AceShowbiz - Paul Mescal, 28, and Ayo Edebiri, also 28, have sparked speculation of a romantic relationship after the actress shared a heartwarming photograph on Instagram Story in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
The pair appeared affectionate in the image, with Ayo leaning on Paul's shoulder while he rested his arm on her leg. Ayo's caption, "Happy St Paddy's!" accompanied the cozy photo. The actress is renowned for her portrayal of chef Sydney Adamu in the acclaimed comedy-drama series "The Bear."
Their representatives have been contacted for comment.
Ayo was previously linked to actor and writer Colin Burgess, albeit they maintained a discreet relationship.
Speculation about Paul and Ayo's potential romance comes on the heels of rumors involving Florence Pugh and "The Normal People" star. Witnesses claim that Florence and Paul enjoyed each other's company at the BAFTA Film Awards last month.
Florence, 28, reportedly attended the Universal party and then moved on to the Netflix bash, where she mingled with Paul and other celebrities like Rosamund Pike, Lily James, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Whispers of a blossoming friendship between Florence and Paul emerged after they were spotted dining together in New York City. An anonymous source commented, "Florence and Paul have been friends for a while. If their relationship deepened, it wouldn't surprise anyone."
Florence ended her relationship with photographer boyfriend Charlie Gooch in October 2022 while Paul reportedly joined a dating app following his breakup with singer Phoebe Bridgers.
Florence's captivating appearance at the BAFTAs featured a stunning white gown with a front slit, complemented by a dramatic feathered cape. The actress celebrated with her "Oppenheimer" co-stars after the biopic's impressive seven-win sweep.
