Chappell Roan and Scrabble: Nicola Coughlan’s dreamy relationship with actor Jake Dunn

Dearest gentle reader, our queen Nicola Coughlan has been spotted around the Ton with a new man. The Bridgerton and Derry Girls actress appears to be dating a British actor called Jake Dunn.

Who actually is Jake Dunn?

Jake is an actor from Nottingham. He graduated from the very competitive Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2022, and his career’s really taken off since then. He was in the Netflix show Get Even.

His acting profile claims he’s over six foot tall.

Jake Dunn is into music and seems to have the disposable income to see it live – he’s been to Beyoncé, Travis Scott and Lana Del Rey shows recently. He is a devoted Harry Styles stan. He asked on his Instagram story if anyone wanted to go to Love On Tour with him in 2022, then chronicled the experience in excessive detail on his Instagram. Can’t say I blame him.

They have quite the age gap

Jake is 24 years old. Nicola is actually 37 (despite playing teenagers for twenty years).

The couple might have met through Derry Girls actors?

So, Jake Dunn has plenty of mutual acquaintances with Nicola Coughlan. He appeared in the Channel 4 comedy Big Boys with Dylan Llewellyn who played “the wee English fella” James in Derry Girls. He also starred in Renegade Nell, which was led by another Derry Girls alumna, Lousia Harland. So maybe the couple met through one of them?

So, way back in June, Alice Kremelberg – who is in Renegade Nell with Jake – posted a photo dump of the cast and it included a pic of her with Nicola and Jake.

They were spotted being quite touchy-feely together at the All Points East festival in London on 24th August.

Apparently Netflix viewers saw them playing Scrabble together at a pub in Stoke Newington in north London and I cannot get over how cute that is. I’m also extremely jealous of people who went for a pint and saw Nicola Coughlan.

TikTok videos show the couple had a feminomenal time together at Chappell Roan’s third show at the O2 Academy Brixton in September. They wore matching pink cowboy hats and I’m obssessed.

On 25th October, the couple were photographed strolling around London together. Jake gave Nicola his hat to shield her from the paparazzi. Nawwww.
