Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham have been keeping their relationship low-key since sparking romance rumors in late 2022.

The pair initially started out as friends before fans began speculating about their relationship status after Bridgers seemingly ended her romance with Paul Mescal.

Bridgers and Mescal had been linked since 2020 and at one point were rumored to be engaged. After their breakup, however, the twosome remained largely tight-lipped about their personal life. The actor later made a rare comment about reading speculative reports about his split from Bridgers.

“I definitely feel the temptation to say the status of my whatever — that will always be there,” Mescal told Vanity Fair in February 2023 about how “really mad and upset” he felt regarding the rumors. “The temptation still exists to be like, ‘Shut the f–k up. This is my life. This is what’s going on. Or this is what’s not going on.’”

Three months later, Bridgers shared her feelings about fans discussing her love life.

“I’ve had people take more than I’m giving, and I’m giving a lot,” the singer told WSJ. Magazine in May 2023. “I’m pretty f–king transparent because I would value that in someone whose music I liked when I was a kid. Seeing any representation of any feeling and anything true was awesome to me. To be punished for that is so dark.”

Burnham, for his part, previously dated filmmaker Lorene Scafaria.
