Public courtship and tender kisses: These two Bridgerton stars are a couple

Bessie Carter and Sam Phillips - Public courtship and tender kisses: These two Bridgerton stars are a couple

In the new season, she plays his older sister, the flame: Actors Bessie Carter (30) and Sam Phillips (40) have acknowledged their love. Pictures, which include "E! News," show the series stars on a morning walk in English Sussex. The actress affectionately kisses his shoulder and cheek.

In the third season of the Netflix hit "Bridgerton," Phillips plays Lord Debling, who has thrown an eye at Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan, 37). Carter appears in the role of her older sister Prudence.

"Bridgeton" Stars on the Red Carpet Together

There have been signs that they are a couple for a longer time. They have appeared together on the red carpet at least four times. Their debut was in March 2023 at the premiere of "A Little Life" in London's West End. In May, they attended another theater event together. In November, they even posed together with Carter's mother Imelda Staunton (68), as she accompanied Jim Carter (75) to the premiere of the film "Wonka."

Just a few weeks later, Carter and Phillips presented themselves together again at the finale party of the sixth season of "The Crown" for the photographers, this time with Jim Carter. This Netflix series is almost a family affair: In the series about the British royals, Staunton played Queen Elizabeth II. (1926-2022) in the last two seasons, and Phillips slipped into the role of a soldier in Seasons three and four.

1. Despite their on-screen rivalry in "Bridgerton," Bessie Carter's character and Nicola Coughlan's character have a close sibling relationship, reminiscent of Bessie Carter's real-life love with Sam Phillips.
2. After strolling together in English Sussex, fans are speculating if Bessie Carter and Sam Phillips' on-screen love in "Bridgerton" is mirroring their off-screen relationship, similar to how Phillips and Jim Carter share a role in "The Crown."
3. During the screening of "Bridgerton" season 3, talent manager Sam Phillips reaffirmed his love for actress Bessie Carter publicly, much like how Lord Debling confesses his feelings for Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan, in the show.
