Paul Mescal has pulled out all the stops to support his girlfriend Gracie Abrams and has flown across the world to join her in New Zealand as she continues her The Secret Of Us Tour.

The Gladiator II star, 29, was pictured earlier this week at Auckland’s Bruce Tattoo studio alongside Gracie, 25, and tattoo artist Madison Taiapa – fuelling speculation the couple may have marked the trip with matching inkings.

Tattoo artist Tom Hinston shared the photo on Instagram, showing a dressed-down Paul in a black hoodie while cradling a dog. The snap was later re-posted by fans online.

‘Despite their busy schedules, the couple is making each other a priority,’ an insider told People magazine last month. 

‘There’s no denying the strong chemistry between Paul and Gracie, true lovebirds.’

It is not clear whether Paul or Gracie – daughter of Star Wars director J.J. Abrams – got inked during their visit to the tattoo parlour.

The Oscar-nominated actor is known to be a fan of body art, with several tattoos including ones that nod to his family and one related to the hit BBC series Normal People, in which he starred opposite Daisy Edgar Jones.

This latest snap suggests the couple are stronger than ever after the couple were spotted locked in a tearful argument while dining at a trendy restaurant in London’s Soho, causing Gracie to storm out earlier this year. 

However weeks later they appeared to have patched things up as they were pictured looking very affectionate outside the Noel Coward Theatre where Paul was starring in A Streetcar Named Desire.

An onlooker told MailOnline at the time: ‘Paul came out of the stage door to say hello to about 100 fans and was signing autographs.

‘Gracie was standing on the street watching on but stayed very much back, in the shadows, so she was not noticed.

‘She kept a very low profile.

‘Paul then walked back into the theatre and, after the fans cleared off, he reappeared. She was waiting for him and they went round the corner to hide.

‘They were kissing and hugging before walking off arm-in-arm to dinner.’

The couple were first linked last July but have kept their relationship incredibly private. 

The Mail on Sunday revealed in January that Paul and the singer shocked diners at the restaurant Jolene in north London by having a public argument.

A source said: ‘They were sitting at a table opposite each other and Paul had his head in his hands as Gracie just sat there crying.

‘She was crying so much that he then started to cry too. She got up and walked out of the restaurant while they were halfway through their meal and he was left to pay.’

Back in February Gracie spoke cryptically about relationships as she described what a healthy one feels like.

She said: ‘What I love about a healthy relationship is that your life doesn’t radically change. You just fit into each other in a way that feels positively challenging and deeply supportive—it’s like a place to land.’
