Why Fleabag is in the pink! Phoebe Waller-Bridge shows off sparkling ring on her engagement finger as she attends brother’s wedding – after banking £16million last year
She’s been Britain’s golden girl ever since her hit comedy Fleabag made her a global superstar.
But unlike her chaotic alter ego, things certainly seem to be heading in the right direction for Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whose company made £16million last year.
The actress and writer, 38, could also be about to get the happy ending Fleabag was alluding to, as she has fueled speculation that she is engaged to filmmaker and playwright Martin McDonagh.
Waller-Bridge, who has been dating Oscar-winning McDonagh, 53, since 2017, sparked rumors they are getting married by wearing a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger to her brother’s wedding this weekend.
And the star certainly didn’t seem to be keeping a low profile in a bright pink £1,945 Etro suit, matching £400 waistcoat and black tie.

She was joined by her filmmaker other half as her brother Jasper Waller-Bridge married Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery at St Nicholas’ Church in Chiswick, west London.
Waller-Bridge and McDonagh are considered one of the most prolific power couples in the world, regularly supporting each other on the red carpet.
The actress was on hand to celebrate this year’s Oscars with her partner, where his film The Banshees of Inisherin was nominated for nine awards.
“It’s very useful to be with someone who I think is a genius, it improves your game,” she previously said of her relationship.
Waller-Bridge, who recently appeared on the big screen opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, has had a successful year, both in her finances and her love life.
According to Companies House, her company PMWB Limited made almost £16 million in the financial year ending November last year.
She won Golden Globes, Emmys and a BAFTA for the hit Fleabag and was nominated for her work writing and producing Killing Eve.

Happy couple: Waller-Bridge, 38, and Martin McDonagh, 53, have been dating since 2017
She has since co-written the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, and appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story. She signed a three-year, £60 million deal with Amazon in 2019.
Waller-Bridge was previously married to Irish filmmaker Conor Woodman, but they split in 2017 after three years of marriage.
A spokesperson for Waller-Bridge did not respond when asked whether the star was engaged earlier this month.
But it would certainly be a signal that she has moved on after her divorce from her first husband, Irish author and documentary maker Woodman, 49, was finalized last year.
Until recently, she remained tight-lipped about her latest relationship with McDonagh, who at 53 is fifteen years her senior.
They were first seen together at a screening of McDonagh’s Oscar-winning film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2017.

When asked if they read each other’s work, Waller-Bridge, who helped polish the script for the latest Bond film, No Time To Die, said: ‘We don’t really share anything beforehand. . . I just really like him.
“So if you show someone something, and you like them, it can become a blur.”
Admiring his work long before she met him, she admitted that he has had a huge influence on her.
“It’s very helpful to be with someone who I think is a genius, it just improves your game,” she said.
‘I always wanted Martin McDonagh to regard my work as good, whether I was with him or not. I’ll find out now, one way or another.
