Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams celebrate Hamnet winning a BAFTA with a sweet kiss

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams celebrated Hamnet winning Outstanding British Film at the 2026 British Academy Film Awards with a sweet kiss. The actor, who portrayed William Shakespeare in the film, attended the ceremony with his girlfriend at London's Royal Festival Hall. After Stormzy announced the film had won, the camera cut to the Hamnet cast and crew and Paul was seen leaning in to give Gracie a kiss. The couple have been in a relationship since 2024 but have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight until now. The Normal People star and his girlfriend packed on the PDA as they made their red carpet debut as a couple before the ceremony.
