Pedro Pascal has once again found his personal life in the spotlight after being photographed spending time with Argentine creative director Rafael Olarra in New York City. The Last of Us and The Mandalorian star, known for keeping his private life out of the public eye, was seen strolling arm-in-arm with Olarra in Manhattan over the weekend, quickly sparking speculation across social media.
Photos circulating online show Pascal, 50, and Olarra enjoying what appeared to be a relaxed afternoon together. According to entertainment reports, the pair attended a screening of Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie before later greeting fans and signing autographs outside the theater. The evening reportedly continued with dinner at a restaurant on the Lower East Side, where the two were again seen chatting and laughing together.
Their casual outing quickly fueled relationship rumors, largely because Pascal has rarely spoken publicly about his dating life. The actor has long maintained a reputation for protecting his privacy, and he has never publicly discussed his sexual orientation or confirmed details about his romantic relationships.
As curiosity grew online, attention quickly turned to Olarra, with fans trying to learn more about the man seen alongside Pascal. Some early reports mistakenly identified him as a retired Chilean soccer player with the same name, but Pascal’s companion is actually a 42-year-old Argentine creative director with a background in film, design, and luxury hospitality.
Olarra studied at Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and has worked as art director for the Faena Hotel group since 2015. The luxury brand operates high-end properties in cities including Miami, Buenos Aires, New York, and Tulum. In Miami Beach, Olarra has played a key role in shaping the visual identity of the Faena District, overseeing design elements, art installations, and branding across the area’s hotels, nightlife venues, and cultural spaces.
His work has also placed him in the orbit of major celebrities. Olarra has collaborated with artists and performers at events hosted by the Faena brand, including appearances by global stars such as Cher. In addition to his creative work, he has pursued freelance projects in photography and fashion campaigns.
Despite the growing speculation online, neither Pascal nor Olarra has addressed the rumors. For now, the Manhattan outing simply confirms the two spent time together publicly, while the nature of their relationship remains unconfirmed. Still, the sighting has reignited fascination with Pascal’s famously private personal life, proving that even a casual weekend stroll can send the internet into detective mode.
