Gracie Abrams, known for her breakout hit “That’s So True,” has fueled rumors about a potential breakup with Paul Mescal following some cryptic comments she made in a recent interview. The singer-songwriter spoke with Cosmopolitan about her views on relationships, leaving fans to speculate about the state of her romance with the Gladiator II actor.
Cryptic Comments on Love and Healthy Relationships
In the interview, Abrams was asked about what makes a relationship healthy, and her response seemed to hint at underlying complexities in her personal life. “What I love about a healthy relationship is that your life doesn’t radically change,” the “Close to You” singer shared. “You just fit into each other in a way that feels positively challenging and deeply supportive—it’s like a place to land.”

While these words could be interpreted as reflective of a deep, loving relationship, they’ve added fuel to the ongoing speculation regarding her rumored split from Mescal.
Valentine’s Day Without Paul Mescal
The breakup rumors were further ignited when Gracie opened up about her Valentine’s Day plans, which notably didn’t include Paul Mescal. “I will be touring in Germany, but I actually have a few days off,” Abrams shared. “My plan right now is to fly to Paris and hopefully my producer, Aaron Dessner, and I will write a song we love in his studio in France.”

She continued, “All of my songs are love letters in one way or another, so that’s my Valentine.” While it’s not uncommon for musicians to spend special days focusing on their craft, the absence of Paul in her plans only deepened the questions surrounding their relationship.

According to reports, Mescal appeared visibly upset with his head in his hands, while Gracie was seen “in fits of tears” before storming out of the restaurant.
