Dear gentle reader, does any modern producer know how to pick her leading men quite like Shonda Rhimes?
Firstly, there was Rege-Jean Page, who led Bridgerton Season 1 as the Duke of Hastings (who was aptly nicknamed The Hot Duke). Then, Jonathan Bailey won our hearts as Anthony Bridgerton in Season 2. Then, while awaiting the next instalment of the series, we were introduced to Corey Mylchreest as King George in the spin-off Queen Charlotte, who was—surprise, surprise—just as handsome as his main-series counterparts.
The latest to get the leading lad treatment? None other than Luke Newton, who had his star turn playing Colin Bridgerton in the show’s third season.
For his romp around the ‘Ton, Newton stars opposite Nicola Coughlan, who will play his love interest Penelope Featherington. We’re reportedly in store for a steamy season, and we’re Polin’s on-screen romance will see eyes turn to the real-life love lives of the actors behind them. So, wondering if Luke Newton, aka Colin Bridgerton, is single? Scroll on for everything you need to know.

Unfortunately for Colin fans, Luke Newton appears to have a girlfriend.

Luke Newton Age
The Bridgerton star was born on February 5, 1993 making him 31-years-old.

Newton would pass the checklist of many modern Tinder users because he is reportedly a solid 6 feet tall. This makes him taller than both Page and Bailey, so while he may not have a Lord or Duke title to his name, he does have that.

Prior to Roumelioti, Newton had several girlfriends who were also in the limelight.
The actor most recently dated West End actress Jade Davies, who he split from in 2023 after four years together. The pair were relatively public with their romance, with Davies even joining him at the premiere of Bridgerton season 2. The pair seemingly split in late 2022 and spent Christmas apart, with The Sun reporting, “they could not find time in their busy schedules to invest in their relationship.”
