What Hamnet Taught Paul Mescal About Love in His Own Life

Although the couple did not walk the carpet together for the high-profile outing, they coordinated looks with the daughter of J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath sporting a grand black ballgown, while the 29-year-old wore an all-black tuxedo.

A month later, the couple went Instagram official as they attended Glastonbury Festival together. Gracie shared several posts from the weekend music event, including a video of herself sitting on top of her boyfriend’s shoulders as they enjoyed Olivia Rodrigo’s headlining set.

And while Paul and Gracie have both been firm about not commenting explicitly on their year-long romance, the 26-year-old previously shared she took a page out of mentor Taylor Swift’s book when it comes to sharing her personal life through song.

“I feel like all of her words are words of wisdom in every capacity ever,” Gracie admitted to E! News during the 2024 Grammys red carpet. “But honestly, I think before I even knew her personally, she taught me to write all the time and to just tell the truth in my writing. And that is something that I carry with me forever. I write every day because of that advice.”
