While appearing on the talk show with James, a fan asked if there was any truth in the rumors that she was dating Woodall. Hearing this the actress chuckled and replied, "Oh, I don't kiss and tell!"
Cohen then interjected with, "It would be delicious. It would be delicious. We would all love it," prompting Fahy to respond by saying, "You would? For you, I'll say, sure." However, the actress immediately responded with, "I was kidding! Just because you wanted me to say it, so I said it." Cohen then bluntly suggested that they were "friends with benefits," to which Fahy replied, "We're friends."
The dating rumours started circulating after a series of suggestive Instagram interactions between Fahy and Woodall. In a September 2022 post, Woodall posted a series of pictures with the caption, "That's Amore." Fahy gushed in the comment section and wrote, “I love you! I love these! I love you!” to which he replied, “Love you right back,” with a heart emoji.
In November 2022, Fahy shared photos from an ELLE UK photo shoot, writing, "And thank you @elleuk I love the UK and I love all of the Elles!!!" Woodall commented on the post with, "UK loves you back."
Fahy bought matching T-shirts for for herself and Woodall at a pop-up shop marking the 20 year anniversary of the Eminem movie '8 Mile', as per a New Yorker article in November 2022. She told the outlet that her White Lotus co-star "can do all the freestyles from the film!"
