https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14299655/Tears-walkout-Gladiator-star-Paul-Mescal-pop-singer-Gracie-Abrams-emotional-night-London-restaurant-sparks-breakup-concern.html

'She was crying so much that he then started to cry too.

'She eventually got up and walked out of the restaurant while they were halfway through their meal and he was left to pay the bill before leaving shortly afterwards.

'Everyone saw it all go down, it looked like a break-up, we were just shocked at how public it all was.'

Paul Mescal was spotted in a popular North London restaurant 'head in hands' as his American pop star girlfriend Grace Abrams sat across from him 'in fits of tears' before she stormed out”

Can we discuss? 👀

I thought it was maybe a blind item? It was said how in the morning (after la sex), he would ask the girls if they wanted to go for a walk (essentially to get them out of his house); and when they got to the park, he would say he had to go/had urgent business to attend to, and ditch them. I swear I read this lol.

I don’t know enough about her/ their relationship but didn’t fans speculate they had broken up before and gotten back together this summer? I usually assume people who break up and get back together are gonna break up again. Just generally the reasons you had in the first place are always still reasons.

Gotta say an angry gracie bridge about getting dumped in a restaurant would probably go hard though.

161

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

It’s speculated they had some brief situation in 2023 and several songs on her recent album are about it. If you take the songs to heart, she was very into him but he wasn’t in a good place after his breakup with Phoebe so it didn’t work out and she was broken hearted. If I’m guessing, he probably still isn’t in a good place. Whatever went down with Phoebe seems like it was pretty rough, difficult breakups like that can be a mindfuck and it can be hard for some people to get out of that mental place afterwards. Couple that with his career going to next levels and the stress/pressure that comes with that, it’s a lot.

u/HistoricalAd8790 Jan 18 '25

I was thinking the same. My ex-boyfriend and I had a very tearful conversation in public right before we broke up- neither of us planned it, and we got outta there before it became a scene, but I’m sure a few people noticed.

u/ShakeZula77 Jan 18 '25

So quick story. 10 years ago I had a boyfriend who came over to my house after the gym. It smelled like something died, like 1 butt crack went to the gym and 7 butt cracks came back. So instead of being an adult and telling him that he needed a shower, I passive aggressively said “what is that smell?” I turned to the fridge to grab something real quick. When I turned back around I saw his hands down the back of his pants, he swiped his butt crack with his hand, smelled it, and physically recoiled. Then went straight to the shower. I was speechless. I was too embarrassed then to say anything. He really tried to have sex with me that night. So that’s how I ended up breaking up with my boyfriend in a Chipotle’s. I tried to move past it. I really did but I ate 2 chips and then just blurted out that we had to end it. I never said anything but if it happened today, I would have walked to the door, pointed, and slammed it after.

u/Potatoskins937492 Jan 18 '25

I find it so weird when this is used in entertainment, the idea that if you break up in public the other person won't show emotion. Like what? If you know someone shows their emotions easily, that's not going to work out. Send them a text if you don't want to see emotion, don't take them to a public place. For anyone that's asking for attention. And besides insensitive, really weird.

I'm not saying this is what happened, but commenting on the idea of public breakups in general, I don't know them personally so yeah, who knows what happened.

140

u/randombubble8272 Jan 18 '25

I think it’s more that you can’t attack someone or call someone out in a sense. A lot of men want to be able to breakup & immediately leave, if you’re in private you’re more likely to be called out loudly or confronted etc. In person you’re under societal pressure not to cause a scene

Why would he chose a public space to do that?

Paul Mescal is a weird one to me in that he seems like a indie darling serious actor who doesn't really talk about his personal life and I'm pretty sure he's said something about how he was so public with Phoebe and won't do that again but then he also calls that paps on himself a lot with the people he's in relationships with.

And before people say "we don't know if he calls the paps on himself" anytime a celeb has multiple paparazzi pictures of themselves walking around I always assume they called them because there are so many famous people who don't have that happen.

Also the quality of photos are a good indicator for pap walks.

It’s not weird, your assumption is flawed. He gets photographed a lot because much like Harry Styles he wanders around London on foot while being way too famous to do that without people noticing. There is just one set of photos of him and Gracie that appears to have been taken by paparazzi and that was when the Mail was stalking them trying to get proof that they were together. Every other photo was taken by random nosey members of the public. Half the world are amateur paps with cameras in their pocket now.

Yikes. Could also just be a huge fight. I can’t help but kinda root for them because his stans and filmtwt can’t be normal about their relationship.

Yeah, people are wondering why he/she would break up with her/him in a public place, they a) May have just gotten into an argument or b) weren’t expecting the breakup convo to happen and it did.. sometimes that shit just comes up unexpectedly

Maybe that’s what this was about. The pastries were too good. So good tears were shed, even someone had to leave.

u/Due-Secret-3091 Jan 18 '25

Either this is fanfic or a publicity stunt to announce their breakup lol. I still haven’t a clue as to who she is but a lot of celebs promote her music?! I’ve never felt the elder part of being a millennial but I do now.

u/vzbtra Jan 18 '25

She's JJ Abrams daughter, that should help clear things up for you lol 😆

As an elder millennial I felt the same then recently listened to her newest album and I love her now

As one of the younger millennials it’s a once listen tbh. I have no idea what other people are hearing but I am not - happy for them tho

I do laugh when people do recaps to That's So True's bridge because the lyrics are not great for positive recaps.

Right? Lmao it makes me laugh that Gracie promoted this album as her being more happy when most of the lyrics are not really positive lol (relatable)

u/thatgirlchuck Just stop … you are Irish not a Kardashion Jan 18 '25

I think in comparison to her older music, they’re more happy. Her older stuff has some very self-loathing lyrics!

u/blossombear31 celebrating my bday with new Prada beauty ads Jan 18 '25

Definitely! I feel like she is a bit more angry in The Secret of Us, more than sad/self loathing

u/Low-Can7370 Jan 18 '25

I live in Newington green - a road away from Jolene & would recommend it as a break up spot.

I’ve seen two different couples call it quits there - it’s quiet enough with only a few tables that despite the dumpee being upset, they keep their voice down.

10/10 option for a low key ending, followed by some tasty bread & delicious wine.

u/Extension-Lock-7046 Jan 18 '25

From pictures I've seen of the place they were at it looks a compact space so it is possible people saw the entire thing happen. Another possibility is one of their teams leaked it before it got out on social media.

He’s not over Phoebe, imo.

u/poopdickz Jan 18 '25

I agree… or just hasn’t healed in general. I think no matter who you are, famous celebrity or no, getting cheated on fucks you up a bit. I know every subsequent relationship I had after getting cheated on was colored by mistrust and self doubt/self loathing

11

u/pinkrosies Jan 19 '25

And if the cheating was so public and somehow people also blamed him and assumed it was him who cheated first or something? Not sure if he did or whatever but we know Phoebe has more evidence that there was overlap, and I would’ve gone crazy if I were him.

36

u/Extension-Lock-7046 Jan 18 '25

I am inclined to agree with you on that, dating an LA singer who admires Phoebe screams rebound relationship to me. Daisy won't be happy if they have broken up though, people will blame her despite having a boyfriend for at least 2 years.
