Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, stars of Marvel’s Fantastic Four, caught people’s attention recently at the movie’s big red carpet premiere. Fans noticed how close Pascal was to Kirby, especially how he kept touching her during the event. This made some people curious about their relationship.

Pascal plays Reed Richards in the movie, while Kirby is Sue Storm. The film also stars Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. The cast was announced in February 2024, and since then, Pascal and Kirby have been spending a lot of time together filming and promoting the movie.

Even though fans wondered if they were dating, that’s not true. Vanessa Kirby is in a relationship with Paul Rabil and is expecting her first child. Pascal, on the other hand, isn’t known to be seeing anyone at the moment.

Pascal talked about their close connection in an interview with Jake Hamilton on Jake’s Take. He said, “I think that we really, really see each other in ourselves in terms of our care for what we do, our care for one another, and our mutual fears, our mutual expectations. We can be kind of hard on ourselves, and I just think that we’re very, very similar.”

At the premiere, Pascal was seen stroking Kirby’s arm and holding her wrist, which surprised some fans. Some even called it “weird.” But Pascal explained that the touching is just a way for them to support each other and remind one another that “we’re not alone in any of it.”

This is also far from the only example:

This isn’t new for the pair. Earlier in 2024, Kirby also showed support by holding Pascal’s hand when he needed it. Pascal has said before that human connection helps him deal with anxiety.

He explained, “When it started to feel so critical, I had to go back to what was always the comfort for me in life, which was engagement in my relationships, my friendships, and conversation and shared experience.”

Kirby also talked about their supportive moment in a Vanity Fair interview. She said, “What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic. He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.”
