Love in the Time of Scheduling Chaos: Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor & SNL’s Pete Davidson
When Phoebe Dynevor and Pete Davidson first hit the dating radar in February, it seemed like a match made in Hollywood heaven. Even the “King of Staten Island” got his own paparazzi moment when the two swapped smiles in a quick, whirlwind affair. But as the calendar fills up, their romance is beginning to feel more like an episode of Two Days Without Your Loved One than a fairy‑tale happily ever after.
Busy Work Schedules Are the Real Heartbreaker
- Phoebe has been powered through one shoot after another for Bridgerton in the UK – no time for sanity between scenes.
- Pete returned to the U.S. to film Saturday Night Live and has just started a new project, Meet Cute, alongside Kaley Cuoco.
- Last time the pair were in each other’s arms was July in the UK – a long, cold gap since Pete flew back stateside.
- Travel restrictions during the pandemic left them unable to burst into each other’s lives via jet‑lines; “you can’t just jump on planes and jet around the world whenever you want,” the confidant told The Sun.
What the Insider Says
“It was wild while it lasted, and they both really cared for each other,” the source noted. “But the distance has taken a toll. The knot that once held them together is turning into a loose shoelace.”
In a more sarcastic slice of reality, the insider added that Phoebe headed to Croatia with her mates this week instead of catching Pete across the Atlantic. “If you could fly out to see your guy in a morning, you’d do it, but it’s been like that for now,” they said, hinting at a growing chill between the duo.
Friends Agree It Won’t Recover Without a Change
Pressrecruits, tour agents, and even the couple’s own friends (“They are a great couple”) now believe that unless something big happens, the romance wont revive. “It will probably stay close – like a friendship that keeps slipping back into old habits,” the insider mused.
Bottom Line
In the glitz and glam, Phoebe & Pete once seemed unstoppable. Yet the heavy hand of schedules and global travel curbs have cast a shadow over their love story. For now, fans will have to settle with the hope that maybe next season, these two will find a way to squeeze in another visit before their hearts go off the runway.
