They were first seen hand-in-hand at theGQMen of the Year Awardsin September 2021, where Page was honored with standout performance for his role onBridgerton.

In general though, Page has said he’s a romantic.

“I’m a huge fan of romance as a concept. Romance is a wonderful thing and we need more of it in the world,“he previously toldEntertainment Weeklywhile discussingBridgerton. “Most things at their core are love stories anyway, whether they realize it or not. It’s hilarious, the more seriously a show tries to take itself and detach itself from that, the more that the love story generally tends to come forward.”
