Pedro Pascal and Franklin Latt: Inside the Power Partnership Behind His Biggest Moves

Pedro Pascal went to a Lakers game, sat courtside with his agent, and somehow the timeline turned it into a relationship seminar. Let me catch you up, and then we can all go back to enjoying basketball and good jackets.

The sighting: courtside, clean fits, and a couple of cameos

Pascal hit the Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on December 1, parked next to his agent and longtime pal Franklin Latt. Both kept it simple in black-and-white looks. Arena cams caught them side-by-side, and fan accounts did the rest.

There was also a quick moment with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers during the game. And at some point, a very lucky fan ended up with a photo featuring Pascal, Latt, and Andy Garcia. As you do on a random L.A. night out.

And then the internet did what the internet does

Within hours, people started pulling older photos and videos of Pascal and Latt together and decided that two men being physically affectionate must mean something else. You saw the posts: the 'they look like people who are dating' takes, the 'this is what Jim Parsons did before coming out' comments, and the general wink-wink energy that always crops up whenever a famous person shows warmth in public.

Look, it is almost 2026. Maybe we can quit treating speculation about someone else’s sexuality as a fandom sport. Especially when there is zero reason to link Pascal and Latt romantically.

So, who is Franklin Latt actually?

• He is a talent agent at CAA and has worked closely with the agency’s co-chairman, Kevin Huvane. Pascal signed with CAA in November 2022 after leaving WME.
• Latt has called his time as Huvane’s right hand a 'great education,' working across clients and departments.
• Movies were kind of the family business: his stepmother ran the Sundance Film Labs, and he grew up around it.
• Personal life: he proposed to his girlfriend, Lauren Alexander, in Polynesia in December 2022. His Instagram is private now, but her posts tell the story. She is also friendly with Pascal.
• Receipts of real-life closeness: Alexander shared a birthday video for Pascal earlier this year in London that included Vanessa Kirby, Pascal’s nephew Bruno Gaston, Latt, Susie Hall, Robert Diament, and more.
• Latt is also the brother of the late Michael Latt, the CEO of Lead with Love, who was killed in November 2023 at age 33. Michael was engaged to Hannaah Lovinggood. Franklin has been open about mourning his brother while getting on with life and work.

'Since I was 5 I’ve gone there and always loved cinema and always known that I’d somehow be involved in the business.'

Why this keeps bubbling up

Pascal has always been physically affectionate with friends and co-workers. Earlier this year, he was filmed fixing a stray piece of Latt’s hair, tucking it behind his ear, and walking off while Latt tried not to look flustered. It went viral. There were also the usual friendly snaps: a new photo he shared with Latt in January, and a behind-the-scenes moment of them getting ready for the Emmys in September.

Most people cheered it as, you know, emotional intelligence and non-toxic masculinity. A small handful found it 'too much.' But nothing in any of this suggests anything beyond a close friendship and a long-standing work relationship.

Bottom line

Pedro Pascal is famously single. Franklin Latt is happily engaged. They went to a basketball game, saw some friends, took some photos. That’s it. Not everything needs a conspiracy board and red string.
