Luke Newton just took his relationship to the next level.
The Bridgerton star went Instagram official with his dancer girlfriend Antonia Roumelioti over the weekend as he shared a loved-up photo of them from a British Vogue pre-BAFTA party. In the shot, Newton has his arm wrapped around Roumelioti and is kissing her cheek as she leans into him with a smile.
“Pre bafta party with @netflix & @britishvogue 💃🏻,” Newton, 32, captioned the post, which also featured three solo shots of him from the event, including a photo of him in the car on the ride over.

Newton and his costar Nicola Coughlan were nominated at the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards for the steamy carriage scene in season 3 of the Netflix hit series, which saw their characters Colin and Penelope finally act on their chemistry.
The May 10 ceremony came weeks after Coughlan, 38, also took the next step in her own relationship with actor Jake Dunn as they made their red carpet debut at the BAFTA Television & Television Craft Awards nominees party in April.
Speculation about Newton’s relationship with Roumelioti began this time last year, as he was in the midst of a whirlwind press tour with Coughlan for the premiere of Bridgerton season 3. He brought the dancer to the show’s midseason premiere in London last June, and they were seen leaving the afterparty hand-in-hand, which marked their first outing together.
They were later seen enjoying a romantic getaway in Sorrento, Italy, in July, and though they have continued to step out together, Newton’s Instagram post with Roumelioti marks his first official confirmation of their relationship status.

His afterparty debut with the dancer last year came following speculation about the nature of his and Coughlan’s off-screen relationship.
A source told PEOPLE amid fan theories that the actors were getting romantic in real life, that they were “just friends” and “supportive co-stars” but were “not dating.”
