Let’s be real here, who’s single and who’s not?
Let’s not lie to ourselves here, if you’ve been watching Bridgerton on Netflix you’ve definitely at least once thought about dating one of the cast members. Be that in real life, or imagined yourself as the next Duchess of Hastings, a true princess or the only person worthy of Eloise’s heart. Well sorry to burst your bubble, but a few of your dreams are about to broken – because some of the Bridgerton cast have partners in real life.
Yes, there really are people who now have the enviable accolade of dating a Bridgerton cast member and living out the fantasy in real life. I wonder if the prince is as kind and loving in real life? What would it be like marrying the Duke? Here’s a deep dive into the love lives of the cast of Bridgerton on Netflix – most importantly, who’s got partners, who’s courting, and who’s single.

Phoebe Dynevor, who plays Daphne Bridgerton, has previously spoken out about her love life. In 2014 she spoke in an interview about travelling South East Asia with her half Thai boyfriend at the time, recruitment executive Simon Merill.
More recently, she was linked to actor Sean Teale but according to reports they also split. There have been rumours that the Duke and Duchess were a thing in real life too, but this has been joked off as untrue. In an interview, Regé-Jean Page said all the sparks between them happened on screen and were from great script writing. A shame. It looks as though right now, Phoebe is single.

Right, let’s get down to the most important questions in life – is the most eligible man in town actually on the market or what? In 2016 he was rumoured to be dating Antonia Thomas (from Misfits and Lovesick) after being spotted at a number of film events and premiers together. They never confirmed the rumours.
Regé-Jean Page is pretty private about his life, so other than that there’s not much else known about his relationship status or possible past partners. But you know what they say, no news is good news, so we’ll take that as him being single. Thanks!
