Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and Pete Davidson are ‘trying to make a long distance romance work’

Bridgerton‘s Phoebe Dynevor and Pete Davidson are reportedly trying to make a long distance romance work.

The actress, 25, and comedian, 27, were first linked in March after being spotted by fans in her hometown of Altrincham, Greater Manchester.  

A source has now told US Weekly: ‘Pete and Phoebe are still going strong despite not being able to physically spend time together.

‘Right now, they’re just focused on work. They’re not looking to rush things.’

The insider added that they’ve been ‘trying to make long distance work’ by keeping in touch over FaceTime and text. 

Giving another insight to the reported new romance, the source claimed that Pete makes Phoebe laugh and is even hoping to visit for her birthday later in April.  

MailOnline has contacted Phoebe and Pete’s representatives for further comment.

Phoebe is currently busy filming Sky Original drama The Colour Room in Birmingham where she plays real-life pottery pioneer Clarice Cliff.

It was first reported that Phoebe and Pete had ‘grown close’ after he flew from New York to Phoebe’s hometown in March. 

The pair are believed to have spent some time together on both sides of the pond, as Phoebe visited New York, where the Saturday Night Live star lives, in February to film TV series Younger.

A Facebook page called Altrincham HQ shared an image of Pete wearing sunglasses and a black face covering as he posed with two fans who spotted the American in the UK last month.

The profile claimed Pete is ‘staying over in Altrincham with friends’ and said it was ‘bizarre’ for him to be in the market town.  

And in February, Phoebe shared a selection of images to her Instagram profile believed to be taken in Brooklyn, New York, alongside the caption: ‘Grateful I got to be here for a hot sec’ with a love heart emoji. 

The actress was in NYC to film scenes for TV series Younger that she stars in alongside Sutton Foster, 46, and Hilary Duff, 33. 

Phoebe’s rep declined to comment to MailOnline when asked about the relationship.

Pete is the ex-fiancé of superstar Ariana Grande, 27, who he was engaged to for four months until October 2018 when they ended their relationship.

Ariana later referenced Pete in her song Thank U, Next with the lyric: ‘Even almost got married, and for Pete, I’m so thankful.’  

While Phoebe is the daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, 57, who plays Sally Webster, and she first appeared on TV aged 14 with roles in Snatch and later Waterloo Road.

But she rose to prominence in Bridgerton, shooting raunchy love scenes with onscreen husband Rege-Jean Page, 31.  

The first became Netflix’s most-watched original series ever after debuting in December with 82million households watching in its first 28 days. 

In January, Phoebe was pictured alongside her mum Sally at a local farmers’ market in Manchester after she moved back home amid the coronavirus lockdown. 

Pete had a relationship with British actress Kate Beckinsale, 47, in 2019, and laughed off criticism over their 20-year age gap.

He said: ‘It doesn’t really bother us. But then again, I’m new to this. 

‘So if you have questions about a relationship with a big age difference, just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Statham, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Disick, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, whoever the president of France is, Mel Gibson, Jagger…’ 

Pete also romanced Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley, 26, daughter of Four Weddings and a Funeral’s Andie MacDowell, and last year he dated Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, 19. 

Phoebe’s last relationship is thought to have been with Skins actor Sean Teale, 28, in 2017.
