Phoebe Bridgers received assistance from her alleged boyfriend, Bo Burnham, following the performance of her band Boygenius on Saturday Night Live.
The trio, comprised of Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus, made their debut as musical guests on the NBC comedy series during the episode hosted by Timothée Chalamet on Saturday, November 11. They even participated in a sketch alongside Chalamet, 27, that highlighted the fame of Troye Sivan, with all members dressing up as the 28-year-old Australian singer.
Following the conclusion of the episode, Bridgers, 29, accompanied by Burnham, 33, attended an afterparty for SNL. The couple was seen holding hands while walking through midtown Manhattan, both dressed in coordinating black attire. Bridgers looked stunning in a sheer dress with a matching choker, while the comedian opted for a blazer and trousers.
Romance rumors between Bridgers and Burnham first emerged in December 2022, shortly after her split from Paul Mescal. During that time, the pair were spotted together at various locations in Los Angeles and attended a comedy show in New York City. Although they kept their relationship low-key, the couple was inadvertently captured cuddling in the background of Keith Urban's TikTok video, while dancing together in the VIP section at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Philadelphia in May.
Later that month, Bridgers addressed the speculation surrounding her love life. In May, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal, she expressed, "I have experienced individuals taking more than what I am willing to offer, and I am already giving a substantial amount. I pride myself on being exceedingly open and honest, as I greatly appreciate that in artists who I admired during my childhood. Witnessing any form of genuine emotion or truth being portrayed through music was truly inspiring to me. To be subjected to punishment for such vulnerability is incredibly disheartening."

Urban, on the other hand, expressed his regrets in June for making Bridgers and Burnham's relationship public. "Yeah, I came to know about it," he expressed to Entertainment Tonight. "Phoebe, I apologize deeply."
"It was an uncomfortable situation," Urban, who is 56 years old, further explained. "I feel remorseful. I was just enjoying the concert! Unexpected things can always occur."
In August, Bridgers decided to take control of the situation by apparently confirming her romantic relationship with Burnham. She posted a photo on her Instagram Story, showing her arm around a man whom fans believed to be the comedian. The photo captured the duo sitting together on a piano bench, but Bridgers didn't tag Burnham.
Meanwhile, as Bridgers moved forward in her personal life, the 27-year-old Mescal openly expressed his frustration and sadness in a February interview with Vanity Fair. He stated that he was greatly bothered by the fact that his breakup with Bridgers had become a topic of discussion on Twitter.
Mescal admitted that he is tempted to discuss the status of his relationship, but he believes it would be unwise to provide clarification regarding his situation with Bridgers.
He added, "I still feel the urge to say, 'Stop talking. This is my personal life. I will share what's happening or not happening.'"
