The unlikely womanizer Pete Davidson and his much-talked about new passion, “Bridgerton” star Phoebe Dynevor, was seen “holding hands and hugging” in a picturesque English village by a local student.
Davidson and Dynevor – who have not yet confirmed their romance – were spotted in the village of Caverswall, Staffordshire, by 14-year-old Tilly Wagg, who appears to have won over the global showbiz media by declaring, “It looked like they were in a relationship and they they seemed happy together. “
Wagg, playing a young Lady Whistledown, told local news site StokeonTrentLive: “They passed our house and we saw them holding hands and hugging each other.”
Wagg says she approached Davidson, 27, for a selfie and the comic was in its usual form.
“I approached him and asked if it was Pete Davidson and he said ‘no’ with an English accent, but then he said, ‘I’m just playing’ with an American accent. It was very funny. “
Wagg, however, is not an “SNL” viewer or fan of Davidson’s film, “King of Staten Island”, but he recognized him from his previous involvement with pop star Ariana Grande.
“They were really cool and adorable,” she says of the pair. “I knew Pete Davidson in part because he is an ex for Ariana Grande and I listen to some of his songs.”
Grande is said to have written his hit “thank u, next” after his romance with Davidson ended in October 2018.
Dynevor, 25, is currently in North Staffordshire filming the new drama “The Color Room”, in which she plays Clarice Cliff, a pioneering 1920s pottery.
Page Six first reported on the unlikely romance on Monday, after learning that Davidson flew from New York to his hometown, Manchester, UK. Davidson was photographed in Altrincham, Greater Manchester – where Dynevor was staying with his mother during the pandemic – on Sunday.
The Netflix star had already spent time in New York, where Davidson lives, in early February. She was there to film her role on the hit show “Younger”.
A Dynevor representative declined to comment and Davidson representatives could not be reached immediately.
