Luke Newton has recently been photographed with his rumored girlfriend, Antonia Roumelioti, amid ongoing speculation about his relationship with his Bridgerton co-star, Nicola Coughlan. The 31-year-old actor and Antonia, a talented dancer, were seen together for the first time publicly, sparking even more interest in their budding romance.
The sighting occurred on Wednesday night (June 12) during the mid-season premiere of the popular Netflix series in London, England. Luke and Antonia were captured holding hands as they left the event, making a stylish exit. In the photos, Antonia stunned in a long turquoise dress with an open back, looking every bit the part of a star in her own right.
These images, obtained by People, have sent fans into a frenzy. Luke and Antonia were first linked back in May. Fans speculated about their relationship when they noticed Antonia’s presence at the season premiere in New York City, seemingly accompanying Luke.
Adding fuel to the fire, rumors had previously swirled around Luke and his Bridgerton co-star Nicola Coughlan, thanks to their undeniable onscreen chemistry. The two played love interests on the show, leading fans to wonder if their connection extended beyond the screen.
However, both Luke and Nicola have firmly denied any romantic involvement. Nicola addressed the speculation in a heartfelt manner, stating, “We think it’s really sweet, I think because we truly love each other. He is a really special person in my life, and I got to do this experience with him. I’ll never get to do something like this again, on this scale… It’s so nice having such a lovely friend that I can do all this with.”
Nicola’s comments highlight the strong friendship and mutual respect they share, which has only enhanced their performances on Bridgerton. Despite the rumors, it’s clear that their relationship is purely platonic and deeply supportive.
Luke’s public appearance with Antonia seems to further solidify this point. The couple’s decision to step out together, holding hands, at such a high-profile event speaks volumes about their relationship status.
