Nicola Coughlan, the beloved star of Netflix's Bridgerton, is officially off the market! After months of swirling rumors, Coughlan (37) and Jake Dunn (24) have confirmed their romance with a super cute public display of affection (PDA) in London. Photos obtained by PEOPLE show the happy couple strolling arm-in-arm after a cozy date at the Auld Shillelagh Irish pub on October 23rd. This confirms earlier rumors.

Coughlan looked effortlessly chic in a black dress, black tights, and a burnt orange sweater, while Dunn kept things casual with green cargo pants, a white and red baseball tee, and a baseball cap. They seemed totally engrossed in conversation, and those photos alone just convey that incredibly happy energy they exuded while sharing a quiet date night!

The couple originally sparked rumors after appearing together at various public events. A June Instagram post from Dunn’s Renegade Nell co-star, Alice Kremelberg, showed them together; then, Deux Moi snapped photos of them smiling at the All Points East music festival in August, giving everyone additional clues! And now, those cozy pictures are the official confirmation that those of us who had speculated earlier in those various outlets now know to be completely correct!

Before the Coughlan/Dunn romance blossomed, there were some intense rumours concerning Coughlan's Bridgerton co-star Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), sparked by those images taken at the show's Australian launch event. But as sources revealed, and later as both actors independently verified, the actors are simply close friends! This might come as disappointing news for those hardcore fans of this specific pairing in the show.

Meanwhile, other members of the Bridgerton cast have already made major announcements concerning their real life romance. Luke Newton actually confirmed his romance with dancer Antonia Roumelioti. And Bessie Carter (Prudence Featherington) and Sam Phillips (Lord Debling) are also a real-life couple and are seen in those images that show those actors themselves. Even more surprising news came when we find out Carter’s mum (Imelda Staunton) totally approves. That's huge, folks!

Other members of this incredibly popular television drama have remained much more private about their personal relationships, like Regé-Jean Page (the original Simon Basset, who’s been linked with copywriter Emily Brown since 2021. It is known, however that this pair remain relatively quiet concerning these matters.),Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton) who showed off her engagement ring from producer Cameron Fuller at the 2024 Met Gala, showing an enormous level of implied social awareness, using a known media moment for her private announcement; and Charithra Chandran (Edwina Sharma), currently single. That might disappoint many audiences, although, that is somewhat alleviated as the talented actress's rom-com, How to Date Billy Walsh, just recently had its debut.

Coughlan and Newton's undeniable onscreen chemistry created major fan speculation. That amazing off-screen support between the two shows why they might seem like such an amazing pairing. She jokes to TIME in a recent interview: "A lot of people really want me to marry Luke...We have this gorgeous friendship." And this also creates additional awareness for people in similar situations; relationships not defined entirely through sexual elements, but instead focusing on platonic aspects as the major element; yet generating excitement nonetheless.

After a relatively long and well-documented and frequently noted private life, Coughlan's openness in embracing this relationship highlights the transition of actors finding partners in new places and is completely appropriate and adds an interesting context.
