Watch: Bridgerton Season 2 Cast REVEAL Their DREAM DMs

In the absence of our own Lady Whistledown, we've taken it upon ourselves to do some digging into the romantic lives of Bridgerton stars.

To get all the details on the pretty people of the Ton, we've scoured social media and done a thorough search of their many interviews in which they shared details about their life behind the scenes. It turns out there's no need to hide behind flower arrangements or come up with a fake identity to learn more about your favorite stars—we've done it for you!

For season one stars Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page, it was quite easy to learn their dating history. The actors, who played Daphne and Simon, have been photographed with significant others at public events. (Remember when Phoebe cozied up to Pete Davidson at a Wimbledon match last year?)

Season two leads Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey have yet to confirm or deny the existence of a significant other, making them the true diamonds of the season in our book.

The Bridgerton Books, Ranked By Onscreen Potential

To find out everything there is to know about the stars' relationships—or lack thereof, keep scrolling!

Nicola Coughlan

While Nicola's Penelope Featherington found love with Luke Newton's Colin Bridgerton on season three, Nicola herself has sparked romance rumors with Renegade Nell alum Jake Dunn.

Sam Phillips and Bessie Carter

Lord Debling and Prudence Dankworth (née Featherington) may not factor into each other's love lives on the show, but the actors have made a real-life match.

And it appears that Carter's mum Imelda Staunton approves.

Phoebe Dynevor

Daphne Bridgerton swapped vows with Regé-Jean Page's Simon Basset, and now the Bridgerton alum plans to take her own stroll down the aisle.

Dynevor flashed her engagement ring from producer Cameron Fuller at the 2024 Met Gala.

Regé-Jean Page

The erstwhile Duke of Hastings, Page having left the show after season one, keeps his personal cards close to his vest off-camera, but has looked awfully happy in copywriter Emily Brown's company since 2021.

Jonathan Bailey

Like Anthony, 9th Viscount Bridgerton, the English actor prefers to stay mum on romantic affairs.

But he told The Standard in December 2023 that he was in a not-secret-but-private relationship with a "lovely man."

"Having a private life is, for me, completely critical," the Fellow Travelers star said. "I don't know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs."

Simone Ashley

The Sex Education star, who fit the Vicountess bill for Anthony upon arrival from India, confirmed she was in a relationship with Tino Klein with a March 2023 Instagram post. But in February 2025, the actress shared she had entered her "single era" in an interview on BBC’s Woman Hour podcast, revealing the split occured one month prior.

Luke Thompson

Benedict Bridgerton seemingly just wants to be free to do his thing, as an artist and in the bedroom. Though maybe he's developing some feelings...

And Thompson, who's not one to share what he's up in real life, was totally onboard with his character's journey, wherever it took him.

"It's lovely to explore," he told Deadline ahead of the season three finale, "but also putting down some roots and choosing something or someone also has huge value and excitement."

Luke Newton

Newton dated actress Jade Louise Davies—her sister Amber Davies won Love Island U.K. in 2017 with then-boyfriend Kem Cetinay—for several years.

But he was snapped following Bridgerton's June 2024 midseason premiere in London hand-in-hand with dancer Antonia Roumelioti.

Of course, most fans are just disappointed that Colin Bridgerton and Penelope aren't together in real life.

"We think it’s really sweet," Coughlan told Extra of the off-camera shipping that goes on for them. "I think because we truly love each other."

Charithra Chandran

The actress who plays Kate's sparkling sister Edwina Sharma may be single at the moment, but she sent hearts soaring with the release of her 2024 rom-com How to Date Billy Walsh, costarring her longtime friend Sebastian Croft.

Claudia Jessie

It turns out the actress destined to play Eloise Bridgerton ended up falling for the non-actor she auditioned with, casting editor Cole Edwards.

"I got a job and a fella on the same day," Jessie told The Guardian in April 2024. "It was a great day for me, wasn't it?"
