The internet’s daddy, Pedro Pascal, was recently spotted hanging out with Grammy Award-winning singer Omar Apollo. The paparazzi shot instantly went viral online as soon as it was shared by pop culture fan accounts like @PopCrave.
Though Pascal has never identified himself as queer, he is a huge ally to the LGBTQ+ community. In turn, Apollo is one of the most popular LGBTQ+ singers of our time. They’re both also Latin-American men – Pascal was born in Chile, whereas Apollo’s parents are Mexican.
Now, fans are starting to piece together some of the pieces that might’ve led Pascal and Apollo to hang out and get spotted together in this paparazzi shot that’s gone viral.

One TikTok user in particular, @mariahkat, has put together a sort of timeline of interactions between Pascal and Apollo that had been seen by the public. She started:
“Pedro Pascal and Omar Apollo were seen out today in New York City, and this photo right here is going viral on Twitter. Fans are freaking out that these two are together. It does look like Omar just played at Madison Square Garden six days ago. So he was definitely in New York for the show. But I just wanted to dig a little bit more and see if there's any history between these two.”
@mariahkat continued:
“So the first thing I found was this clip back from March of Pedro at a SZA concert, and Omar Apollo was performing. Pedro was jamming out watching Omar with a big smile on his face. And, yeah, you can go watch the video on Twitter. It’s so cute.”

“More recently, in July, Pedro commented a heart-eye emoji on this photo shoot that Omar did for Loewe’s Fall Winter 2023 men’s campaign… so that’s some tea,” the TikToker continued. “I mean, I don’t really know if anything is going on between them. They might just be really good friends.”
She noted, “But there is a pretty large age gap. Omar is 26…”
“…while Pedro is 48. But, yeah, I just wanna hear what you guys think about this. I’m kind of obsessed. Low-key,” @mariahkat concluded.
