Earlier this week, Phoebe Gates<\/a> debuted her new boyfriend, Chaz Flynn, on Instagram<\/a> with a photo of them at a fancy-looking event. Until earlier this year<\/a>, Gates was romantically involved with Arthur Donald, the grandson of Paul McCartney, but apparently since breaking up with him, she\u2019s reunited with an old fling \u2014 according to People<\/a>, Gates and Flynn were together back when they attended high school in Seattle circa 2021.<\/p>\n The caption was just a single red-heart emoji, which obviously means whatever is going on between them is romantic, and Gates\u2019s comment section appears to confirm that. It\u2019s filled with her friends\u2019 approval, including a comment from Rupert Murdoch\u2019s daughter. One comment in particular that was liked by Gates says, \u201cAwww first love comes back again?\u201d It sure does.<\/p>\n Gates spoke about her new(ish) relationship back in September during an episode of her podcast, The Burnouts<\/a>, which she hosts with her Phia co-founder Sophia Kianni. \u201cI\u2019m dating a guy who literally doesn\u2019t have Instagram,\u201d Gates said, presumably referring to Flynn. \u201cLike, he deletes it, and it\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s the best thing ever. And this is completely new for me. I\u2019ve never been with someone like this.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Gates tagged her new man on Instagram, it looks like his profile is set to private and has only around 4,500 followers. To influencers, this does in fact mean he \u201cliterally doesn\u2019t have Instagram.\u201d Congratulations to Gates on finding herself an offline boyfriend (again).<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
