Apparently, Phoebe Dynevor<\/strong> learned a lot from her relationship with Pete Davidson<\/strong>!<\/p>\n For those who don\u2019t recall, romance rumors began circulating in 2021 \u2013 months before he started dating Kim Kardashian<\/strong>. They reportedly met while the 28-year-old actress was in New York for work and then started hanging out together, even taking their romance across the pond near her hometown in England. By April, Pete and Phoebe were in a full-on relationship as the Saturday Night Live<\/em> alum basically confirmed the news when he confessed to being \u201cwith celebrity crush\u201d during a Zoom<\/strong> conversation with students at Marquette University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Things seemed to be going well for a while, with them making their first public appearance as a couple at Wimbledon in July of that year. But by the next month, the duo suddenly ended their relationship. A few years after they broke up, Phoebe is looking back at their romance for the first time and revealing the lessons she quickly had to learn at the time.<\/p>\n In an interview with Elle<\/em>, Phoebe shared that nothing could have prepared her for the intense media attention she received about her personal life while also dealing with her new fame from the popular Netflix<\/strong> series Bridgerton<\/em>. She recalled:<\/p>\n \u201cI was really na\u00efve. I don\u2019t think there was a period of my life as an actress when I thought about fame. My only goal was to work as an actress and not have to have any other jobs. And so I just didn\u2019t expect it to change my world in the way that it did.\u201d<\/p>\n That naivety continued with her relationship with Pete at the time:<\/p>\n \u201cIt just goes back to being na\u00efve \u2014 I didn’t think anyone would care.\u201d<\/p>\n And boy was she wrong about that! Considering Phoebe starred on a show dealing with Regency-era gossip from Lady Whistledown and her readers, you\u2019d think she’d realize the public would have been interested in her dating Pete IRL! But the Younger<\/em> alum didn\u2019t think things would change so much about her life and thus had to learn some \u201chard lessons\u201d then:<\/p>\n \u201cI was just being a young woman and dating and somehow that provokes a conversation. There were lots of hard lessons I had to learn through basically just having a personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n One of those things she realized? Although Phoebe would have liked to carry on with her life as she did before Bridgerton<\/em> blew up, she eventually found out she needed to keep some things out of the public eye. That included no more posting anything and everything on Instagram<\/strong> whenever she wanted:<\/p>\n \u201cYou realize, ‘Oh, I can’t live my life in the way that I used to. I have to keep my cards slightly closer to my chest.\u2019 There was a time, for example, when I’d post anything on my Instagram, and now I’m very, very careful about what I put out into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n And of course, with fame came the paparazzi. During those \u201cvery surreal\u201d six months of dating Pete, Phoebe dealt with a lot of paps following her around, even at her own home:<\/p>\n \u201cThis whole world that I was opened up to was really intimidating. Having men outside your house with cameras is super scary when you live on your own. There were men who would wait outside my house with cameras, and it was the same men a few times. I don\u2019t want to go on the record and say that I was being stalked, but when you have paparazzi who are waiting outside your house, it definitely feels like that.\u201d<\/p>\n It must have been hard for her to experience those first few months, especially as she told Elle<\/em> her home in \u201cthe middle of nowhere\u201d in north London had been her happy place. But the paparazzi taught her a valuable lesson \u2013 to not let whatever stories about her personal life get to her no matter how much she wants to react to them:<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are going to make up whatever story that they want to make from a few pictures, that’s fine. I had to learn to let things go and let it wash over my head instead of the normal reaction, which is to be like, \u2018But that’s not true, and that didn’t happen.\u2019 You have to let it go and focus on the work. I really am just here to act. I love my job so much, and it was weird for me that the attention was being taken away from my work.\u201d<\/p>\n Even though Pete and Phoebe didn’t work out, it seems she got a lot of the relationship in the end — well, she at least figured out how to handle the spotlight moving forward!<\/p>\n Reactions, Perezcious readers?
