Now that Luke has wrapped up his season-three, on-screen romance with Nicola, it seems the Bridgerton actor is ready to put his real-life love story in the spotlight.
He recently stepped out with professional dancer Antonia Roumelioti at an afterparty, following the London mid-season premiere of the show. The pair were holding hands, sparking dating rumours.
Luke hasn’t addressed their relationship yet. But internet sleuths have been quick to notice that Antonia was also in New York City at the same time Bridgerton premiered in the Big Apple.
The Mirror also reported that Luke and Antonia were seen sunbathing together in front of Griffith Observatory in L.A back in April 2024.

Since these allegations, Luke Newton hasn’t shared any signs of another girlfriend on Instagram – aside from some steamy pictures with Nicola for Bridgerton season three which had people questioning…
Are Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan dating?
After the lingering stares, holding hands and the overall close proximity on the Bridgerton press tour, many fans have questioned whether Luke and Nicola are in a romantic relationship outside of the series.
But it seems the pair are merely excellent at their jobs. Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan are not dating – but we can still hold out hope.
It is almost shocking to discover the pair are just friends after Nicola previously admitted to Cosmopolitan UK that the intimate scenes were her “favourite” to film.
“We wanted to make them sexy. We wanted it to feel real. We wanted the audience to be like, ‘Oh my god!’ They’re beautifully written scenes,” Nicola said. “It’s not just sexy for sexy’s sake. There’s a story in there. I think they’re beautiful, they were some of my favourite scenes to film. I never thought I would say that at the beginning of the season – I was terrified. But I look back on them with real fondness.”
