Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal are not only two of the young actors firmly on their way to becoming the new icons of Hollywood, but with just a few years in the industry, they are also favorites among the public.
By winning people’s hearts, many of their fans have been following their every move, so many rumors about a possible relationship have quickly started to circulate, especially because of the photo posted by the The Bear actress.
The weekend was St. Patrick’s Day and the star of the cooking series shared a photo on her personal Instagram with the actor from Gladiator 2, where they were seen laughing and being quite close.

The actress shared a story over the weekend where she was seen laughing with the actor while sitting on a staircase. Edebiri was embracing him while he smiled and someone else took their photo.
However, despite all the rumors of a possible romance, many believe they are spending so much time together because of a joint project they have: a romantic comedy, which could be an adaptation of a novel written by Emily Henry.
The theory about a collaboration between the stars arose after the writer posted a photo of the actors on her stories. TMZ and People claimed it could be the movie adaptation of Book Lovers.
The actor who will lead the sequel to Gladiator confessed in an interview, during November 2023, that he was interested in making a rom-com with Ayo, so his plans would be coming true if the theories are correct.
“That’s one of those things I leave in the cinema and I’m incredibly jealous and excited about the talent of everyone involved in that movie. But I think in the next five years I’m going to set myself the challenge of maybe making a romantic comedy with Ayo, or something like that would be great“, he confessed to Awards Watch.
