Paul Mescal sparks rumours he’s dating US singer – after both stars are spotted together in Cork

The pair recently struck up a friendship online

Paul Mescal has sparked rumours he’s dating US singer Phoebe Bridgers – after both stars were spotted together in Cork.

According to reports, the Normal People star was seen having brunch with Phoebe at the Lemon Leaf Café in Kinsale this week.

The café confirmed the news in a post shared on Instagram, and the owner Tracey Keoghan later told CorkBeo that they were “absolutely delightful” customers.

“He was lovely altogether, very relaxed, very friendly,” she said.

“There were a lot of disappointed girls around here when they heard he had been in and they didn’t see him!”

“Phoebe was lovely, she’s a musician, very talented, I hear,” she added.

During his trip to Kinsale it looks like Paul stayed at the Actons Hotel, as he posed for a photo with the hotel’s front office manager Fidelma McCarthy – which was later shared on Instagram.

It’s not known if Phoebe was staying at the hotel with him.

Phoebe, 25, attracted Paul’s attention back in May, after she called him “cute” during an interview with NME.

The LA-based musician said she had just started watching Normal People, and started following “that cute boy” Paul Mescal on Instagram.

Phoebe said Paul quickly followed her back, and said: “I got a little pitter-patter in my heart when I saw.”

Just one week later, both stars did a 25 minute Instagram Live together, as Phoebe interviewed Paul for a fashion magazine.

During the latest episode of #GossChats, social media star and TV presenter James Patrice addresses the recent cancellation of Dancing With The Stars, being single during lockdown and creating viral hits with his family.

Goss Chats is sponsored by top aesthetic clinic Haus of JeJuve.
