It is ok to point out that they didn’t meet on dating apps like Tinder or Bumble, they were using an app called Raya, an exclusive app that users have to apply to get on, which is also an acceptable option for celebs. Talking to GQ Hype, Stranger Things actor David Harbour said:

“I was in London alone, doing Black Widow, on this app, going on dates and stuff. And yeah, I started texting with her, she was in Italy at the time — we got together, went on a date at The Wolseley, and it was, you know, she’s f***ing unbelievable.”

“She claims to have fallen in love at first sight with me — I mean, who wouldn’t? I remember the exact moment. It was our third date. I was just in this phase, where I was like, I’m just going to be brutally honest about everything, because why lie? And I told her something about my life, about my beliefs.”

“It would take a really extraordinary person to be accepting of the things that I said. And I remember thinking: Wow, that’s somebody I want to be around.”
