Who is Luke Newton dating?

Sadly for Bridgerton fans, not only is Luke Newton not dating his co-star Nicola Coughlan but he appears to be a taken man.

The leading man of the latest season was papped on the 12th of June hand in hand with drop-dead gorgeous dancer Antonia Roumelioti after the midseason London premiere.

The relationship was kept relatively under wraps during the press junket for the first half of the season, but now that the season has premiered, we're sure we're going to see a little more of these two.

The actor has kept a relatively low-key career in the British film and television industry until he was thrust into the spotlight being cast in Bridgerton as Colin Bridgerton.

Luke has undergone the ‘Bridgerton transformation’, a phenomenon whereby some magical witchcraft, show creator Shonda Rhimes has managed to take handsome enough actors and make them the hottest people who have ever lived when it's their turn to shine.

It happened with Jonathan Bailey in season 2 of Bridgerton and it’s finally Luke’s turn. The show hasn't even dropped yet and fans all over the world have obsessed over the actor as they've frantically tried to find out who he’s dated in the past.

Who did Luke Newton date before? Full dating history

Sophie Simnett 2016 - 2018

Before he became the household name he almost certainly will become after this season of Bridgerton, Luke Newtown was a Disney kid!

The actor starred in a Disney UK series called The Lodge between 2016 and 2017 where he featured in 25 episodes, it’s also where he met Sophie Simnett.

Sophie also starred in the show and the pair reportedly dated from between 2016 - 2018. Neither actor was large enough at that point to need to publicly comment on their personal lives so it was never confirmed exactly when and why their relationship ended.

However, Sophie’s gone on to snag roles in hit shows such as Poldark.

Jade Davies 2019- 2023

Bridgerton season 1 was released in 2020, so filming must have occurred around the time that Luke met Welsh actress Jade Louise Davies. Little did he know just how much that small supporting role would change his life.

Reportedly Luke and Jade began dating around 2019 and stayed together until 2023 when Bridgerton season 3 began filming, but neither actor confirmed whether Luke's rise to fame had anything to do with their split.

However, according to the tabloid's source, “Luke and Jade drifted apart as they could not find time in their busy schedules to invest in their relationship.”

Jade is a West End singer and interestingly enough her sister is Amber Davies, the winner of Love Island series 3 alongside Kem Cetinay! Now that we’ve said it, you can see the similarities between the sisters.

With Luke’s profile higher during his relationship with Jade, the actors had a more public relationship, often posting one another on socials as well as mentioning each other in interviews here and there.

Speaking to PopSugar in 2021 Luke revealed that Jade had surprised him with a holiday to Amsterdam for Christmas whilst also revealing she has created a scrapbook filled with memories they shared together.

“She’s got an amazing memory, much better than mine, so it’s kind of nice to me to look back and go, ‘Oh, that’s what we were doing that day,’ rather than just remembering the photo,” he said in the interview.
