Regé-Jean Page has been making fans swoon ever since he starred as the Duke Of Hastings on the Regency-era romance series that is Bridgerton. Fans have even been shipping him and his co-star and onscreen lady love, Phoebe Dynevor, for the longest time, but the two have repeatedly shot those romance speculations down, with Regé saying, “everything you need to know is on camera.”
“All the sparks that flew off of the beautiful scripts that we were handed, and so I think that the sparky scripted material are more than enough,” he explained in an interview with Access last month.
And Phoebe also said that their relationship is “strictly professional.”
“I’d love to say there was really something between us,” Phoebe told YOU Magazine in earlier this month. “But no, it has always been strictly professional. There was so much pressure on us to get it right that it was all about the work. We have a really professional working relationship.”
But that’s not to say Regé is single and available. While the 31-year-old actor has been notoriously tight-lipped about his personal life, sleuth-y fans have busted out their magnifying glasses, combed through the clues and are convinced that he has a girlfriend. And it’s looking more and more like rumors that the Duke of Hastings is indeed taken IRL are true.
Last week, paparazzi caught Regé sharing an embrace with a woman in the streets of North London. The lucky woman in Regé’s arms is Emily Brown, a soccer player and copywriter who has worked for brands like Nike, Converse, and Uber.
According to the Daily Mail, the pair have reportedly been together for about a year – and have reportedly purchased a home near the area where they were spotted embracing.
So far, there’s been no official confirmation on their relationship status. In the meantime, we’ll leave you with a Regé-ism that paints a picture of what a hopeless romantic he is.
“I’m a huge fan of romance as a concept. Romance is a wonderful thing and we need more of it in the world,” he told Entertainment Weekly in December 2020. “Most things at their core are love stories anyway, whether they realize it or not. It’s hilarious, the more seriously a show tries to take itself and detach itself from that, the more that the love story generally tends to come forward.”
