Phoebe Waller-Bridge enjoys dinner alongside partner Martin McDonagh
Phoebe Waller-Bridge was accompanied by her partner Martin McDonagh and friend Andrew Scott as they had dinner with Taylor Swift in London on Tuesday.
Taylor has found herself a new London squad, enjoying a night on the town in Notting Hill as she takes a few nights off the Eras tour.
The singer, 34, who is back on stage in Liverpool on Thursday night, let her hair down at Argentinean restaurant Casa Cruz with Phoebe and other pals including Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, Cara Delevingne and Lena Dunham.
Phoebe, 38, arrived to the dinner alongside fashion designer Stella but left with playwright Martin, 54, and her former Fleabag co-star Andrew, 47.
The actress wrapped up for the evening in a tan trench coat which she paired with a black zip jumper and matching skinny jeans.
The Killing Eve writer also sported a pair of black flats and completed her look with a matching handbag.
Martin opted for a black shirt and matching blazer and paired it with dark blue jeans.
Phoebe, who has been dating Oscar winning Martin since 2017, sparked rumours that they are set to wed by wearing an enormous diamond ring on her engagement finger at her brother’s wedding in September 2023.
The pair are considered one of the film world’s most prolific power couples who regularly support each other on the red carpet.
The actress was on hand to celebrate with her partner at last year’s Oscars, where his film The Banshees of Inisherin was nominated for nine awards.
‘It’s really useful being with someone who I think is a genius, it just ups your game,’ she previously said of her relationship.
The Indiana Jones star was previously married to Irish filmmaker Conor Woodman, but they split in 2017 after three years of marriage.
Taylor has long been a fan of Phoebe’s and wrote a letter in support of her when the actress was included in Time’s 100 list of the most influential people.
In an essay to accompany her ranking on the list, Taylor wrote about the ‘iconic’ moment at the 2019 Emmy Awards when Phoebe was pictured reclining in a white gown as she smoked a cigarette while surrounded by Emmys.
Taylor wrote: ‘It depicts Phoebe, mid-puff-of-smoke, blissfully relaxing on a sun lounger in a glittery Monique Lhuillier gown, surrounded by Emmys. It was, to paraphrase pretty much everyone who saw it, iconic.’
Praising her writing on spy series Killing Eve, she added: ‘Sometimes all the puzzle pieces fall into place at the perfect time.
‘A combination of razor-sharp instincts, killer wit and genuine care for the people she works with proved to be a winning hand.’
Phoebe and Taylor also appeared on an episode of Saturday Night Live together in 2019 which Phoebe hosted and Taylor was the musical guest.
