Rumors of a romantic entanglement between Emmy Award-winning actress Ayo Edebiri and “All of Us Strangers” star Paul Mescal have been swirling online. The speculation ignited when Edebiri shared an adorable photo of the pair on her Instagram story to mark St. Patrick’s Day, adding a cheerful “Happy St. Paddy’s” caption.
The snapshot captures the duo seated together on a staircase, with Edebiri beaming widely and closing her eyes while Mescal gazes directly at the camera, one hand resting on Edebiri’s lap.
The cozy image has prompted fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship. However, some followers also speculate that the two may be collaborating on a project together. Interestingly, Mescal has roots in Irish heritage, while Edebiri garnered attention online for humorously claiming she resided in Ireland to prepare for her role as a stubborn donkey in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” complete with an exaggerated Irish accent. This playful jest sparked a reaction from Irish fans who jokingly embraced her as their own “princess.”
In a November 2023 interview with Awards Watch, Mescal expressed his desire to collaborate with Edebiri on a movie, suggesting a romantic comedy as a potential project, stating, “I think in the next five years I’m going to set myself a challenge to do maybe like a rom-com with Ayo (Edebiri) or something like that would be cool.”
In response, Edebiri, also speaking to Awards Watch, quipped, “So, is someone writing a script for us now, or what?” expressing her openness to the idea provided a suitable script materializes. She further praised Mescal’s talent, expressing a desire to see him explore comedic roles while still retaining elements of heartfelt drama, envisioning a rom-com with a twist akin to “About Time.”
The playful banter between the two stars has only fueled speculation about potential collaborations, leaving fans eager to see what the future holds for this dynamic duo.
