The celebrity couple were first linked in 2020, after having flirted online when Bridgers watched Mescal in Normal People. She tweeted: “Finished Normal People and now I’m sad and horny oh wait.” Mescal responded: “I’m officially dead.” To which Bridgers replied: “nooo don’t die your [sic] so talented aha.”
In December last year, Bridgers dropped a music video for her track “Saviour Complex”, directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starring Mescal.
The song “Saviour Complex” appeared on Bridgers’ album, Punisher.
The album was awarded four stars by The Independent’s critic, Alexandra Pollard, who wrote that the “fantastic, fatalistic” record “has the effect of a particularly pummelling massage”.
Bridgers and Mescal appeared to confirm their relationship with a red carpet appearance last month.
