Pedro Pascal has found himself at the centre of online chatter after being photographed alongside Argentine art director Rafael Olarra in both New York City and Los Angeles, setting social media abuzz.

The first set of photos reportedly emerged from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where Pedro and Rafael were seen attending a screening of Wuthering Heights. Following the event, the duo was photographed arriving at a hotel together, appearing at ease and comfortable in each other’s presence.

Photos published by TMZ captured several affectionate moments between the two during their outing. In multiple shots, Pedro can be seen wrapping his arm around Olarra’s waist.

In one particularly intimate frame, he leans in and gently rests his mouth and chin on Olarra’s shoulder as they stroll together. The pair were also photographed smiling, gazing upward at the sky, and remaining close throughout their time together.

Despite the attention, neither Pedro nor Rafael responded to paparazzi inquiries regarding the nature of their relationship. This is not the first time the two have been spotted together; they have previously been seen on multiple occasions in both Los Angeles and New York City.

During one earlier outing in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the two were photographed walking arm-in-arm. On another occasion, they attended a local theatre screening of Wuthering Heights together, further fuelling curiosity among fans and media outlets.

Their repeated public appearances have led to widespread online speculation, with many wondering whether their bond is romantic or simply a close friendship.
