Gracie Abrams celebrated boyfriend Paul Mescal’s 30th birthday on Monday (Feb. 2) by shouting her love for the Hamnet actor from the rooftops. OK, it was from her Instagram, but the 26-year-old singer made no secret of how much Mescal means to her in a series of pictures, in which the couple — who have mostly kept their relationship private — smile and pose cheek to cheek and lips to lips.
The carousel opens with a photo booth strip of black-and-white snaps, in which Abrams and Mescal — who reportedly began dating in the summer of 2024 — kiss and goof around. In another photo, they enjoy a day out at a baseball game where they are both wearing Red Sox hats. Elsewhere, they stare deeply into each other’s eyes as Mescal embraces Abrams at what looks like a dinner out, the table littered with bottles of Perrier, candles and plates of food.
The post was actually a dual tribute to both Mescal and Abrams’ childhood bestie, Clementine, with the caption reading, “Clemmy❤️ My whole heart!!!!!!!!! I love February 2… Happy birthday❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love you both more than words could ever describe. Thank you for making everything better.” In another snap, Abrams and Mescal share a deep embrace on the floor of an empty stadium, which follows a close-up of Mescal lying in bed with his arms wrapped around his famous girlfriend’s legs and a photo of the actor laughing over a meal.
The roll also includes shots of Abrams and Clementine goofing off over the years and a final pic of Clementine blowing out the candles on her cake.
The photos of the actor come a week after director Sam Mendes released the first images of the cast of his upcoming four-part Beatles biopic project, The Beatles — a Four-Film Cinematic Event, with Mescal earning praise for his take of a young Paul McCartney. Abrams, the daughter of director J.J. Abrams, is gearing up to make her acting debut in A24’s upcoming movie Please, directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies); the movie’s plot has not yet been revealed.
