Luke Newton is not officially dating anyone, but he may be romantically entangled with model Antonia Roumelioti currently.

About his relationship with season 3 co-star Nicola Coughlan, despite rumours and speculation, there is no evidence to suggest that the two are dating either. He has, in fact, had a relatively low-profile career in the British film and television industry until he gained attention for his role as Colin Bridgerton in the popular regency drama.

Newton underwent the proverbial ‘Bridgerton transformation’, a glow-up where show creator Shonda Rhimes turns these already handsome actors into hot Lords and Viscounts. This change was seen with Jonathan Bailey in season 2 of Bridgerton, creating much chatter around his romantic entanglements and now it was Newton’s turn to shine.

So, who has Luke Newton dated? 

Let’s break down Luke Newton’s relationship history and all the girls he has allegedly dated before ‘arriving’ in Hollywood.

Sophie Simnett (2016-2018)

Before landing his breakout role of Colin in Bridgerton, Newton was part of the Disney UK clan, starring in a popular TV series called The Lodge, from 2016 to 2017.  It was around this time that he was in a relationship with his co-star Sophie Simnett. The two reportedly dated for almost two years (2016 to 2018) but never went public with their relationship.

However, their chemistry on the set made it evident that the two were definitely a thing.

Welsh actress Jade Louis Davies was Luke Newton’s first official girlfriend whom he went public with after getting famous. The two started dating sometime in 2019 and would often share pictures together on Instagram. Newton even told Pop Sugar in 2021 that Davies had taken him to Amsterdam for Christmas and surprised him with a scrapbook of memories of them as a gift.

“She’s got an amazing memory, much better than mine, so it’s kind of nice to me to look back and go, ‘Oh, that’s what we were doing that day,’ rather than just remembering the photo,” he shared in the interview.

However, after going strong for four years, the two split up in March 2023 owing to reasons of not being able to give enough time to each other. A source told The Sun the couple had broken up, with an insider commenting, “Luke and Jade drifted apart as they could not find time in their busy schedules to invest in their relationship.”

In proper young love fashion, the two even deleted all traces of each other from their Instagram handles and moved on.

The latest girl to have sparked dating rumours with Luke Newton is model and dancer Antonia Roumelioti. The two were spotted together in LA on a holiday in January 2024. The pair were seen sunbathing by Griffith Observatory while on a hike, with a source almost confirming to The Mirror, “Luke and Antonia get on really well and are having a great time together,” adding, “They have not yet gone public as it is still early days, but they have grown very close and of course, all their friends and family know. They are thrilled to see them both so happy. And Antonia has been supporting Luke as he deals with the global attention that the latest series has attracted.”

But neither Newton nor Roumelioti have officially confirmed the nature of their relationship yet.
