One of our new favorite celebrity couples is Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers. The Normal People actor and singer were initially believed to be dating in 2020, and they ultimately made their relationship public a year later before turning red carpet and Instagram official.
These two have been an ideal match despite coming from Ireland and Los Angeles, respectively. We adore it when an unlikely couple clicks. Starting with the latest information, here is what we currently know about their relationship…
Indeed it’s not true! Despite last month’s rumors of an engagement, there is widespread speculation that Paul and Phoebe have broken up. Despite the lack of information about what indeed occurred, outlets were included. She has reportedly been seen with comic Bo Burnham, according to Jezebel.
Onlookers allegedly saw Burnham and Bridgers “making out” and “canoodling” lately, as well as attending a play at the Connelly Theater in New York, where he allegedly gave her his “undivided attention,” according to the 15th December episode of the Deux U podcast.
The two were also captured on camera together at a performance by The 1975, in which Phoebe is seen kissing singer Matty Healy.

It’s the modern-day meet cute. Bridgers, like any other ordinary person who binged Normal People during the lockdown, rushed to Twitter to express her love for the show. “Finished normal people and now I’m depressed and horny oh wait,” the singer wrote. Mescal answered, “I’m officially dead,” after firing his shot. We are as well. But wait, there’s more. Bridgers responded flirtatiously, “nooo don’t die, you’re so great aha.” We enjoy seeing it.
I'm officially dead.

Mescal and Bridgers electronically met for the first time in front of the account’s 1 million followers while hosting an Instagram live for Wonderland Magazine. What followed was 20 awkward yet endearing minutes of what appeared to be the couple’s first date.
During one of the live performances, Mescal commented, “I think it’s well documented that I love your music,” to which the artist replied, “well, it makes me blush.”
Bridgers told NME that she “felt a little pitter-patter in my heart” when she discovered Mescal, whom she referred to as “the cute boy,” had following her on Instagram. The queen is relatable.
Furthermore, Bridgers revealed that after finishing her album Punisher, she personally mailed a copy to Mescal. Was this love at the first hearing?

While the couple had only interacted on social media, an unexpected in-person meeting caught fans off guard. Bridgers, who lives in Los Angeles, came to Ireland to meet with the actor. We like bringing a long-distance partnership together.
Although the couple attempted to keep this a secret, the restaurant (where the pair dined for breakfast) took it upon itself to spread the word. The Lemon Tree Cafe revealed the couple in a tweet by stating “Thank you for stopping by our café for breakfast this morning, @mescal paul and @phoebe bridgers. Such fantastic young talent #Celebrities #musicaltalent #Staycation2020 #breakfast #voiceofageneration “. It’s all about the hashtags for us.

Mescal tells GQ that he is cuffed and that he has a girlfriend but would rather that their name “be kept out of the news.” While we might infer he was referring to Bridgers, Mescal made a remark about her “Support and direction have been invaluable. Having someone to lean on in such a crazy, crazy time has been wonderful. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without her.”
This cinematic noir classic, directed by Fleabag actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, stars Bridgers and Mescal against each other for the music video for Bridgers’ “Savior Complex.” The music video stars a disheveled (yet swoon-worthy) Mescal as a con artist, accompanied by a gorgeous of puppy named Charlotte.
Mescal posted a lovely behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram, “I’m sure there is a joke somewhere about this actually being the two most powerful Phoebes in the world, but I’m not witty enough to find it.”
During the Halloween season, the couple was photographed at a Halloween party on a friend’s Instagram. What about their pair of costumes? Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, complete with stick-on tattoos, a black wig, and a faux-Mugler outfit. Iconic.
Gucci hired Bridgers to model in their celebrated Spring/Summer 2022 fashion show ‘Love Parade’ on Hollywood Boulevard. Mescal, who looked like the most stylish bellhop we’ve ever seen, cheered Bridgers on from the front row as she made her catwalk debut.
Bridgers and Mescal make their red carpet debut as a couple after months of speculation. Both dressed to the nines in Gucci for the LACMA Art + Film Gala, the duo passionately hug and giggle as Mescal drapes an arm around Bridgers’ waist. Goals.
Bridgers disclosed an interesting tidbit about Mescal in a tweet that went viral.
“Paul thinks Thousand Island is called Hundred Years Sauce,” the social media post said. To be honest, we don’t blame him.
While we file this bit of knowledge under “things we didn’t need to know but are glad we do,” we enjoy the public shaming.

Bridgers makes their romance public on Instagram, posting a super-sweet selfie of the couple on a pier. Mescal is tenderly pressing his face into hers in the photo, and we can’t help but hope he would do the same to us. The photograph’s best feature? They were wearing matching black hoodies. Bridgers paired hers with a leather jacket in typical SoCal fashion, while Mescal went for a classic British windbreaker.
View this post on InstagramPaul and Phoebe attend the Met Gala together just days after she supposedly announced him to her Coachella audience as her fiancée. Nobody gave it any mind until he was seen sporting a ring on his engagement finger. Is this to say Phoebe proposed and Paul accepted?! We don’t know because neither of them has commented on it since…talk about a cliffhanger.
The actor made a brief appearance in Bridgers’ Sidelines music video, which featured a compilation of behind-the-scenes footage from her live performances. Cute.
The pair are now looking to buy a home in Paul’s native Ireland, specifically Schull in West Cork, according to the Irish Examiner. They’ll also have some good neighbors, as actress Saoirse Ronan owns property in the vicinity.

According to Phoebe, the couple first met in person when Paul suggested they collaborate on something. That something was the music video for “Savior Complex,” directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starring the actor. It wasn’t long before rumors of a possible romance began to circulate.
Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers, two musicians, originally connected on social media. In 2020, right when both of their careers were taking off, they “met” for the first time on Instagram Live. Bridgers and Mescal were reportedly engaged after two years of dating.
Since the summer of 2020, a relationship between the Normal People actor and “Motion Sickness” singer has been rumored. One of Hollywood’s greatest It couples may have called it quits recently, but we could certainly call them an official couple since they made their red carpet debut at the 2021 LACMA Art+Film Gala on November 6, 2022.
