Luke Newton and Antonia Roumelioti Make Romance Instagram Official

Luke Newton couldn’t help but show off his diamond this season. 

Approximately a year following the confirmation of the relationship between the “Bridgerton” actor and Antonia Roumelioti in London, they posted an adorable photo of themselves together on their social media platforms.

In his Instagram post on May 9, he shared not only some contemplative pictures of himself, but also a sweet photo of him planting a kiss on Antonia’s cheek while they were snuggled up on a couch at the Dovetale restaurant during the pre-BAFTA TV Awards party hosted by British Vogue and Netflix.

Although neither the actor nor the dancer have made any public statements regarding their relationship, they’ve been spotted together in London lately, even attending the BOSS One Premiere Party that was hosted by David Beckham.

It’s not surprising at all that Luke, aged 32, prefers to maintain a low profile when it comes to his personal life. Given the sudden surge of fame he experienced as the leading actor in Bridgerton’s season three alongside Nichola Coughlan, it’s only natural that he needs some time to adjust.

In an interview with WWD in May 2024, he admitted that he had been finding the situation quite overwhelming. He recalled a moment in Australia where he thought, “I’m making progress, I’m starting to genuinely enjoy it and not feel overwhelmed.” However, when the premiere came around, his feelings changed dramatically, and he confessed that he was far from feeling at ease.

Fortunately, he had Nicola by his side – she was the one who made her debut on the red carpet with boyfriend Jake Dunn this April – to guide him through his recent rise in popularity.

He praised his co-star’s interaction with fans, saying “It’s truly impressive,” he commented. “She manages it so gracefully, handling it with such poise. She serves as an excellent role model for dealing with unexpected fame.

In a similar fashion to Nicola, who is 38 years old and known for setting an example, Luke appears to have followed her lead in relationships. Much like the former Derry Girls cast member, he was seen walking around London with Antonia, and then casually posted her on his social media account.

It’s not surprising at all given how strong their connection grew during the production of Bridgerton. Nicola herself couldn’t contain her enthusiasm about their friendship, a bond that some fans hoped would evolve into a romantic relationship.

She shared with Time magazine in October that many individuals hope she’ll marry Luke,” she said. “Our friendship is truly beautiful. We share such a deep affection for each other, an experience I won’t find elsewhere. Isn’t it wonderful how two people can have such a unique bond?

In the third season, Penelope Featherington, portrayed by actress Nicola Coughlan, fell in love with Colin Bridgerton played by Luke Newton. Interestingly, speculations about a romantic relationship have been circulating around Nicola and Jake Dunn, who starred in Renegade Nell, recently.

On the show, Lord Debling and Prudence Dankworth (née Featherington) don’t seem to influence each other’s romantic stories, but in reality, the performers have formed a genuine couple off-screen.

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

Daphne Bridgerton exchanged wedding vows with Regé-Jean Page’s character, Simon Basset, and now, the former Bridgerton cast member is planning her own walk down the aisle.

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

Previously known as the Duke of Hastings, Page departed the series following its first season. Off-screen, he tends to keep his personal matters private, but since 2021, he has been frequently seen in the company of copywriter Emily Brown, and appears to be quite content.

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

However, he confided in The Standard back in December 2023 about being in a private yet non-clandestine relationship with a charming gentleman.

For the actor from Fellow Travelers, maintaining privacy is absolutely essential. He wonders if he could be as bold in expressing opinions on other matters if his entire life seemed exposed and uncertain.

Gillian Anderson, star of Sex Education, initially appeared to be the perfect match for Anthony upon his return from India as Vicountess, yet she confirmed her relationship with Tino Klein in a March 2023 Instagram post. However, in February 2025, Anderson announced her entry into a “single phase” during an interview on BBC’s Woman Hour podcast, disclosing that the separation had taken place one month earlier.

It appears Benedict Bridgerton yearns for freedom, both in his artistic pursuits and his personal life. However, it seems like he might be starting to harbor some tender emotions…

As a devoted follower, I myself found myself completely invested in Thompson’s character’s narrative, eagerly following its twists and turns wherever they led.

Exploring is wonderful, but so is setting down roots and making a commitment to something or someone,” he shared with Deadline before the season three finale. Such decisions carry great worth and excitement too.

Newton was in a relationship with actress Jade Louise Davies, while her sibling, Amber Davies, emerged victorious on the British version of Love Island in 2017 alongside boyfriend Kem Cetinay, for quite some time.

However, it was after the June 2024 midseason return of “Bridgerton” in London that he was spotted holding hands with dancer Antonia Roumelioti.

Indeed, it’s understandable that many fans feel let down because Colin Bridgerton and Penelope aren’t a couple in reality, much like how they wish they were in the series.

Coughlan shared with Extra that they find it very endearing, referring to the subtle romantic feelings between them which aren’t always visible on camera. They believe this is due to their deep affection for one another.

The actress portraying Edwina Sharma, Kate’s radiant sibling, is currently unattached, but she captured the attention of many with the launch of her 2024 romantic comedy titled “How to Date Billy Walsh“, co-starring her longtime companion Sebastian Croft.

As it happens, the actress who was supposed to portray Eloise Bridgerton developed feelings for the man she auditioned alongside, which is none other than casting editor Cole Edwards.

Jesse shared with The Guardian in April 2024 that he secured both a job and another opportunity on the same day. “What an amazing day for me, wouldn’t you agree?” he added.
