Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy are (finally!) officially on Instagram.
The former stars of the second season of “White Lotus” confirmed their long-suspected romance when they appeared arm-in-arm in a photo that Fahy posted on Instagram on February 20.
The photo of the couple was taken from behind and shows them walking with their arms wrapped around each other. It was taken almost a year and a half after the two actors were first linked.
Fahy tagged Woodall in the photo and captioned it with three emojis: a happy face, a slice of pizza and a blue heart.
Woodall, who is currently back in the spotlight as the star of the Netflix series “One Day,” commented with the joking question: “Who is he?!”
Fans were delighted with the long-awaited confirmation of the couple’s relationship. “FINALLY A HARD START,” wrote one.
In the second season of “The White Lotus,” which is set in Italy, Woodall plays Jack, the nephew of a wealthy tourist who is tasked with stealing an assistant from her boss.
Although Woodall didn’t spend much time with Fahy – who played Daphne, a wife on a couples’ getaway with her husband – on the HBO crime series, their off-screen chemistry was evident to fans, who noticed the two being photographed together since the season two finale aired in December 2022.
Representatives for Woodall and Fahy did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TODAY.com earlier this month.
Now that we know that the rumors about the nature of the couple’s relationship are true, let’s take a look back at how it all came to this.
