Bridgerton is back, baby! That’s right, our favourite period drama has finally returned to screens, with Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington’s relationship taking centre stage. But, we need to know, is Nicola Coughlan dating anyone in real life?
This season of the Netflix series sees Penelope enter the marriage mart with the help of her long-term crush, Colin, and we’re already dying for the second part of the series after that cliffhanger of an ending.
So, while we patiently (or, impatiently) wait for more episodes to arrive on the streaming platform, here is everything we know about Nicola Coughlan’s dating history.
Does Nicola Coughlan have a partner?
So, Nicola is very private so we don’t know much about her relationship status. Previously, it was reported that she dated actor Laurie Kynaston, who appeared as Phillip in Derry Girls and in Corey in Fool Me Once, but she star never addressed the rumours.
Most recently, she has been rumoured to be dating none other than her Bridgerton co-star, Luke Newton. What an iconic couple they would be!
But, a source close to the two actors confirmed “they are not dating,” according to People. Then, in an interview with Extra TV, she confirmed they’re just friends. “We think it’s really sweet, I think because we truly love each other,” she said.
“He is a really special person in my life. I’ll never get to do something like this again, on this scale.” Seems like Nicola is taking a leaf out of Lady Whistledown’s book!
