Luke Newton may be the protagonist of a romance set during the Regency period in the third season of Bridgerton. Still, in real life, he is in the process of developing a relationship of his own. When the Bridgerton actor and Antonia Roumelioti were photographed holding hands at an afterparty in June 2024, after the London midseason premiere of the Netflix series, it seemed the actor had revealed that he was dating the actress. After a month had passed, the couple was seen engaging in public displays of affection while on vacation in Italy.
Following the fact that Newton and Nicola Coughlan were seen holding hands during the Australia premiere event for Bridgerton season 3 in May 2024, fans had previously assumed that Newton was dating his co-star at that time. On the other hand, PEOPLE subsequently reported that the two were “not dating,” but rather “just friends” and “supportive co-stars for each other.”
Roumelioti is a professional dancer, and she often shares videos of herself on Instagram, documenting her performances or teaching her classes. Additionally, she has worked as a background dancer for other artists and performed for Dancing on Ice.
In addition, Roumelioti has collaborated with a variety of studios in London, such as The Playground and STC Training Club, among others.
A tournament that was similar to America’s Got Talent, Greece’s Got Talent, was one of the competitions that Roumelioti participated in while she was a senior in high school. Her partner from school, who told Cyprus Mail in 2017 that the two of them had dreams of dancing on Broadway or in London’s West End, was one of the people who performed at the performance with her.
According to The Mirror, in April of 2024, Newton and Roumelioti were allegedly seen sunbathing together in front of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
When Roumelioti shared a picture of herself eating in a café in Los Angeles at the beginning of April, her followers spotted it. An article that appeared in InStyle a few weeks later included Polaroid photographs that Newton had given. The photographs showed him standing in the same location at the café, with the same number on their table.
Fans noted that Roumelioti was in New York City at the same time as the debut of the third season of Bridgerton took place in the city in May of 2024. Although she did not attend the premiere, she was available to see it.
By uploading mirror photographs of herself on Instagram and labeling Manhattan as her location four days after the premiere, she made a subtle acknowledgment of the experience.
