

Pedro has kept quiet over the years about his dating history. He was linked to actress Maria Dizzia in 2008 after they appeared on an episode of Law and Order together. The actress is well-known for her role in the hit Netflix series, Orange is the New Black.

HELLO! are taking a closer look at who Rafael is and exploring his past relationship history before he was linked to the actor.
