Despite their celebrity status, Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy wish to keep their romance out of the highlight.
“We’re excellent at keeping it as private as we will,” Woodall, 28, shared in an interview with Elle published on Tuesday, February 4. “To me, that’s the one way. You see public relationships on a regular basis slapped over social media and I can’t imagine that’s any fun.”
The One Day star went on to notice that an individual’s relationship “needs to be a secure space,” adding, “So, I believe letting people into it is totally counterproductive.”
Woodall’s rare comment about his love life comes three years after he and Fahy, 34, met while filming season 2 of HBO’s The White Lotus. Though Haley Lu Richardson and Theo James played the pair’s love interests on-screen, the actors formed a romantic connection behind the scenes.
Romance rumors began to swirl across the time of the season’s October 2022 premiere. Fahy added fuel to the hearth that December,when she included several snaps of Woodall in an Instagram carousel of filming pics. “Sizzley Sicily,” she captioned the post. On the time, Woodall commented on the post with a bomb and seashell emoji.
Fahy played coy when asked whether there was any truth to the dating speculation during a January 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live. “I don’t kiss and tell,” she stated. After host Andy Cohen said “it will be delicious” in the event that they were together, she quipped, “For you, I’ll say, ‘Sure.’ No, no, no. I used to be kidding, simply because he wanted me to say it. … We’re friends.”
The pair’s romantic relationship went public in November 2023 after they were photographed kissing under an umbrella during a Recent York City outing. Fahy, nonetheless, stated she couldn’t “confirm or deny” her dating status on the Golden Globes in January 2024. “Suffice it to say Italy was good for me in multiple way,” she told Entertainment Tonight on the time.”
Only one month later, Fahy went Instagram official with Woodall by sharing a sweet snap of the pair having fun with a time out. Within the post’s comments, Woodall hilariously asked, “Who’s he?!”
The 2 have continued to share rare glimpses into their private life together via social media. “Jolly ol’ time on the Emmys 🕺,” Woodall wrote alongside Instagram snaps of himself on the January 2024 awards ceremony, including a pic of himself along with his former costar.
Fahy, for her part, included a photograph of her and Woodall’s shadows sharing a kiss on the beach in a Recent Yr’s Instagram post on January 7, which she captioned, “Just making the cut for the last day Larry David says you possibly can say blissful latest yr!!”
Woodall was also tagged in Fahy’s latest Instagram post on Tuesday, which included a video of him attempting to hit her with a snowball. “January was wet, Harry Potter or death 🔪,” she wrote alongside the pics and clip.
