Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the multi-talented dynamo adored for her role as the ever-quirky Fleabag, once gave a revealing interview to Vogue magazine. In this candid chat, she delved into topics like children, work, self-identity, and why women shy away from sharing romcoms with friends as they hit their thirties.
In 2019, for a Vogue cover story, Phoebe reflected on her journey with Fleabag, the critically acclaimed series that snagged multiple Emmy awards. Fleabag, which began in 2013, showcases Phoebe as a sharp-witted woman in her early thirties grappling with a traumatic past. The show also features Andrew Scott, who, despite joining in the second season, quickly became a fan-favorite as the “Hot Priest.”
During the interview, Phoebe shared her thoughts on the reluctance of women over 30 to share their romantic escapades. “Drama in your love life doesn’t feel like a failure when you’re young,” she mused, noting that early romance carries lower stakes. But as people age, they start to believe their partner will significantly shape their lives. “You want the best possible, so you’re not going to…,” she trailed off, hinting at the complex expectations that come with mature relationships.
Does Phoebe Waller-Bridge Want Kids?
Beyond her award-winning roles, Phoebe also opened up about the possibility of having children. While she remains uncertain, she describes herself as a “see-what-life-throws-at-you” kind of person, leaving the door open to the idea. “I think I would like to. I love hanging out with kids—you know, good ones,” she quipped. Phoebe also noted, “I’m much braver in my writing life,” explaining why she tends to keep her personal life private.
In true Phoebe fashion, the interview was a blend of wit, honesty, and introspection, much like the woman herself.
