Paul Mescal And Daisy Edgar-Jones Just Can't Stop Looking At Each Other
There's a super cute video of Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones that's floating around, and I have one question: are they secretly dating? It may not be fair to ask, but I can't help it — I just love a celebrity couple! Plus, I mean, if someone could catch my attention at a literal Gucci fashion show like Paul and Daisy here, I'm thinking we're definitely more than friends because hello? GUCCI? Nothing could break my gaze from all that goodness unless I was head-over-heels for someone.
Viral video aside, it's hard to ignore their steamy chemistry in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney'sNormal People, or their Met Gala run-in. However, the pair hasn't officially released a statement that confirms — or denies — anything. Given all that, here's what's evident about the nature of their friendship...and potential relationship.
Paul Mescal And Daisy Edgar-Jones Share THAT Met Gala Moment

After they took the world by storm as star-crossed lovers in Normal People, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones reunited at the Met Gala in 2022. While they got their own shot together (pictured above), they also shared a moment that you'd miss if you blinked. In a moment of what seems like pure pining, while Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers snap a photo together...it sure looks like his gaze leads right to one miss Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Later that year, during her Elle UK interview, Daisy Edgar-Jones revealed she was a fan of Paul Mescal's mustache. Up until that point, he hadn't been sporting any facial hair, so it was nice to see her supporting his new look. She said, "Oh, I love it. Paul can pull off anything." Hmm...I see. 👀

In a beautifully captured moment, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones embraced after his acceptance of a British Independent Film Award for Aftersun. This also occurred in 2022 and it makes me think this could indicate the turn of their relationship, if they're actually dating...
Daisy Edgar-Jones Has The Famous Chain From Normal People

Connell's chain in Normal People is, was, and always will be iconic. There's just something about it! Well, earlier this year, Paul told The Times that Daisy actually has Connell's original chain from Normal People, despite how much fans on the internet coveted it themselves.
And the way he revealed this information? Even better. The writer thought Paul was wearing the chain during the interview, but he wittingly proved otherwise. "It’s not...Daisy has that one," he said. SWOON!!!!!
What's the final verdict?

As much as I'd love to know if Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones have a special thing going on, Grazia seems to be convinced they're actually just really good friends who care about each other. It's honestly not much different than my Bridgerton faves, Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. I guess all the on-screen chemistry in the world doesn't a relationship make...yet. 😏
I guess for now we'll just have to keep dreaming, or writing fan fiction!
