Penn Badgley Squashes the Dispute

However, Badgley later confirmed he's a fan of Fahy and indicated his post was a joke. Fans assumed it was a marketing tactic to announce the stars' new rom-com film, You Deserve Each Other, where their characters go from lovers to enemies to lovers again.
Badgley also took to Instagram to share his unfiltered thoughts on one of his costar's recent projects, Sirens, on Netflix.
"I don't usually do this, but my wife and I, we just finished Sirens...want to give her her flowers," he started. "Okay, obviously, there's Julianne [Moore], there's Kevin [Bacon], there's Milly [Alcock], but this Meghann Fahy? This newcomer? This refreshing, gawky beauty? Love it. Love you."

"Penn! This is so kind. Thank you. Tell Domino I say hi. And that her taste is flawless," she wrote while referring to his wife Domino Kirke, before Badgley corrected her, "our* taste."
"Oops haha. Gawky tho," she questioned with a thinking-face emoji.
"I meant it as a compliment!" he clarified. "Long arms are so gorgeous but historically less featured."
"Chill on the body stuff," Fahy quipped.
"Whoa I’ve obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap," the actor clapped back.
"There you go again with that trapping thing. Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it," she critiqued.
