AceShowbiz - "Bridgerton" season 3 has captivated audiences with its steamy carriage scenes and romantic rendezvous. But off-screen, the love story between Bessie Carter, who plays Prudence Featherington, and Sam Phillips, who portrays Lord Debling, has fans buzzing.
First photographed together in May 2023, the couple's relationship has been the subject of much speculation. Now, the couple confirm their romance with a PDA where she planted kisses on his shoulder.
According to MailOnline, Bessie and Sam's romance began during the filming of Bridgerton's third season, which started in July 2022. Notably, Bessie, 30, moved into Sam's flat in Brighton last summer, marking a significant step in their relationship. This coupling has not only made waves among fans but also garnered approval from Bessie's high-profile parents.
The pair have been seen at several notable events with her family. They attended the Theatrical Consequences: The 5th Annual Platform Presents West End Gala after-party in May 2023, looking quite cozy. They also accompanied Bessie's mother, Imelda, to the "Wonka" premiere in November 2023 and were present at "The Crown" season 6 finale celebration in December 2023, where Sam reprised his role as the Queen's Equerry, Stephen Chambers.
Their real-life romance contrasts with their high-society characters on the Netflix show. For a recent stroll in Sussex, they opted for casual attire, with Bessie in a black sweatshirt and gray leggings, and Sam in an orange T-shirt and black sweatpants. Their laid-back outing was a refreshing departure from the prim and proper world of "Bridgerton".
Fans have been quick to comment on social media. One TikToker posted a video titled "Bridgerton co-stars that are dating in real life," which has fueled further excitement among viewers. Comments range from "Okayyyy Featherington sisters bagging the hot ones!" to "They're so cute!!" affirming their status as the new fan-favorite couple.
While the chemistry between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton takes center stage on-screen, fans can't help but be charmed by the off-screen romance blossoming between Bessie and Sam. With Bridgerton season 3 already pulling in 45.1 million views within four days of its release, it seems both on and off-screen, love is in the air.
