American comic Pete Davidson has been caught breaking Britain’s Covid quarantine laws while visiting his Bridgerton star girlfriend, Phoebe Dynevor. 

The couple were pictured together for the first time on Sunday, with 26-year-old Phoebe showing her boyfriend, 27, around Stoke-on-Trent, where she is currently shooting new film The Colour Room.

However, MailOnline can reveal that Pete, 27, only flew into London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday evening, which means he should have been isolating until Tuesday at the earliest.

Passengers arriving in Britain from the US are required to quarantine at home for 10 days, though they can be released after five clear days, not counting the day they arrived, provided they test negative for Covid.

In order to comply with rules, Davidson’s quarantine would have begun on Friday and he would take a test no earlier than Tuesday – having to remain in quarantine until he received a negative result.

A photographer who spotted him arriving at Heathrow from a Virgin flight on Thursday said the comic went out of his way to try and avoid being photographed as he walked through the Arrivals hall.

The comedian flew back to New York on Monday.  

MailOnline has contacted Davidson’s representatives for comment. 

It’s the third time the couple are said to have met up in recent months. 

In February, former Waterloo Road star Dyvenor, daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, flew to New York City where he is based.

Although she didn’t share any pictures with Davidson, the Netflix star shared photos of Brooklyn on Instagram, as she penned: ‘Grateful I got to be here for a hot sec ❤️.’

Rumours of their romance took off last month when Davidson was spotted out in Davidson’s leafy hometown of Altrincham, Cheshire. 

Meanwhile, an insider told People magazine: ‘Pete is telling friends he’s serious about [Phoebe]’, as they continued to visit each other on both sides of the Atlantic, while another source added the pair are ‘really into each other.’

Davidson’s trip to the UK appears to coincide with some of his free time from Saturday Night Live, as the show is on a break without a live episode until May 8. 

The couple added to relationship speculation last week when they wore identical necklaces featuring their initials – which are the same – during interviews.

‘Pete is wearing it as a romantic gesture to Phoebe,’ a source told The Sun after viewers noticed their matching jewellery.

‘He wanted to show just how much she means to him and just how serious he is about them,’ the source continued.

‘She’s in London and he’s in America. So they wanted to feel like they’re together when they’re not. Any time they’re feeling a bit lonely and missing each other they look down at the PD!’

Earlier this month, Davidson seemed to confirm the relationship during a virtual conversation with Marquette University students.

When a student asked him to share his ‘celebrity crush’ during the Q&A session, he told them he wasn’t available anymore.

‘I’m with my celebrity crush,’ he said, while grinning – though without mentioning Phoebe – months after the romance rumours first began.

Dyvenor is best known for her leading role as Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix’s raunchy period drama series, Bridgerton, where she starred alongside Rege-Jean Page, with whom she was rumoured to have been dating. 

She is currently working on Sky Original drama The Colour Room alongside Matthew Goode. 

The film tells the true story of Clarice Cliff, a pioneering ceramic artist who became a rising star in the pottery industry in Stoke-On-Trent in the 1920s. 

Meanwhile, Davidson is best known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and last year co-wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical drama film The King of Staten Island.   

Before he became the youngest regular on SNL, he dated Carly Aquilino between 2014 and 2015 when they starred together on MTV’s Guy Code and Girl Code. 

Although the romance didn’t work out, the pair stayed friends and he later described her as ‘one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever met’ and said they still ‘hang out all the time’ following the split.

Davidson next dated Cazzie David, daughter of comedian Larry David, for two years and they made several public appearances together.  

In the same month he split from Cazzie, he began dating singer Ariana in 2018. The relationship progressed quickly and the couple were engaged after only a matter of weeks. 

They broke up later the same year, with Davidson admitting he ‘knew it was over’ after Ariana was left grieving the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. Ariana later mentioned Pete in her hit single Thank U, Next.

He then moved on with actress Kate Beckinsale, who is twenty years his senior. They were first linked with in January 2019 and dated until at least April. 

Davidson admitted the age difference ‘never bothered’ the couple. A source told In Touch that Pete was ‘an exciting breath of fresh air’ for Kate.

Next to join his list of girlfriends was actress Margaret Qually. A source told Us: ‘They’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months and Margaret is really excited about him.’ 

It didn’t last long though, with the pair reportedly dating for just two months between August and October 2019.

Davidson quickly moved on from Margaret to date model Kaia Gerber, who is the daughter of Cindy Crawford. 

He and Kaia were seen holding hands a few times but the whirlwind romance came to an end after just three months in January 2020.
