Phoebe Dynevoris opening up about the lessons she learned from dating a Hollywood star.
In a new cover interview forEllepublished Tuesday, theBridgertonactress, 28, reflected on her six-month relationship withPete Davidsonand the “very surreal” attention that their romance garnered.
“It just goes back to being naïve — I didn’t think anyone would care,” she admitted. “I 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.”
The pair first began dating in February 2021, though they weren’t publicly linked until March 2021 when the comedian, 29, was spotted in Manchester, England, where Dynevor is from. They thendated until August of that year.
Their split came just over a month after they made theirfirst public appearance together as a coupleat Wimbledon.

Dynevor went on to share withEllethat the fascination with the duo’s relationship ended up altering how she lives her day-to-day life.
“You 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,’” she admitted. “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.”
But, she says, the focus on her love life also taught her to let go of things easier. “People are going to make up whatever story that they want to make from a few pictures, that’s fine,” she toldElle. “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, ‘But that’s not true, and that didn’t happen.'”
“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,” she added.
Dynevor, who starred as Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix hit, is now dating actorCameron Fuller. They were first spotted together in March, but they didn’t spark romance rumors until April when they were photographedstrolling hand-in-handduring an outing in London.
