Meghann Fahy Made First Move on Leo Woodall, He Initially Passed

Meghann Fahy disclosed that her boyfriend, Leo Woodall, initially overlooked her romantic overtures. The pair first encountered each other in 2022 while filming the second season of the acclaimed HBO drama 'The White Lotus.' Fahy, who played Daphne, initiated contact by giving Woodall her number, but he did not act on it. He later expressed surprise at her interest, recounting that he hadn't realized she was pursuing him.

Following Fahy's direct approach, their relationship quickly evolved into a close friendship before they began dating in 2023. Woodall, who portrayed Jack in the series, elaborated on his desire for privacy in a February 2025 interview with ELLE. He believes public relationships are detrimental and that maintaining a "safe space" is crucial for their bond. The couple's commitment to privacy was evident at a recent film screening where they attended separately but showed affection later.

Fahy described her relationship with Woodall as the "greatest gift," valuing a partner who understands the unique demands of the entertainment industry. She expressed the importance of having a partner with whom she can share a mutual understanding, highlighting the significance of feeling seen and acknowledged.
