Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor has ‘grown close’ to Ariana Grande’s ex Pete Davidson – after he flew from New York to her hometown.
The actress, 25, who shot to international fame as Daphne Bridgerton in the hit Netflix series, and the US comedian, 27, are believed to have spent time together on both sides of the pond.
Phoebe visited New York, where the Saturday Night Live star lives, in February, while he was spotted by fans in Altrincham, Greater Manchester on Sunday.

A Facebook page called Altrincham HQ shared an image of Pete wearing sunglasses and a black face covering as he posed with two fans who spotted the American in the UK this weekend.
The profile claimed Pete is ‘staying over in Altrincham with friends’ and said it was ‘bizarre’ for him to be in the market town.
In February, Phoebe shared a selection of images to her Instagram profile believed to be taken in Brooklyn, New York, alongside the caption: ‘Grateful I got to be here for a hot sec’ with a love heart emoji.
Phoebe’s rep declined to comment to MailOnline when asked about the relationship.

Pete is the ex-fiancé of superstar Ariana Grande, 27, who he was engaged to for four months until October 2018 when they ended their relationship.
Ariana later referenced Pete in her song Thank U, Next with the lyric: ‘Even almost got married, and for Pete, I’m so thankful.’
Phoebe is the daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, 57, who plays Sally Webster, and she first appeared on TV aged 14 with roles in Snatch and later Waterloo Road.
But she rose to prominence in Bridgerton, shooting raunchy love scenes with onscreen husband Rege-Jean Page, 31.

The show has already been recommissioned for a second series, but Phoebe’s co-star Nicola Coughlan, 34, recently confirmed on Twitter the cast are yet to start filming.
The first became Netflix’s most-watched original series ever after debuting in December with 82million households watching in its first 28 days.
In January, Phoebe was pictured alongside her mum Sally at a local farmers’ market in Manchester after she moved back home amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Pete had a relationship with British actress Kate Beckinsale, 47, in 2019, and laughed off criticism over their 20-year age gap.

He said: ‘It doesn’t really bother us. But then again, I’m new to this.
‘So if you have questions about a relationship with a big age difference, just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Statham, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Disick, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, whoever the president of France is, Mel Gibson, Jagger…’
Pete also romanced Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley, 26, daughter of Four Weddings and a Funeral’s Andie MacDowell, and last year he dated Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, 19.
Phoebe’s last relationship is thought to have been with Skins actor Sean Teale, 28, in 2017.
