One Day is undoubtedly the film of the moment, with the David Nicholls remake landing on Netflix this week, becoming an instant cult-classic and catapulting its stars Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod to stardom.

On closer inspection however, Woodall has been on our screens before, with the 27-year-old actor starring in the second season of The White Lotus. In fact, it was on the HBO show that Woodall met his girlfriend - fellow actor Meghann Fahy, with the couple confirming the news last year with a public display of affection in New York City.

Meghann Fahy, 33, was one of the stars of The White Lotus season two, playing Daphne Sullivan, who was visiting the White Lotus hotel with her husband Cameron, and 'friends' Ethan and Harper Spiller. And Leo Woodall, 27, appears halfway through season two as Jack, a sinister Essex-born character posing as the nephew of Quentin (Tom Hollander).

While the couple's storylines didn't technically overlap, the actors' did, with the whole cast filming together in Taormina for three months. 

There were rumours of a White Lotus romance, with Meghann Fahy previously asked by Entertainment Tonight if she knew anything about it, to which she replied: “I don’t know anything. Never heard of it. Never seen it. What is that show?”

Fahy has also opened up to Cosmopolitan in the past about her approach to romance, saying that "love is always worth it, no matter what the risk".

“My experience in the world is that you never really know who you’re gonna meet, when you’re gonna meet them, and how they’re gonna make you feel,” Fahy explained to Cosmopolitan in the 2017 interview. "So personally, to put a limit on oneself in that way isn’t something that would work for me. It’s complicated and tricky and in some circumstances can be really risky, but if you find somebody that you think is really special and worth exploring, love is always worth it, no matter what the risk.”

Well this is lovely.
