Leave it to Nicola Coughlan, the queen of on-screen intrigue as Penelope Featherington (aka Lady Whistledown), to spark a real-life mystery with a simple Polaroid photo. The "Bridgerton" star recently sent fans into a frenzy when a vintage snapshot of her and co-star Luke Newton at Wimbledon resurfaced, reigniting speculation about their off-screen relationship.
"It's like an episode of 'Bridgerton' unfolding in real time," one fan commented on Twitter, perfectly capturing the spirit of the unfolding drama.
The photo, spotted tucked behind Coughlan's phone case, appears to be a vintage Polaroid capturing a sweet moment between her and Newton at the prestigious tennis tournament. But here's where things get juicy: Eagle-eyed fans have noticed subtle differences between this photo and a similar one that surfaced earlier, sparking a debate about whether it's a completely new photo or a clever diversion.
"Notice the white corner and the black patch at the bottom?" one observant fan pointed out on a Reddit forum dedicated to all things "Bridgerton." "They don't match the previous photo. It's like they're two different Polaroids altogether."
