The "Bridgerton" fandom is in a frenzy, dissecting every move made by stars Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. Is their on-screen chemistry spilling into real life? A recent Instagram story posted by Coughlan has fans convinced there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
Coughlan recently shared a snippet of Labi Siffre's soulful ballad "Blessed Be the Telephone" on her Instagram story.
The song, a poignant ode to the power of connection across distance, sent fans into a tailspin.
The timing of Coughlan’s post is particularly intriguing, coming just after the two-month anniversary of "Bridgerton" Season 3’s release. Could she be missing her on-screen love interest, Luke Newton?
The song’s lyrics seem to support this theory, with lines like:
“Blessed be the telephone/That takes my voice to you/And brings your voice to me/Oh, blessed be the telephone.
”
Fans quickly took to social media to share their theories.
“Nicola wouldn’t post this song without a reason,” one fan commented. “She’s definitely thinking about Luke!”
Another added, “The lyrics are so telling! She’s obviously missing him and wishing they could talk.”
Some fans speculate that Coughlan's post might be less about personal longing and more about acknowledging the overwhelming fan love for her and Newton’s characters, Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, affectionately known as “Polin.
”
Perhaps the song is a nod to the passionate “Polin” fandom, who are eagerly awaiting the couple’s highly anticipated love story in the upcoming season.
Adding fuel to the fire, "Bridgerton’s" makeup artist, Neil Young, recently shared a stunning photo of Coughlan from the Season 3 press tour. The actress looks radiant in a sleek black blazer and edgy leather gloves, exuding a confidence that has fans swooning.
But it's the comments section that has people talking.
“We all are missing our queen,” one fan wrote, a sentiment echoed by countless others.
Could this be a subtle nod to the "Queen Bee" of the “Polin” fandom, Nicola Coughlan herself? Or are fans simply missing their favorite "Bridgerton" star?
Whether Coughlan’s Instagram story was a deliberate message to Newton, a shout-out to her fans, or simply a song she was enjoying, it's clear that the "Bridgerton" fandom is captivated by the possibility of a real-life romance between these two.
Until either Coughlan or Newton confirm or deny the rumors, fans will continue to analyze every post, every comment, and every shared glance for clues about the true nature of their relationship. Stay tuned!
