Why it matters

Bridgerton star Claudia Jessie shared an update on dating, joking that her sex life does not resemble that of her character Eloise, who has engaged in no sex scenes on the steamy Netflix series.

Key takeaways

  • But he was snapped following Bridgerton's June 2024 midseason premiere in London hand-in-hand with dancer Antonia Roumelioti.
  • I got a job and a fella on the same day," Jessie told The Guardian in April 2024.
  • And it appears that Carter's mum Imelda Staunton approves.Daphne Bridgerton swapped vows with Regé-Jean Page's Simon Basset, and now the Bridgerton alum plans to take her own stroll down the aisle.

Still, she is well aware of the fact that those very scenes await her during future seasons, as Eloise becomes the leading lady in Julia Quinn’s fifth book To Sir Phillip, With Love.

“It does feel a little bit like I have agreed to jump out of a plane in a bit,” Claudia mused, “with close-ups in the nude and in front of my mum.”

While Bridgerton is well known for its sex scenes, as stars Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha explained, they did have a few issues when it came to filming those intimate moments for season four.

"What we actually did is we both got ill," Luke recently shared with E! News. “But different scenes. We kept falling ill!"

Yerin joked that both she and Luke being sick "tells us we were very mentally a little bit weak, a little bit nervous, my immune system was down" for the steamy takes.

"But no, in all seriousness," the 27-year-old continued, "I do think that with those scenes, it is just an extension of an emotion, and it's there because it has to be, not because we're just doing a steamy scene for a steamy scene's sake."

And Luke agreed, adding, "Bridgerton is very good at making the scenes feel actually poetic.” 

"To be able to engage with that makes it seem like it's a scene like any other scene," he continued. "They feel meaningful. Put it that way: They don't feel sort of tokenistic, which then makes it much more fun."
