"Polin" fans, brace yourselves! The chemistry between "Bridgerton" stars Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan is reaching a fever pitch, both on and off-screen. Could their undeniable connection be more than just good acting? Recent interviews and eagle-eyed fan observations suggest a real-life romance might be brewing.
During a recent "Bridgerton" cast interview, fans noticed a telling reaction from Luke Newton when Nicola Coughlan was happily chatting with other cast members.
Newton's playful (or perhaps not-so-playful) grimace and shift in posture sparked a flurry of speculation.
"Luke’s reaction was pure Tom Holland watching Zendaya interact with other men," one fan declared on social media. "That's the look of a man marking his territory!"
Another fan added, “The way he subtly leaned into Nicola, like he was trying to pull her attention back to him… classic possessive boyfriend move.
”
Adding to the intrigue, fans pointed out an instance where Newton seemed determined to stay glued to Coughlan's side.
"There’s plenty of room on the sofa, yet he practically sat on top of her!" one observant fan commented.
The off-screen intrigue follows the duo's whirlwind promotional trip to Brazil for "Bridgerton" Season 3. Fans were treated to adorable photos and videos of Newton and Coughlan exploring the vibrant city, sampling delicious food, and generally looking very comfortable in each other's company.
The trip even fueled speculation about the couple’s off-screen activities.
"Neither one of you suited is pulled the covers off. Do you sleep for the nude? Job tell me, sorry,” one cheeky fan commented on a photo of the pair posing in their hotel robes.
During an interview, Newton was asked what his character, Colin Bridgerton, and Coughlan’s Penelope would do on a modern-day honeymoon in Brazil.
His response? "They would do the same things he did with Nick in Brazil – like walking on the beach and eating delicious food.
"
Hmm, “Nick” in Brazil? Sounds awfully familiar!
Despite the mounting evidence, Newton has maintained that he and Coughlan are “just real best friends.”
But fans aren’t buying it.
"Getting naked with your best friend? Whatever it is, we just love seeing their cute interactions," one fan quipped in response to Newton's insistence on their platonic relationship.
Another added, “They’re either the best actors in the world at faking this level of chemistry, or they’re totally smitten with each other.”
Whether it's a genuine romance or a clever marketing ploy to drum up excitement for “Bridgerton,” the sparks between Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan are undeniable. As they continue to charm audiences both on and off-screen, one thing's certain: the "Polin" saga is far from over.
