Being hailed as “the internet’s daddy” can be a pretty big responsibility for Pedro Pascal, especially since his love life isn’t talked about much in the media. The actor, known for his roles in Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian, has been linked to a couple of women (and men!), but never confirmed any of the rumors.
One of those speculations was his relationship with fellow Game of Thrones star Lena Headey, which was fueled even more in 2014 after they were spotted together many times outside of the set.
Pedro Pascal Had A Vague Response To Romance Rumors With Lena Headey
Many fans grew hopeful at the time that something was blossoming between Pedro Pascal and Lena Headey because – let’s be honest – they would have been a cute pair. Despite the numerous paparazzi shots, they never confirmed the real deal. The only time the Chilean star said anything about his involvement with Headey was in a Reddit Q&A (via Daily Mail):
Lena is one of my favorite persons. And 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.
Evidently, they did not end up together, which is definitely a missed opportunity. Oberyn Martell probably might have lived longer in the show knowing how fans would love to see more of Pascal and Headey together in one frame. For instance, take a look at this very cozy picture of them:
Pascal was also linked to his Law & Order costar Maria Dizzia in the early ‘90s. They reportedly dated for an entire decade, but this was never confirmed. The same goes with his The Mentalist co-star Robin Tunney. They were spotted together numerous times at different events, but it seemed like they were really just friends since the actress was already engaged at the time.
There are really not a lot of details surrounding Pascal’s love life because the man is so private. Or, he could be dating someone right now and we don’t know. Perhaps he’s the type of celebrity who doesn’t date for the media’s attention.
Pedro Pascal Sparks Gay Rumors After Being Spotted With Omar Apollo
Pascal is now a hot-shot star so all eyes are on him – even the time he was spotted hanging out with singer Omar Apollo. The viral paparazzi shots fueled rumors that the actor could be part of the queer community (obviously, we’re here for it!).

The Mexican-American hitmaker is openly gay, and he and Pascal are both of Latin-American blood, so the bond is definitely stronger. It was never confirmed, though, but it seems like they have known each other for quite some time after The Last of Us star was seen attending SZA’s concert in March 2023 and Apollo was one of the acts.
Perhaps it’s also good to mention that Pascal has never been married, so the actor probably keeps his options open when it comes to relationships.
Game of Thrones is available to watch on HBO as of August 17, 2024.
