Bridgerton is back! Yes, our favourite period drama returned to screens on 16th May, with Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington’s taking over from Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton. But, we need to know, is Viscount Bridgerton dating anyone in real life?
This season of the Netflix series sees Kate and Anthony adjusting to married life, with Penelope and Colin's relationship finally taking centre stage. We’re already dying to see the second part of the season after the cliffhanger of an ending, which drops on 13th June.
So, if you're like us and want to fill your time with all things Bridgerton before the part two drops, then get ready for some Lady Whistledown-style gossip, as here is everything we know about Jonathan Bailey's dating history.
Jonathan Bailey's relationship history
2023 to now
So, Jonathan tends to keep his relationships out of the limelight, but he revealed in December that he is dating a “lovely man”.
“It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he told the Evening Standard. “Having a private life is, for me, completely critical. 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.”
We're not sure who the mystery man is, but as Jonny said, we're sure he's lovely!
James Ellis, 2019 to 2022
Previously, Jonathon was said to be dating actor James Ellis. They attended the the Olivier Awards together in 2019, and when Jonathon won an award for his role in Company, he kissed James before heading to the stage.
Neither commented on the romance publicly, so we're not completely sure when it started or ended, but a public kiss is definitely confirmation that these two were a thing!
Other than that, we don't know much about his relationship history, but he did previously open up to GQ about homophobia in Hollywood. He recalled another actor being told, "[There are] two things we don't want to know: if you're an alcoholic or if you're gay.
"All it takes is for one of those people in that position of power to say that, and it ripples through," Jonathan continued. "So, yeah, of course I thought that. Of course, I thought that in order to be happy, I needed to be straight."
"I reached a point where I thought, ‘F**k this.’ I'd much prefer to hold my boyfriend's hand in public or be able to put my own face picture on Tinder and not be so concerned about that than getting a part."
Good for him!
Bridgerton is streaming on Netflix now.
