During its run of two and a half seasons thus far, Bridgerton has emerged as one of Netflix’s most stellar offerings. Based on a book series written by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton season 3 part 2 is set to release on June 13.

With 20 episodes thus far, it has led to a range of cast members reaching new heights of superstardom. Most notably, Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan are among them. Their fame has led to an increased interest in the actors’ relationship statuses from the fans.

Here, we look at the actors featured in Bridgerton who are currently known to be in a relationship.


Bridgerton actors who have real-life partners

#1 Luke Newton

The arguable protagonist of the series, who forms one half of the headlining couple of the show, Colin Bridgerton, has been expertly portrayed by Luke Newton, who is known to be in a relationship with noted model and dancer Antonia Roumelioti.

The stunning Romelioti first met Luke Newton years ago, but the two started dating only at the beginning of this year. Their relationship seems to be progressing strongly, as they were on a joint holiday and Antonia is known to have met the star’s family as well.


#2 Jonathan Bailey

Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, has also been involved in his fair share of drama with respect to the series narrative thus far. However, off the screen, he stays away from attention and prefers to keep his private life just that - private. The actor revealed in an interview earlier that he is currently seeing someone after previously going through a breakup back in 2022.


#3 Simone Ashley

Simone Ashley’s character, Kate Sharma, was not a part of the books. It was one of the two characters, along with Kate’s sister, which was added to the series.

Regardless, Kate Sharma is herself known to be dating a former lawyer named Constantin "Tino" Klein. The couple went official with their relationship in December 2022 and are regularly spotted at a range of public events.


#4 Luke Thompson and Harriet Cains

As most Bridgerton fans will already know, the two actors who play Benedict Bridgerton and Philipa Featherington are also in a real-life relationship. The couple made their relationship public earlier this year at a Vanity Fair Rising Stars party. Hence, the two have not only found success on the show together, but they are also heavily invested in each other’s real lives.


#5 Claudia Jessie

Claudia Jessie plays Colin’s younger sister, Eloise Bridgerton, who had a huge falling out with Penelope, shown in both the series and the books as Eloise’s oldest friend. Jessie also appears to have found her real-life partner due to the show, as she is currently dating the casting director Cole Edwards. In a heartwarming interview, the actress stated that she was able to find both a job and a partner when she auditioned for the Netflix show.


#6 Jessica Madsen

Jessica Madsen plays the role of Cressida Cowper in Bridgerton. Her character has developed a close bond with Penelope in recent episodes, and Madsen appears to have found a friend for her real life in Benji Philipson as well.

While she has been spotted with Philipson multiple times in public, the couple tends to keep details about their life away from the public eye.


#7 Golda Rosheuvel

Another actress who is known to be in a long-term relationship is Golda Rusheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte in the series. The British veteran is known to be in a relationship with popular playwright Shireen Mula, who she met decades ago at a mutual friend’s party.


#8 Bessie Carter and Sam Phillips

Another lesser-known relationship that has blossomed on the show's sets is that between Bessie Carter and Sam Philips. While the former plays Prudence Featherington, the latter takes on the mantle of Lord Debling. The obvious irony here is that Lord Debling was almost married to Carter’s on-screen sister, Penelope.


#9 Regé-Jean Page

Finally, we have Rege-Jean Page. The British-Zimbabwean star, who plays the role of Simon Basset in Bridgerton, has been in a relationship with fellow actress Emily Brown since 2019. The two have been seen at a plethora of public events, which also includes the recent 2024 BAFTA Gala.


That might round off our list of actors who are currently taken. However, several other stars are either married or have fiances. The likes of Adjoa Andoh and Polly Walker are married, while Phoebe Dynevor is known to be engaged to Cameron Fuller, who is the son of popular Hollywood biggie Brad Fuller.

The first three seasons can be watched on Netflix, with season 3 part 2 set to drop in the coming days.
