After his huge success in series 2 of Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey has become an overnight star. So naturally, his own romantic life has been put under the microscope.
The actor is notoriously private about his love life, but it hasn’t stopped fans from finding out everything they can about the star.
So who exactly is Jonathan Bailey’s partner?
Let’s investigate…
Jonathan Bailey Partner
As far as we know, Jonathan Bailey is single. But even if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be telling the press about it!
The actor isn’t keen about sharing details of his romances, and has never spoken openly about his dating life.
While some outlets have reported that the Bridgerton star is dating James Ellis, Jonathan has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours.
The pair have been snapped during a lunch together in London’s trendy Notting Hill, which is the second time they’ve been seen in public together.

James also accompanied Jonathan to the 2019 Oliver Awards, where they shared a friendly kiss after the Bridgerton star won an award for his work in the West End revival of Company.
So are Jonathan and James just good friends or something more? We’ll have to wait and see…
Sexuality
He might have become a sex symbol thanks to his time as Lord Anthony Bridgerton, but Jonathan is nothing like his on-screen persona.
Despite his privacy about his personal life, Jonathan has said he doesn’t want his sexuality to be a secret, and has been openly gay since he started working in the industry. But it hasn’t always been easy for the star to come to terms with his sexuality.
In a GQ Hype interview, Jonathan spoke about the advice he was given by a fellow actor about keeping aspects of his life private.
“There’s two things we don’t want to know: if you’re an alcoholic, or if you’re gay. All it takes is for one of those people in that position of power to say that, and it ripples through.
So, yeah, of course, I thought that. Of course, I thought that, in order to be happy, I needed to be straight.”

After a while though, Jonathan Bailey decided to put his happiness first.
“I reached a point where I thought, ‘F–k this, I’d much prefer to hold my boyfriend’s hand in public or be able to put my own face picture on Tinder and not be so concerned about that than getting a part.”
Acting Career
Jonathan Bailey might have hit the big time thanks to his time on Bridgerton, but he’s actually been climbing the industry ladder for many years now.
He started out as a child actor in Royal Shakespeare Company Productions when he was six years old.
Jonathan continued to work in the theatre in his adult life, and picked up roles in the likes of South Downs and the musical version of American Psycho.
The actor has worked alongside Ian McKellen at the Chichester Festival Theatre over the years- and it seems like they’re best pals!

Phoebe Dynevor Pete Davidson: Why they split
Together they’ve shared their experiences about what it’s like being openly gay in the entertainment industry, despite their generational gap.
Speaking candidly with Attitude Magazine, Ian quipped:
“It used to be that if you were gay, if you came out, then you would jeopardize the whole project — particularly if it’s a television show… Advertisers did not want it to be sullied by your sexuality”.
Jonathan added:
“It’s interesting, isn’t it? Because we’re saying about when you come out, that’s the beginning of a new chapter in growth, right? But for me, I don’t think I’ll ever know where I fit in, in terms of society, because it’s ever-changing.”
