Phoebe Dynevor is spilling the tea about her past relationship with Pete Davidson. Just in case you missed it, the 28-year-old actress and the 29-year-old former SNL star were an item in early 2021 but called it quits about halfway through the year.
Now, in a candid interview with Elle, Phoebe is getting real about their whirlwind romance and the lessons she learned from dating someone in the public eye.
She couldn’t help but express her surprise at the intense fan reaction when their romance went public. She said, “It just goes back to being naive – I didn’t think anyone would care. I was just being a young woman and dating, and somehow that provokes a conversation. There were lots of hard lessons I had to learn through basically just having a personal life.”
Those six months she spent with Pete were no walk in the park. Phoebe revealed, “This whole world that I was opened up to was really intimidating. Having men outside your house with cameras is super scary when you live on your own. There were men who would wait outside my house with cameras, and it was the same men a few times. I don’t want to go on the record and say that I was being stalked, but when you have paparazzi who are waiting outside your house, it definitely feels like that.”
And let’s not forget the stories that spun out of the photos taken during that period. Phoebe had her say on that too, “People are going to make up whatever story that they want to make from a few pictures, that’s fine. I had to learn to let things go and let it wash over my head instead of the normal reaction, which is to be like, ‘But that’s not true, and that didn’t happen.’ You have to let it go and focus on the work. I really am just here to act; I love my job so much, and it was weird for me that the attention was being taken away from my work.”
Phoebe Dynevor’s unfiltered take on her past relationship with Pete Davidson and the whirlwind of media attention that came with it is a reminder that even celebrities face the ups and downs of love and life, just like the rest of us.
