Bridgerton has been praised for its diverse cast as it accurately reflects the diversity of characters from the original book series. Someone else tweeted, in the style of Bridgerton anonymous writer Lady Whistledown, "Dearest Reader, This is indeed spectacular news. He also discussed how the character of Anthony was written in such a way that allowed viewers to draw their conclusions on the character’s sexuality.

“It felt like a really big deal,” he said. Throughout the course of their on-screen relationship, viewers witness their love story unfold as they navigate the highs and lows of courtship, marriage, and parenthood. I don't know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs."

Who was the actor rumored to be dating?

Previously, Jonathan was rumored to be dating James Ellis, a director of brand partnerships and advertising, after they attended the 2019 Olivier Awards together and the actor kissed him before accepting his award for his role in Company.

Each novel (and corresponding season of the show) focuses on a different sibling and their romantic journey. One of the most talked-about topics, which has been widely debated among viewers, is whether or not Anthony Bridgerton is gay. We are just as anxious, and we're just as flawed and desperate to fall in love as everyone else.
