‘White Lotus’ alum Meghann Fahy offers rare insight into relationship with Leo Woodall

Meghann Fahy is still keeping her relationship tightly under wraps.

The actress made a rare comment about her private romance with Leo Woodall, gushing about how much he understands her.

“I think that it’s just really great to be deeply understood,” the “White Lotus,” 34, said on Thursday’s episode of “CBS Mornings” when asked why she thinks their relationship works.

“There’s so many weird things about this industry and what we do, so I think there’s just something really lovely about being with somebody who really gets that.”

Fahy met Woodall, 28, in Italy while filming the second season of “The White Lotus.”

While romance rumors circulated even before the season’s October 2022 debut, the pair’s relationship wasn’t officially confirmed until they were spotted sharing a kiss in New York City a year later.

The two actors became Instagram-official in February 2024 when Fahy posted a cute snap of them walking hand-in-hand.

In a recent interview with Elle, Woodall revealed why they keep their romance private.

“We’re very good at keeping it as private as we can,” Woodall told the outlet. “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 British actor continued.

While the couple are staying busy with new projects — such as Fahy’s upcoming thriller, “Drop,” and Woodall’s show, “Prime Target” — the “Bold Type” alum expressed interest in returning to the hit HBO show.

“I would totally go back, of course,” she gushed on Thursday. “Especially if it’s in Italy again.”

Seasons 1-3 of “The White Lotus” are all available to stream on HBO.
