Pedro Pascal is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood, who, over the years, has honed his acting skills and won millions of hearts with his outstanding performances. He has taken up meaty roles like Javier Peña in Narcos, and Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones, garnering appreciation from the audience. Now, he has gained a lot of popularity, especially among female fans.
The more Pascal comes into the limelight, the more he becomes the talk of the town. It seems his female fans are unable to resist his charming presence. He even gets called ‘Daddy’ by the internet. So, naturally, the question of whether he has a girlfriend, or a partner, or a wife often surfaces in the media. The actor’s fans have been quite interested in his dating life. However, Pascal being a private person makes it difficult to find out about his past relationships.
Pedro Pascal’s Close Friendship With Bella Ramsey
Pascal’s The Last of Us swooned his fans. The actor’s portrayal of his character Joel and his chemistry with Bella Ramsey ignited a lot of questions. But hold your horses – they are just close friends and colleagues. Ramsey in an interview with Deadline talked about her friendship with Pedro Pascal. She said,
I think our relationship grew and developed as Joel and Ellie’s did. No, actually, Joel and Ellie initially were very estranged and had a lot of anger and resentment towards one another. We didn’t have that. We were just shy of each other. And now that I think about it, us being trapped in the car together for episode 3 did a lot for us.
On the other hand, Pascal had only good and sweet things to say about Bella Ramsey. In an interview with Variety’s Actors on Actor series, the 49-year-old actor credited the teenage actor for being generous, thoughtful, and hardworking. He even shared that during the filming, Pascal relied on Ramsey for quite a lot of times.
Does Pedro Pascal Have a Wife and Children?
Pedro Pascal is yet to get married or at least that is what we know. Even though the actor is called the internet’s ‘Daddy’, he doesn’t have children. Possibly, he is currently single but if he is in a relationship, he is quite great at hiding this from the media.
As he never talked about his dating life or past relationships openly in front of the media, there’s very little information out there, merely based on some speculations. However, while conversing with Wired, Pascal opened up about his perception of love and how his character Joel dealt with loving and losing his daughter in The Last of Us. He said,
I think what’s scary about Joel is that none of us really know what we’d be capable of if faced with the idea of losing love. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, being alive or even being a human being is directly connected to the love you feel. Existing is connected to the love you feel toward a particular relationship—your child, your partner—and to lose that? Some people are not capable of applying rational thought to that kind of loss, or the threat of that loss, or the threat of that loss again.
He further added that he doesn’t like ‘psychological, physical or emotional’ pain. Now, as we are at it, let’s find out more about his romantic history.
Maria Dizzia & Pedro Pascal’s Brewing Romance

Yes, that’s right. In the early 90s, Dizzia featured in one of the episodes of Law and Order as Sugar and portrayed Pascal’s Tito Cabassa’s s*x-worker girlfriend.
Their chemistry was on fire, and The Sun had reported that they dated briefly for a decade. Soon after, they called it quits and moved on with their separate lives. Now, Dizzia is happily married to a British playwright, Will Eno, and is also a mother of their child.
Lena Headey & Pedro Pascal’s Rumored Romance
Lena Headey and Pedro Pascal’s close friendship-turned-rumored relationship happened when they worked together in Game of Thrones. While Headey played a grey character, Cersei Lannister, Pascal entered the series in the fourth season as Oberyn Martell. Even though onscreen House Martell and House Lannister were rivals, rumors about an offscreen brewing romance between the two actors surfaced.
In 2014, they were romantically linked based on a few instances, one of which was an Instagram post where Pascal and Headey looked quite close. She even captioned it as ‘Sunshine Love’. However, they both considered each other as very good friends. Even in an interview with The Daily Mail, Pascal talked about his bond with Headey,
Lena is one of my [favorite people]…She is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush. Talk about male or female, you’re going to get a crush on her easy.
Right now, Lena Headey is married to fellow actor Marc Menchaca and shares her first child, Wiley with her ex-partner Peter Loughran and her second child, Teddy with her ex-husband Dan Cadan.
Robin Tunney and Pedro Pascal’s Friendship

Tunney and Pascal were seen at various events together enjoying their time in public. They were even photographed at the Emmy Awards in 2015. Their bond and frequent spotting fueled their dating stories.
Pedro Pascal even featured in Tunney’s hit show The Mentalist, and his fans loved their camaraderie. That’s where they met and that’s where their bond grew deeper. However, Pascal and Tunney’s bond has only been platonic as during that time the actress was already engaged to interior designer, Nick Marmet. He had proposed to her on 2012 Christmas. She later announced her engagement in 2013. The power couple share two children.
But her friendship with the Mandalorian actor remained.
Dakota Johnson & Pedro Pascal Are Dating?
Well, the straightaway answer is no, they are not. However, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal were spotted enjoying a Stevie Nicks concert in London. Even though they were also accompanied by Cara Delevingne, her partner Minke, and Anya Taylor Joy, some pictures ignited their dating rumors.
But in reality, they are not dating, and currently, both of them are shooting for their upcoming movie Materialists directed by Celine Song. Earlier this year, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal were papped kissing on the road which fueled speculations but later it was disclosed that that was a part of their movie’s scene.
The Fifty Shades of Grey actress was reportedly dating Coldplay’s Chris Martin, while Pascal is still single.
Is Pedro Pascal Gay?
Well, there have been a lot of speculations regarding Pedro Pascal’s sexuality as the actor has always kept his personal life private. Some viral paparazzi shots of Pascal with Omar Apollo created a lot of buzz about him being in the queer community as Apollo is openly gay. In an interview with GQ, Pascal opened up about his close friendship with the musician. He said,
Omar is a very good friend of mine. I love his music. He’s also like me, someone who grew up bilingual. He loves Corona, I’ve had Corona with him. And so I love being a friend in each other’s journeys, and uplifting whatever I can creatively, supporting whatever creative experience that he’s having as a friend, as an artist, as a Latino, as a Spanish speaker. It just means a lot to me. But anything else about his album before it comes out, you’re going to have to ask him.
While Pascal subtly dodged the speculations about his close relationship with Omar Apollo, we don’t know for sure what’s the current status of his dating life. Pedro Pascal is now only interested in expanding his acting skills in his upcoming projects. If he ever decides to tell the world about his partner, it will probably be when he puts a ring on it. Till then, we all have to wait.
