For anybody still wiping their tears from the ending of Netflix’s One Day, prepare to shed even more with the news that the show’s protagonist Leo Woodall and his girlfriend Meghann Fahy are continuing the hard-launch of their relationship on Instagram.
The pair, who met in 2022 while filming the sophomoric season of The White Lotus in Sicily, have reportedly been dating since 2023 but have been notoriously private - until now. Cue fans of the pair losing their minds with excitement.
Exhibit A of the continuation of the hard-launch came after Woodall took to Instagram to post a string of BTS pictures from the set of One Day on March 5. Commenting on the post, Fahy wrote, 'I’ll say it again Leo for president,' to which the actor replied, 'Oh go on then.'
The pair's flirtatious exchange comes after Fahy posted a picture of the pair on February 20 for the first time on her own Instagram account as the internet collectively lusted over the actor after his turn in One Day. One user was quick to comment on Fahy's post, which showed the couple walking from behind cuddled up to each other, saying, 'I’m so dead she rlly said time to lock it down' while another commented that 'she knew with the show blowing up, she needed to claim her mans.'
'HARD LAUNCH FINALLY!!!!' another user commented, while another wrote: 'Hard launch! So happy for you and pizza, and that your good friend Leo was there to witness.' Even Woodall himself couldn't help but join in on the virtual banter, commenting 'Who is he?!' on the post.

Despite keeping their relationship largely under-wraps, the couple was spotted kissing in New York City in November 2023, which seemingly confirmed their relationship.
Rumours of a relationship were initially sparked in September 2022 when Woodall posted a series of images from the set of The White Lotus, which he captioned 'That's amore.' Alongside Fahy, their other co-stars, including Haley Lu Richardson and Adam DiMarco, also featured in the images.
Fahy commented on Woodall's post and said, 'I love you! I love these! I love you!' along with a kiss and red heart emojis, to which the actor responded: 'Love you right back.'
It was then The Bold Type actresses' turn to post her own string of pictures from the set of the series' second season, which she did in December 2022.
Despite rumours beginning to swirl about their potential relationship, in January 2023 during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Fahy remained coy. 'I don’t kiss and tell,' she quipped. 'Come on, guys.'
When Cohen pressed further if the pair were 'friends with benefits', Fahy affirmed: 'We’re friends.'
