Nicola Coughlanis the talk of theBridger-town!
The couple kept the outing casual, with Dunn, 24, sporting simple jeans and a hoodie paired with a lime green baseball cap—meanwhile, Coughlan donned a long black trench coat with a light yellow sweater underneath.
Coughlan was first linked to Dunn, a fellow actor, in August 2024, though they only recently took their relationship public in October 2024 when they werespotted on a date in London.
The sighting came one month after Dunn referred to one of Coughlan’s interviews, in which she said “women with my body type” are “women with perfect breasts.” Dunnposted a photoof a friend wearing a hat that read “Nicola Coughlan” and a shirt that said “and her perfect breasts.” Another friend in the photo wore a similar hat that read, “Shady Whistledown,” a reference to Coughlan’s on-screen alter ego.

In June 2024, Coughlan reprised her role inBridgerton’s third season as Penelope Featherington — the shy wallflower and now not-so-secret writer, Lady Whisteldown. The latest installment of the popular period romance drama saw Coughlan’s character as the main female lead, alongside her costarLuke Newton, who plays Colin Bridgerton.
Fans of the show speculated if Coughlan and Newton had a romance amid the launch ofBridgerton’s third season, though she later debunked the rumors in an interview withTIME, clarifying that she and Newton are just friends. (Newton is rumored to be datingprofessional dancer Antonia Roumelioti.)
