Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, 37, ‘dating’ Disney star, 24, after cosying up at festival

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan appears to have a new man in her life.

In her hit Netflix series, the 37-year-old plays Penelope Bridgerton who (spoiler alert) falls in love with Colin. But in real life, it seems Nicola is loved up with film producer and actor Jake Dunn, 24.

The pair were snapped looking cosy at All Points East festival in London last weekend. Nicola was all smiles as she tucked her arm around the waste of Jake, who has starred in Disney+ series Renegade Nell.

Nicola and Jake, also a film producer, were seen hugging and dancing together at the festival on August 26. They’re not the only apparent celeb couple to confirm they are dating as actor Paul Mescal and singer Gracie Abrams were seen together at the event.

Neither Nicola or Jake have commented on the rumoured romance but, according to Deuz Moi, they were spotted playing Scrabble in a London pub earlier this summer. The duo were also photographed together at the premiere of Renegade Nell in March of this year.

Fans of Bridgerton had wondered if Nicola and her Netflix co-star Luke Newton were dating. After all, their on-screen chemistry as Penelope and Colin was palpable.

But the Irish actress shut down the dating rumours. She told Extra: “[Luke and I] think it’s really sweet; I think because we truly love each other.

“I’ll never get to do something like [Bridgerton] again, on this scale. It’s so nice having such a lovely friend that I can do all this with.”
