A week earlier, the couple struggled to hide their romance when they were spotted ‘making out a lot’ during a date in London’s Mayfair.
According to one visitor, they looked ‘in love’ as they strolled through the chic streets before heading to a nearby park.
The onlooker told MailOnline that the couple didn’t appear ‘shy’ about their feelings for each other as they kissed in the sunshine.
It comes after the pair were spotted shopping together in the capital last month, a source told The Sun at that moment: ‘Paul and Gracie looked like any other young couple going shopping, and they almost went unnoticed.
‘They seemed very relaxed in each other’s company and were busy browsing the chic shops on Bond Street.
‘Paul is a very modest person, just like Gracie, so there was no fuss and they kept their distance from each other when they were out on the street.’
The insider also claimed that Paul and the Close To You singer ‘left separately’ after their shopping trip and went home in their separate ways.
Gracie has been in the UK for a number of performances and is said to have stayed at the Chiltern Firehouse in central London.
Paul was not seen at any of her recent shows in Kingston, Bristol and Southampton, but the source said it was ‘telling’ that she chose to return to the capital again and again.
Paul previously dated singer Phoebe Bridgers and recently sparked rumors of a romance with Natalie Portman.
However, it was later claimed that Paul is ‘just friends’ with Natalie, who quietly finalised her divorce from Benjamin Millepied in March after rumours surfaced that he had been unfaithful.
