Pedro Pascal’s first reported celebrity girlfriend is Maria Dizzia, whom he dated back in the 1990s, according to The Sun. Dizzia is also an actor who eventually landed roles in critically acclaimed fare like “Orange Is the New Black” and “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” They also co-starred on “Law & Order” in the 2000s. The origins of their romance remain a mystery, leaving many to wonder if there’s any truth to the claims. After all, they were apparently romantically linked around the time when Pascal was still finding his footing in Hollywood with small roles in shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Undressed.”
According to Sarah Paulson, Pascal struggled so much in those days that she took it upon herself to financially support him. “He’s talked about this publicly, but there were times when I would give him my per diem from a job I was working on so that he could have money to feed himself,” she told Esquire. At that point, Pascal had nearly quit trying to make it big as an actor. “I died so many deaths,” he said. “My vision of it was that if I didn’t have some major exposure by the time I was twenty-nine years old, it was over, so I was constantly readjusting what it meant to commit my life to this profession.”
With that being said, it can be hard to fathom how struggling actor Pascal found the time to date around. Dizzia, though, found her happily ever after with playwright Will Eno, with whom she shares one child.
