The star’s romantic life has been a hot topic, with fans buzzing about rumored connections to other Hollywood icons. Let’s delve into the well-known women he has reportedly dated—and collaborated with on various projects.
Pedro Pascal’s irresistible charm and rising fame have solidified his status as a heartthrob. His romantic history with dark-haired actresses and recent rumors of a connection with a race car driver only add to the intrigue surrounding his persona.
In a candid January 2023 interview, Pascal openly acknowledged his heartthrob status after some playful hesitation. When asked if it feels like a lot of pressure, he simply responded, “No.”
Asked if he turns to Instagram fan accounts for a pick-me-up, the “Gladiator II” star admitted with a laugh, “Yes, I do.” The actor then revealed his favorite account, saying, “It’s called Pedro Pascal Fan Account,” before bursting into laughter again.
While he openly shares lighthearted moments, his personal life remains shrouded in mystery. Pascal keeps his romantic history closely guarded, despite the public’s curiosity. The closest he has come to a public relationship is reportedly through what seem to be deep, long-standing friendships with several women over the years.
Pascal’s preference for privacy only deepens the intrigue surrounding his relationships, leaving fans to speculate about his past connections.
One of the earliest rumors involves actress Maria Dizzia, with whom Pascal shared the screen in 2008. The two appeared together in an episode of “Law & Order,” where Pascal portrayed Tito Cabassa, the boyfriend of Dizzia’s character, Sugar, a sex worker.

Since the Hollywood star’s relationship ended, Dizzia has moved on, marrying playwright Will Eno and starting a family with their child.

In 2014, Pascal was also rumored to be dating English actress Lena Headey, his co-star in “Game of Thrones.”
The rumored pair, who portrayed Cersei Lannister and Oberyn Martell in the drama series, shared some chemistry off-screen, with Headey frequently posting affectionate photos of them on Instagram.

One memorable post featured the duo looking cozy in the street with the caption, “Sunshine love,” further fueling speculation. Later that year, they were spotted on a casual shopping trip, with Pascal wrapping an arm around Headey as they laughed together.
Reflecting on their bond, Pascal described her as one of his “favorite persons” during a Reddit Q&A, praising her intelligence, humor, and kind nature, noting, “Talk about male or female, you’re going to get a crush on her easy.” Headey has since married actor and writer Marc Menchaca in 2022.
Pascal’s rumored romances continued to draw attention, with whispers in 2015 suggesting a connection with actress Robin Tunney, his aco-star in the hit show, “The Mentalist.” The Chilean native played the role of Agent Marcus Pike for 7 episodes.

The pair was spotted enjoying breakfast at Kings Road Café in Hollywood and attending events together, including the 2015 Emmy Awards, sparking speculation about their relationship.

Despite their frequent outings, it’s likely that Tunney and Pascal were simply close friends. At the time, Tunney was engaged to interior designer Nick Marmet, who proposed to her in 2012 after an initial, memorable attempt was thwarted by illness.
Tunney humorously recalled, “I threw up over his shoulder when he was about to take the ring out.” The couple have since welcomed two children together.
Despite Pascal never confirming any of his rumored relationships, speculation surrounding his personal life remains a hot topic online. Most recently, social media users have been buzzing about his connection to Carlos Sainz Jr., a Spanish motorsports racing driver.
A photo of the pair together, posted on X, sparked widespread chatter, with one user captioning it, “I can’t believe we actually got a real picture of Carlos and Pedro together. HOW .”
The online dialogue quickly gained traction. One user questioned, “Pedro Pascal is dating a man?????” Another added to the frenzy, stating, “Actor Pedro Pascal is dating former Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz—TMZ reports.” Meanwhile, others reacted with shock, with one exclaiming, “WHAT IS HAPPENING GUYS WHY IS CARLOS SAINZ DATING PEDRO PASCAL IN TL [sic].”
While Pedro Pascal’s charisma and mystery continue to capture the hearts of fans worldwide, he remains steadfast in keeping his personal life private. From long-standing rumors to newfound speculations, his relationships—whether romantic or platonic—add layers to the intrigue surrounding his public persona.
