The internet’s favourite indie couple Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers are officially engaged. Sorry to all the sad early 20s bisexuals in the chat.
Mescal announced their engagement in his profile for The Guardian.
The profile reads: “Mescal did, however, stay on long enough to exchange charged messages on Twitter and Instagram with the musician Phoebe Bridgers; the pair are now engaged.”
It was previously rumoured that the pair were engaged in May when the singer reportedly referred to the actor as her “fiancé” while at Coachella, according to The Irish Mirror.
One attendee said Bridgers was telling people in the crowd she and Mescal were engaged. Another noted that the pair “made out during Caroline Polachek‘s Coachella set”. Iconic. I hope it was to “Ocean of Tears”.
Honestly this all sounds like a Sally Rooney novel.
Paul Mescal also walked on stage during Bridgers’ Coachella set.

Unpopular opinion maybe but did Phoebe Bridgers HAVE to get engaged to Paul Mescal? With everything going on in the world, climate change, world hunger and everything I don’t know it just feels wrong.

The pair went Instagram official in December 2021.

The loved-up couple were then spotted doing some cute shit in Melbourne’s Fitzroy in February. Broadsheet writer Tomas Telegramma said he spotted the couple walking past the company’s office after 11:30 in the morning. They appeared to be doing some certified cute shit in the state’s hipster capital.
“They were casually walking hand in hand on the corner of Smith and Moor streets,” he said.
Telegramma said the Punisher singer was sporting her signature skeleton tee. But the Normal People star apparently looked less recognisable and had grown out a bit of a beard. Hot.
Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers were first romantically linked in 2020.
