Paul Mescal is a taken man.

We hate to break it to you on a Monday morning, but the Normal People actor appears to have confirmed his romance with American singer Phoebe Bridgers as the two stepped out together at a red carpet event this weekend.

The pair were snapped cosying up to one another at the 2021 LACMA Art + Film Gala which took place stateside Saturday night at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 

Bridgers looked radiant in a red plaid skirt and ivory lace blouse while Mescal swapped his GAA shorts for a black tuxedo for the star-studded event which was hosted by Gucci.

Fans have been speculating that the 25-year-old Kildare actor and 27-year-old singer have been a couple for some time with a Kinsale café tweeting as far back as last summer that the pair had eaten together in their establishment.

The pair were also snapped celebrating Mescal's BAFTA win in June while for Halloween, the couples appeared to dress up as Hollywood couple Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.

Mescal has long been a fan of Bridgers’ music and has interviewed her in the past and starred in the music video for her single Savior Complex.

Meanwhile, Bridgers admitted to NME magazine in June 2020 that she got "a little pitter-patter in my heart" when Mescal first followed her on Instagram. Too cute.
