The Punisher hitmaker and Normal People star were first rumored to have been dating since last year. In June 2020, Phoebe Bridgers spoke about watching Paul Mescal's BBC hit and referred to him as 'the cute boy'.
Last month, Phoebe, 27, also shared a tweet about a funny incident with Mescal, where he mistakenly thought the Thousand Island Dressing is called "Hundred Years Sauce".
