LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Co-stars Bessie Carter and Sam Phillips have apparently struck up a romance and moved in together, despite the scandal surrounding 'Bridgerton'.

Bessie, 30, who plays Prudence Featherington, and Sam, 39, a newcomer who plays Lord Debling, met on the set of the popular Netflix series and began dating.

Bessie Carter and Sam Phillips' romance

Filming for the eagerly awaited third series commenced in July 2022 and concluded in March 2023, less than a year later.

According to Daily Mail, the actors began dating after meeting on the set of season three, even though their characters didn't interact on the show.

Following the release of a video on TikTok dubbed "Bridgerton co-stars that are dating in real life," rumors about the couple's possible relationship began to circulate.

Their most recent photo together dates back to May 2023, when they were seen looking cozy at a theater performance, indicating that they may have been together for a long time.

The two were first seen together in May 2023 when they went to Tequila Mockingbird in London for the Theatrical Consequences: The 5th Annual Platform Presents West End Gala after party.

The couple has hinted at their relationship on social media by sharing identical holiday photos and occasional glimpses of one another, besides being spotted together at a number of occasions.

As per Daily Mail, Sam has been sharing photos of himself and Bessie together while on vacation at a beach house, both of them dressed in the same fluffy white robe.

With the description, "Aggy as HELL August (with some fun times with great pals and cats etc xox)," Bessie released a photo of herself with her boxes packed in a slideshow of images, revealing that she had moved in 2023.

She included a picture of Sam using his allotment in the same photo slideshow. Bessie tagged Sam in a photo of a kitchen, and he responded by posting another photo of the same kitchen with the phrase "home," proving it was his place.

The fact that the two shared identical photos of the Barcelona skyline on social media should have indicated that they were dating, but Sam only updated Stories, while Bessie posted on her grid.

Bessie only shared a photo of the back of his head while remaining evasive about the fact that they were vacationing together in September 2023.

Imelda stood in the center of their trio pose, implying that Sam had previously seen her side of the family.

Imelda portrayed Dolores Umbridge in the 'Harry Potter' films, while Bessie's her father Jim Carter is an actor as well, best known for his portrayal of Mr Charles Carson in 'Downton Abbey'.
