Does he have a girlfriend? Are Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy dating?
Leo Woodall is reportedly dating his White Lotus co-star Meghann Fahy. After months of fan speculation, the pair appeared to confirm their relationship in November 2023 in rainy NYC when they shared a smooch underneath an umbrella.
That same month, an insider told the Daily Mail: “They’ve really started to fall in love and are very happy to let anyone know how they feel around each other. They are definitely in the ‘shout it out on the rooftops’ phase of their relationship and love seeing what the next day brings, they really make each other smile.”
In January 2023, Meghann responded to a fan question about the relationship with: “Oh, I don’t kiss and tell! Come on, guys!”
While the pair did not share scenes together on The White Lotus season two, it is likely they met while filming.
How tall is he?
According to his CV, Leo is 6 foot 1 inch tall.
In comparison, his One Day co-star Ambika Mod is reportedly 5 foot 5 inches. That makes her the perfect height for that kissing on tiptoes shot we’ve seen all over the One Day promos!

Does Leo Woodall have tattoos?
While Leo’s character in The White Lotus, Jack, was covered in tattoos, Leo is not.
Leo told Men’s Health that he and The White Lotus creator Mike White came up with Jack’s tattoos together over a Zoom call.
He said: “Mike had some ideas of what he wanted. Like, he knew he wanted something that creeped onto the neck. So I found ‘cowabunga’, which was his neck tattoo, and that was Mike’s favourite one. A mate of mine suggested ‘live fast die young’, which was on my rib. My favourite, which I don’t know if people will spot, is ‘Wendy’ on my bum.”
Leo continued: “The only one that [Jack] probably would have put some thought into is the tattoo of hammers on his arm, because that’s [the logo for] his football team [West Ham United Football Club].”
It’s not clear if Leo has any of his own personal tattoos, but if he does, he hasn’t revealed what or where!
