Luke Newton, the charming star of Bridgerton, has captured the hearts of Netflix audiences with his portrayal of the dashing Colin. But what is his life like off-screen? Fans have been completely obsessed with his on-screen chemistry with Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan. Their fairytale ending in season three, as they went from friends to lovers, has left viewers swooning over their steamy sex scenes and heartfelt declarations of love.
But it's not just their on-screen chemistry that has fans raving; Luke and Nicola's off-screen dynamic is just as captivating. During the press tour for season three, fans couldn't help but notice the incredible vibes between the two actors as they discussed their characters and the show. Many have compared their chaotic energy to that of the leading men before them, Rege-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey. It's no surprise that a whole new generation of fans have fallen in love with Luke in his breakout role.
Before his star-turn in Bridgerton, Luke had appeared in Disney series The Lodge and had a guest spot on ITV's Mr Selfridge. But with his newfound fame, fans are curious about his personal life and who he might be dating. In June 2024, Luke was spotted holding hands with Antonia Roumelioti, sparking rumors of a romance. While neither have confirmed the relationship, their public appearance together at the season three part two premiere in London seemed like a soft launch. Fans also noticed that Antonia had shared photos on social media of herself in New York around the same time the Bridgerton cast was there. She is a dancer and model, represented by Mass Talent agency, and has even competed on Greece's Got Talent.
This isn't the first time Luke and Antonia have been linked; The Mirror reported that they were first linked in January of that year and were later spotted together in LA in April. Prior to Antonia, Luke was dating Welsh actress Jade Louise Davies for four years before they ended things in 2023. However, sources say that Luke and Antonia are still in the early stages of their relationship and are taking things slow.
While fans have been rooting for Luke and Nicola to strike up a romance, the two have shut down any dating rumors. They have a close friendship and have bonded over their shared experience of filming Bridgerton together. In an interview, Nicola gushed about Luke being a special person in her life and how she was grateful to have shared the experience with him. Luke echoed her sentiments, saying that there's something about filming a show together that bonds people.
Aside from his acting and love life, there's more to Luke than meets the eye. In the 2010s, he was part of a boy band called South4, formed with three of his classmates at The BRIT School in Croydon. They even signed a record deal and were dubbed "Sussex's answer to One Direction." The band's single "Cougar Town" was even played by Nicola during Bridgerton rehearsals, much to the delight of the cast and crew.
Luke's talent and charisma have certainly made him a rising star, and fans are eager to see what he does next. But for now, he's enjoying his success and the support of his friends and family. And who knows, maybe he'll surprise us with some more hidden talents in the future.
