Olarra used to date Luke Evans, and they were together publicly from 2019 to 2021. Now, after being seen with Pascal – someone she’s known for years – people are wondering if there’s a new connection between them.

Pascal is making a public appearance at a busy time in his career. He’s preparing for the release of the movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau, which will finally bring his character Din Djarin and the beloved Grogu to movie theaters.

Pascal has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first playing Reed Richards in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps.’ He’s set to reprise the role in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ which features Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and is directed by the Russo brothers.

Beyond his work in big franchises, Pascal has been expanding his roles. He recently appeared in “Materialists” with Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, and also starred in Ari Aster’s “Eddington” alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone.

Olarra has left professional football and is now an art director at the Faena luxury hotel group. It’s unknown whether a recent outing in New York with someone was just friendly or a date, but the pictures have definitely gotten people talking online.
