Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri took a photo together to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day — and there’s two takeaways … she’s committed to her Irish bit, and they may possibly be a thing.
The “Bear” star has her hand on the Irish actor’s shoulder in this picture she threw up on IG to celebrate St. Paddy’s Sunday — and he’s pretty into it, with his arm casually draped across her lap.
The grin on Ayo’s face kinda says it all … she’s more than comfortable in PM’s company.
Fans certainly felt the same vibe … going into overdrive with speculation that they may be dating. Some called them a cute couple, others said they looked good as friends too.
While the rumor mill is in full swing, this could obviously just be pals hanging out — as there’s no explicit signs of PDA to suggest this is anything romantic. If anything, this might just be Ayo continuing to lean into her “Irish” heritage … a bit she’s been into for a year or so now.
Long story short … Ayo goes around insisting she’s Irish and that she was in “The Banshees of Inisherin” — and because of her love for Ireland, Ireland seems to love her right back.
Paul, of course, is Irish himself … and he’s known to be friends with Ayo — so in all seriousness, this is probably just him helping his bud keep the gag going.
