Dearest reader,
Does any modern producer know how to pick her leading men quite like Shonda Rhimes?
Firstly there was Rege-Jean Page, who led Bridgerton Season 1 as the Duke of Hastings (who was aptly nicknamed The Hot Duke). Then, Jonathan Bailey won our hearts as Anthony Bridgerton in Season 2. Then, while awaiting the next instalment of the series, we were introduced to Corey Mylchreest as King George in the spin-off Queen Charlotte, who was—surprise, surprise—just as handsome as his main-series counterparts.
The latest man about ‘Ton to get the leading lad treatment? None other than Luke Newton, who is getting his star turn playing Colin Bridgerton in the show’s third season.
For his romp around the ‘Ton, Newton stars opposite Nicola Coughlan, who will play his love interest Penelope Featherington. We’re reportedly in store for a steamy season, and we’re Polin’s on-screen romance will see eyes turn to the real-life love lives of the actors behind them. So, wondering if Luke Newton, aka Colin Bridgerton, is single? Scroll on for everything you need to know.
Is Luke Newton Single?
As of 2024, all signs point toward Luke Newton being single.
The actor has not been papped on any dates in recent months and his social media is void of signs of a girlfriend. Plus, he was reportedly spotted on A-list-only dating app Raya last year, so he is evidently looking, it seems.
Luke Newton Age
The Bridgerton star was born on February 5, 1993 making him 31-years-old.
Luke Newton Height
Newton would pass the checklist of many modern Tinder users because he is reportedly a solid 6 feet tall. This makes him taller than both Page and Bailey, so while he may not have a Lord or Duke title to his name, he does have that.
Luke Newton Dating History
So we know he is seemingly single, but who has Luke Newton dated in the past?
The actor most recently dated West End actress Jade Davies, who he split from in 2023 after four years together. The pair were relatively public with their romance, with Davies even joining him at the premiere of Bridgerton season 2. The pair seemingly split in late 2022 and spent Christmas apart, with The Sun reporting, “they could not find time in their busy schedules to invest in their relationship.”
Prior to that, Newton is rumoured to have dated his The Lodge costar Sophie Simnett from 2016-2018. However, neither ever confirmed arelationship.
