Just as they were becoming Hollywood’s hottest couple, Pete Davidson has reportedly called it quits with his Bridgerton star girlfriend.

They were fast becoming this year’s hottest celebrity couple, but the romance between Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor and US comedian Pete Davidson has gone ice cold.

Friends close to the couple, who started dating in February, have revealed the relationship has started to fizzle out as their busy work schedules started making it difficult for them to see each other.

A source told The Sun: “Pete and Phoebe’s romance was a real whirlwind and from the start they were both totally committed. But as time has passed, it’s become increasingly obvious it is going to be difficult to make this work.

“Phoebe has had back-to-back filming dates with Bridgerton in the UK. Meanwhile, Pete has been back in the US filming Saturday Night Live. Alongside that he has just started working on a new film, Meet Cute, with Kaley Cuoco.

“Phoebe and Pete were last together in the UK in July but since he flew back to the States, he’s not seen her. Obviously all the travel restrictions because of the pandemic have not helped.”

The couple were spotted together at Wimbledon in early July, where they were seen kissing and cuddling in the crowd.

“People can’t just jump on planes and jet around the world when they want to,” the source added. “It has made everything more difficult. It was pretty telling when Phoebe headed to Croatia with her mates this week rather than going to see Pete in America.

“It was wild while it lasted and they both really care for each other. But the distance has put a strain on them.

“Their mates think they make a great couple but the distance has made it completely unworkable. They had fun and will remain close but unless something drastic changes their relationship won’t recover.”
