Leo Woodall Finally Opens Up About Meghann Fahy Romance

Leo Woodall has finally broken his silence on his relationship with Meghann Fahy in a candid new interview with ELLE UK. While the British actor’s career is skyrocketing, thanks to his breakout role in The White Lotus and his upcoming turn in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, he remains steadfast about keeping his personal life under wraps.

For months, speculation has surrounded Woodall and Fahy’s romance, with fans piecing together clues from social media and rare public sightings. But now, the 28-year-old actor has addressed his relationship directly—though he’s making it clear that privacy is a top priority.

“It Should Be a Safe Space” – Leo on Keeping Romance Private

Speaking with ELLE UK, Leo Woodall shared his philosophy on fame, the challenges of being in the public eye, and why he prefers to keep his love life off social media.

“We’re very good at keeping it as private as we can,” he admitted. “To me, that’s the only way. You see public relationships all the time, slapped all over social media, and I can’t imagine that’s any fun.”

Woodall emphasized that while he understands public curiosity, he believes relationships should remain sacred, away from the noise of the internet.

“It should be a safe space, and so I think letting people into it is completely counterproductive,” he explained. His remarks suggest that, despite their growing fame, he and Fahy are committed to maintaining a sense of normalcy in their relationship—something many Hollywood couples struggle to achieve.

From ‘The White Lotus’ to Real-Life Romance: A Timeline of Leo & Meghann’s Relationship

Fans of The White Lotus were first introduced to the duo in Season 2 of the hit HBO series, where Meghann Fahy played the seemingly carefree yet emotionally complex Daphne Sullivan, while Leo Woodall took on the role of Essex bad boy Jack. While their characters never had a romantic connection on-screen, their chemistry behind the scenes was undeniable.

Rumors of a budding romance first surfaced in late 2022 when the pair were spotted together outside of work. However, it wasn’t until February 2023 that Fahy made things Instagram official, sharing a cozy snapshot of them walking arm-in-arm down a cobblestone street. Though she kept the caption playful—opting for a smiley face, a slice of pizza, and a blue heart emoji—fans quickly put two and two together. Leo Woodall’s cheeky comment on the post, “Who is he?!”, only fueled further speculation.

Despite the occasional social media tease, the couple has largely kept their relationship out of the limelight, a rarity in an era where celebrity romances often play out in real time for millions of followers.

Leo Woodall on Fame, Heartthrob Status, and Working with Renée Zellweger

While Leo Woodall is making headlines for his relationship, his career is also hitting new heights. The actor is set to star opposite Oscar-winner Renée Zellweger in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, playing Roxster, a younger love interest for Bridget.

When asked about his new status as a Hollywood heartthrob, Woodall didn’t shy away from admitting the pressure that comes with it.

“It’s pressure, man. I’m someone who, when I’m not working—like at Christmas—I just want to sit at home and get fat,” he joked.

However, preparing for Bridget Jones required a bit more discipline.

“Even with Roxster, there’s no reason why he should be ripped. I don’t think I am that ripped. It’s just hard for me because I f**ing love pizza and beer. But for this, I had to really go to the gym; it’s part of the job,”* he admitted.

That discipline became even more evident when he saw his co-star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, in peak physical form.

“Then I saw Chiwetel took his top off, and he was so ripped. And I was thinking, ‘You f**er’. I don’t even think he went to the gym!”* he quipped.

Addressing the Age Gap Debate in Hollywood

With Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy set to explore an age-gap romance—Zellweger is 54, while Leo Woodall’s character is much younger—he was asked about his take on relationships with significant age differences.

“It’s not a new thing,” he stated. “Relationships like this exist everywhere. But I guess people take more notice because they aren’t used to it. So hopefully, the more we see it on screen, the more we get used to it.”

His remarks reflect a growing conversation in Hollywood about double standards when it comes to age-gap relationships. While older male actors have long been paired with younger women on screen without much criticism, the same dynamic with older women often sparks debate. Leo Woodall’s perspective suggests he hopes to see those attitudes shift.

Keeping Romance Private in a Digital Age

While Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy remain tight-lipped about their romance, their approach is refreshing in an industry where high-profile relationships often become spectacles. By prioritizing privacy, they are able to focus on their careers and personal lives without the added pressure of public scrutiny.

For now, fans will have to settle for the occasional glimpse into their relationship—whether through a cryptic Instagram post or a rare public outing. But if Woodall’s words are anything to go by, he’s more than happy keeping the world guessing.
