Ladies and gents, allow us to introduce Pedro Pascal. Most recently, the Chilean-born actor won over audiences with his standout performance in HBO's The Last of Us, but he's also well known for his work on popular shows like Narcos, Game of Thrones, The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian

It didn't take long for the Internet to figure out that he's got a knack for playing fatherly roles—hence the "daddy" craze on social media. In response, Pascal told The Hollywood Reporter, "I am having fun with it. It seems a little role-related. There was a period where the Mandalorian is very daddy to baby Grogu, and Joel is very daddy to Ellie. These are daddy parts. That's what it is."

Although the actor confirmed that he's not a real-life dad (and doesn't intend to become one soon), fans are still curious to know more tabout his romantic life. Is he currently in a relationship? Who has he dated in the past? Keep reading for all the details on Pedro Pascal's dating history.

1. Maria Dizzia

Fun fact: Pascal and Maria Dizzia co-starred in the Law And Order episode “Tango” (season 18, episode 10). Pascal played a pimp named Tito Cabassa, while Dizzia played a sex worker named Sugar. 

According to The Sun, they briefly dated around that time, in 1990. However, neither of them publicly confirmed the relationship, and it's unclear how long they dated. Now, Dizzia is married to a British playwright named Will Eno, and they share a child.

2. Lena Headey

Rumors of a secret relationship quickly surfaced in 2014, when Pascal's Game of Thrones co-star, Lena Heady (aka Cersei Lannister), shared a romantic selfie with him on Instagram. At the time, she captioned the post, "Sunshine love."

Additionally, in December of that year, the actors were seen shopping together at The Grove in Los Angeles. And during a Reddit Q&A, when Pascal was asked their relationship, he said, “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.” Well, consider us intrigued.

The pair never publicly confirmed their relationship status, but we do know that Heady has since moved on to tie the knot with actor Marc Menchaca.

3. Robin Tunney

In 2015, Robin Tunney and Pascal spent a lot of time together, and they even made a few red-carpet appearances, including the 67th Emmy Awards. Plus, Pascal appeared as Marcus Pike—the love interest of Tunney's character, Lisbon— on her show The Mentalist in 2014.

Though there were dating rumors, Pascal and Tunney were likely just good friends—especially since Tunney was already engaged to Nick Marmet, who proposed in 2012. While discussing his former co-star, Pascal told Yahoo News, "I had an amazing time with Robin Tunney, she is a new friend, and it was a really friendly set."

Now, Tunney and Marmet are married with two children.

4. Who Is Pedro Pascal Currently Dating?

Pascal hasn't opened up about his love life in interviews or on social media, so it appears that the actor prefers to keep his romantic life private. Still, it's safe to assume that the star is currently single by choice, judging by his recent comments in Wired.

While discussing his character in The Last of Us, he said, "I think what’s scary about Joel is that none of us really know what we’d be capable of if faced with the idea of losing love. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, being alive or even being a human being is directly connected to the love you feel. Existing is connected to the love you feel toward a particular relationship—your child, your partner—and to lose that? Some people are not capable of applying rational thought to that kind of loss, or the threat of that loss, or the threat of that loss again."

He added, "That’s what makes you human and inhuman. It’s such a beautiful question that the video game poses. I avoid all of it by not having kids. And staying out of relationships."
