Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers have broken a million hearts amid the news they're reportedly engaged.
Normal People actor Paul Mescal and US singer Phoebe Bridgers are apparently engaged following months of rumours.
The couple are yet to publicly confirm their news, but speculation they're set to wed is only growing online following an interview Paul did with The Guardian in which they stated the pair are 'reported to be engaged'.

Paul and Phoebe have been linked together since 2020 but only confirmed their relationship on Instagram earlier this year.
He didn’t address their relationship in his interview with The Guardian, but in a chat with GQ Magazine he shared a little insight into their romance after they first connected online in lockdown.
Paul said: "To have someone to lean on through such a mad, mad time has been invaluable. Really, I don’t know where I’d be without her."
Meanwhile, she recalled in a previous interview with NME that she ‘got a little pitter-patter in my heart’ when she saw ‘the cute boy from Normal People’ had followed her on Instagram.
They went on to chat during a livestream, with the pair gushing over each other’s talents.

Because nice things should be celebrated, I love that Phoebe Bridgers and Paul Mescal are engaged.
It’s doubly cute because Phoebe willed the entire relationship into existence on Twitter, which led to a flirtatious IG live, a music video and now this… ❤️ ???? ???? pic.twitter.com/g1K1KOmBWc

Over on Twitter, fans are losing it over the news of their engagement.

Another tweeted: “i know we all already knew but now paul mescal and phoebe bridgers are officially OFFICIALLY engaged. 2 sexiest people in the planet off the market i’m in mourning.”
Referencing Paul quitting social media after the success of Normal People, another said: “Paul mescal was on twitter to promote normal people, shoot his shot at phoebe bridgers and then never logged back in. now he’s engaged and starring in oscar buzz movies. what can leaving twitter do for you."
Others have pointed out they’d be ‘throwing it in everyone’s face’ if they’d just got engaged to Paul Mescal.
