He became the nation's heartthrob last year when Normal People aired, but it sounds like Paul Mescal is officially off the market.
The Irish actor, who celebrated his 25th birthday this week, appears to be dating American songstress Phoebe Bridgers, 26. Paul re-posted a photo of himself that Phoebe had shared on her Instagram Stories, showing the actor holding a sky-high pile of pizza boxes.

Last November, the Irishman confirmed he has a girlfriend but was reluctant to name her. "To have someone to lean on through such a mad, mad time has been invaluable," he told GQ magazine, while calling his partner a "life-saver". "Really, I don't know where I'd be without her."
Phoebe, meanwhile, has also referred to the TV star as a "cute boy" and her "internet crush" in interviews. After he followed her on Instagram, Phoebe admitted she felt "a little pitter-patter in my heart".

Paul and Phoebe were first romantically linked in July, when they enjoyed breakfast at a café in Kinsale, County Cork. The Lemon Leaf Café confirmed the couple's meal out on their Instagram account, revealing: "Breakfast for Champions big thank you to @_fake_nudes_ @paul.mescal for choosing us for breakfast. Enjoy Kinsale #staycation2020 #breakfastofchampions #greatfood #celebs #punisher #normalpeople."

The pair's chemistry has been clear to see judging by their past cute social media interactions. They filmed an Instagram Live together in May, with many fans saying it had "first date vibes".
And it sounds like Paul was already a big fan of Phoebe before he shot into the limelight. Sharing his Spotify Wrapped results in December 2019, it was revealed that Phoebe was his most-played artist of the year.
