Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan is reportedly deeply in love with her boyfriend, Jake Dunn. However, some of her friends are skeptical about the relationship's longevity.
Sources claim Coughlan, 38, has been cautioned about potential heartbreak due to the age difference with Dunn, who is 25. An insider told Life & Style that this age gap is the primary concern among her close circle.
Despite the warnings, Coughlan seems unfazed. "Jake is young, but they have a great connection, and there's plenty of chemistry," the source revealed. She is choosing to ignore the chatter and enjoy the present moment with Jake.
The couple's romance began in August 2024 after they were seen together at a music festival. They later confirmed their relationship on Instagram on Jake's 25th birthday.
This relationship follows speculation from Bridgerton fans who hoped for a real-life romance between Coughlan and her co-star, Luke Newton. Newton plays Colin Bridgerton, the husband of Coughlan's character, Penelope Featherington.
