Meghann Fahy has shared how boyfriend Leo Woodall's initially rebuffed her advances behind-the-scenes of The White Lotus.

The actress, 35, has been dating Leo since 2023 after they first met while filming the second season of the hit HBO drama the previous year.

Meghann played Daphne, the wife of Theo James’s character, Cameron, while Leo played a cheeky chap from Essex named Jack. 

While Leo, 29, tends to keep his personal life extremely private, Meghann has now shared she initially made the first move.

She explained how she had given Leo her number when they met, though admitted how he rebuffed her at first.  

Meghann revealed: 'Leo's character doesn't come in until episode three.

'When he got there, I gave him my number because I was, like, I know how it is to show up late to something. But he never did anything with it.'

She added: 'Months later, he was like, "I didn't know that you were interested in me". And I was like, "I gave you my number! How did you not know that?"'

After her more direct approach, Meghann says they 'very quickly became really, really good buddies... and that was how it happened'.

Meanwhile, Leo spoke about his relationship with Meghann during an interview with ELLE magazine in February 2025. 

Explaining why he's reluctant to share details of the relationship publicly, Leo said: ‘We’re very good at keeping it as private as we can.

‘To me, that’s the only way. You see public relationships all the time slapped all over social media and I can’t imagine that’s any fun.

'[Your relationship] should be a safe space, so I think letting people into it is completely counter-productive.’

The couple's attempts at privacy were clear to see at last year's Bridget Jones screening as they walked the red carpet alone.

Despite this, they put on a loved up display at the movie's after party. 

Meghann previously described their relationship as the 'greatest gift' in a sweet tribute to the actor.  

She said: 'I don't think I could ever date someone who wasn't in the industry in some capacity, whether it be a director or a writer. 

'The experiences that you're having are so insane and specific. To have a partner who you can make eye contact with across the room and feel seen and have that person be like, "I know," to me is the greatest gift.'
