Natalie Portman and Paul Mezcal were spotted having an absolute ball together in London this week.

In a photo published by The Daily Mail, 2 actors can be seen enjoying a cigarette break together outside Bar69 in the Islington area of the British capital.

In the photo, both Portman, 42, and Mezcal, 28, can be seen laughing loudly, clearly delighted with each other's company, coincidentally both wearing very similar white T-shirts, seemingly coordinating their outfits, but almost certainly not.

The photo comes just months after the Black Swan actress married in 2012 and finalized her divorce from Benjamin Milpeed, who was alleged to have been unfaithful to Portman. They share their children Aleph and Amalia. 2 people reportedly broke up in 2023 and told people on May 3 of this year that "Natalie is getting out of a really tough and painful year, but she's coming out stronger from the other side and feeling joy in her family, friends and work."

Speaking of friends... We are all sure that Portman and Mezcal can agree to be 1 of the most beautiful couples ever, but unfortunately for those who are nosy among us, one source told people that they are just friends.

But it's not the first time Portman and Mescal have really liked each other.

On May 12, 2 people shared a chat as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series. Mezcal began the conversation by saying to Portman, "I just want to say how completely amazing you are on the 5th of the 12th month..

Elsewhere, the Thor actress told the Aftersun Star, "That's what impressed us all strangers so much. Your character is like a dream man. He is so emotionally available, caring and loving to the point that it was fantasy. But you can make it a reality."

Mezcal is very universally considered to be very attractive, which means he ends up romantically linked to a whole bunch of fellow Hollywood stars, but rumors generally turn out to be unfounded. In his time, fans have speculated that he might be dating things like Daisy Edgar Jones, Angelina Jolie, and Ayo Edevili, their claims

during which time he actually had a relationship with Phoebe Bridgers between 2020 and 2022. It was a great experience.
