Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers have broken a million hearts amid the news they're engaged.
Normal People actor Paul Mescal and US singer Phoebe Bridgers are reportedly engaged after The Guardian seemingly let the news slip in an interview with the 26-year-old.
The publication casually wrote he and Phoebe, 28, ‘are now engaged’ but later updated it to read ‘are reported to be engaged.’

He didn’t address their relationship in his interview with The Guardian, but in a chat with GQ Magazine he shared a little insight into their romance after they first connected online in lockdown.
Paul said: "To have someone to lean on through such a mad, mad time has been invaluable. Really, I don’t know where I’d be without her."
Meanwhile, she recalled in a previous interview with NME that she ‘got a little pitter-patter in my heart’ when she saw ‘the cute boy from Normal People’ had followed her on Instagram.
They went on to chat during a livestream, with the pair gushing over each other’s talents.
