Gracie Abrams shares rare intimate snaps to celebrate boyfriend Paul Mescal's 30th birthday

Gracie Abrams shared some very intimate and romantic snaps to celebrate her actor boyfriend Paul Mescal's 30th birthday.

The 26-year-old That's So True hitmaker - who is the daughter of Star Trek filmmaker JJ Abrams - took to Instagram to share several snaps featuring the Oscar nominee whom she has been romantically-linked to since 2024. 

Mescal seemingly shares the same birthday as Abrams' childhood best friend Clementine as the post served as a dual tribute to two of her closest confidants.

She captioned it to her 5.7 million followers: 'P❤️ Clemmy❤️ My whole heart!!!!!!!!! I love February 2… Happy birthday❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

'I love you both more than words could ever describe. Thank you for making everything better.' 

Included in the gallery were photos of Mescal and Abrams kissing including in a photobooth.

There was another romantic snap of the two sharing an intimate moment during a candle-lit dinner.

This comes a month after Mescal revealed he is planning to 'slow down' his career to prioritize loved ones in a rare discussion about his personal life, including his relationship with Abrams.

The Irish heartthrob, who is currently filming the new Beatles biopic in which he plays Paul McCartney, opened up about his shifting priorities as he reflected on turning 30.

'I really enjoyed the rhythm I've been working at. I think that process began when I was 23 and I'm now turning 30,' the Hamnet star said on the latest episode of GQ's YouTube series, 21 Questions to Fall in Love.

'I can feel myself wanting to slow down a bit more and certain priorities come in where I spend my time, whether that's with my family or with my partner or with friends.'

The actor, who rarely discusses his romance with singer Abrams continued: 'I've never had a desire to really spend my time anywhere else other than work up until this point... 

'And now I do have a desire to not spend my time necessarily in a rehearsal room or on set.'

Mescal explained that his constant work rhythm since graduating from drama school, The Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin, in 2017, left little room for extended breaks.

He said: 'I've had six weeks [off work], but it's always been in preparation for another job.

'The maximum amount of time I ever had [off work] is like eight, nine weeks. Three of those would be in bed, recovering, and then the next six weeks would be preparing for the next thing.'

The Normal People star added that he would 'love to go on a long backpacking holiday in South America' and has been discussing plans with a friend to carve out six weeks to do it.

He also admitted that spending time with Abrams in the US last summer has helped him develop a 'surprising' new passion. 

He has become a devoted Boston Red Sox fan, crediting a 'partner connection' to the team, rather than Irish-Boston heritage.

'I take baseball very seriously now,' he said. 'Last year, I went to my first major league baseball game at Fenway Park. I'm a Red Sox fan... I watch the highlights on my phone every morning.'

Paul's revelation that he wants to spend more time on his relationships comes after he told Rolling Stone last autumn that he has hopes of one day being a dad. 

'I would love to have a family,' he said at the time. 'I'm not like, "I want them tomorrow," but I would love to have kids.'

Abrams and Mescal have been dating for around two years and were first spotted together publicly in June 2024 when they were pictured sharing an intimate date at BRAT Restaurant in London.

They made their first red carpet appearance together at the History Of Sound premiere in June last year, and have since been spotted attending festivals and supporting each other's careers.

Despite their increasingly public romance, Paul has remained protective of his private life, saying last October: 'I'm not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it.'
