If the whispers are to be believed then it appears Saturday Night Live‘s Pete Davidson is courting Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor. What a match, indeed. Please read that in Julie Andrews‘ Lady Whistledown’s voice, otherwise I’m just going to sound like a dong.
This week, Dynevor was spotted in a small town in the UK with none other than Davidson by her side.
Tilly Wagg, 14, told local publication StokeonTrentLive that she spotted the pair outside her home in Caverswall, Straffordshire.
“They walked past our house and we saw them holding hands and hugging each other,” Wagg said.
Sounds pretty coupley, if you ask me.
Wagg said she then approached Davidson because she wasn’t sure he was him, or not.
“I walked up to him and asked him if it was Pete Davidson and he said ‘no’ in an English accent but then later he said ‘I’m just kidding’ in an American accent. It was quite funny,” Wagg said, adding that he also posed for a picture with her.
The school student said she was pretty chuffed to spot a celebrity in her village, as they don’t usually attract that type around their neck of the woods.
“It was strange to see them in Caverswall. I’ve never seen a famous person, never mind outside my house,” Tilly said.
Rumours about the two first sprouted earlier this week, after the gossip mongers at Page Six ran a yarn about Dynevor apparently “spending time” with Davidson in the UK.
The longtime SNL star was randomly spotted in Altrincham, Greater Manchester last week by a fan.
Word around the block is the pair met in New York when Dynevor flew there in February to film Younger. Davidson lives in New York, where he films SNL on the reg.
Dynevor is one of the breakout stars from Netflix’s aggressively popular series, Bridgerton. According to co-star Nicola Coughlan, who stars as Penelope Featherington, filming on season 2 hasn’t started just yet. It’s cumming though.
In the meantime, Dynevor is about to start filming The Colour Room in Stoke-on-Trent and Birmingham. The biopic is about ceramic artist Clarice Cliff and co-stars absolute daddy Matthew Goode.
Bridgerton is streaming now on Netflix.
