Fans have been waiting more than a year for the return of "Bridgerton," which will premiere on March 25, 2022. Jonathan Bailey’s Lord Anthony Bridgerton will be the focus of Season 2, which will build on his love life and his baggage following his father's death.

Fans of "Bridgerton" were given little information about Lord Anthony in the first season, which can also be said about Bailey in real life. Bailey has been quiet about his personal life for a long time, leading fans to speculate about whether he is dating anyone.

Although Bailey plays a toxic straight male on “Bridgerton,” he is gay in real life. Bailey briefly hid his sexuality on the advice of a friend, but he decided against it after realizing he needed to be true to himself, saying he'd “much prefer to hold [his] boyfriend's hand in public or be able to put [his] own face picture on Tinder.”

Although Bailey hasn't publicly stated who he's dating, it's widely assumed that he's dating James Ellis. The two shared a kiss after Bailey won Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 2019 Olivier Awards for his role in the West End revival of "Company."
