Meghann Fahy and Leo Woodall Were Seen Being ‘Very Affectionate’ Inside the Emmys
The White Lotus co-stars-turned-off-screen couple Meghann Fahy and Leo Woodall chose not to walk the red carpet together at tonight’s delayed 2023 Emmys ceremony. Fahy wore a stunning rose-adorned custom Armani Privé column gown with Bulgari jewelry. Woodall was in a classic black suit.
During the show, they did have a PDA moment while sitting next to each other in the front row. An eyewitness told E!, “Meghann and Leo were super cozy. She rested her head on his shoulder and he kissed her head. They kept whispering in each other’s ears and laughing. They were being very affectionate.”
Fahy is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, competing against co-stars Aubrey Plaza, Simona Tabasco, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Jennifer Coolidge in addition to The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki, Better Call Saul’s Rhea Seehorn, and Succession’s J. Smith-Cameron.
Additionally, The White Lotus is up for Best Drama Series this evening.
Fahy initially played coy about the Woodall romance rumors before the couple later confirmed their relationship with a kiss in November.
In August, Fahy spoke to W about her role as Daphne in the show. When asked how she’d describe her, Fahy said, “Aubrey Plaza actually helped me coin the term ‘Zen Mommy,’ which is what we used to describe Daphne. That’s her to a T. She’s one of these women you see on Instagram who always has a baby on her hip and is wearing this effortlessly flowy, beautiful dress that probably cost her $4,000. Everything seems simple, and that was Daphne to me. She’s my Zen Mommy.”
She also recalled her most starstruck encounter: “Meeting Taylor Swift was…I couldn’t have been more starstruck. I almost threw up before meeting her. I saw her from across the room, and I just started crying involuntarily. I was so embarrassed. I was like, I cannot say hello to her with tears in my eyes. I have to pretend to be seminormal, but I don’t think I fooled her. She put her arm around me, and she was like, you’re fine. She watched [The White Lotus], which was insane. That was a true highlight for me.”
