When Were Emily & Regé-Jean First Seen Together?

Emily and Regé-Jean were first spotted just before Valentine’s Day 2021 sharing a tender embrace on the sidewalks of North London. The pair were incredibly bundled up, so it was difficult to tell who the two were, at first. However, their identities were revealed when snaps of the pair began circulating online. By the looks of the images, the two most definitely had a lovely Valentine’s Day weekend.

What Is Emily’s Job?

Emily is a part-time soccer player in the United Kingdom as well as a part-time freelance copywriter, according to Daily Mail. As far as her copywriting work goes, Emily has been commissioned by brands and companies such as Nike, Converse, and Uber, per the Daily Mail. Emily is also a philanthropist, as she plays ball for Football Beyond Borders, which “works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school, to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood,” according to its website.

Do Emily & Regé-Jean Live Together?

It seems that Emily and her Bridgerton beau have been residing together for quite some time! Just months after filming the first season of the Netflix hit series wrapped, the couple bought a $1 million home in North London together in February 2020, also according to the Daily Mail. When the two were spotted sharing a hug in 2021, they were seemingly just near the home they share.

Has Regé-Jean Talked About Emily Before?

Regé-Jean has been incredibly reticent to share details about his personal life with the public. In fact, he’s spent more time assuring fans of the period drama that he and co-star Phoebe Dynevor aren’t an item, though fans have totally shipped them since the show premiered at the end of Dec. 2020. “I think everything you need to know is on camera. That’s why we presented it so beautifully for you,” the actor said during a January Access Hollywood interview. “All the sparks that flew off of the beautiful scripts that we were handed, and so I think that the sparky scripted material are more than enough.”

Although he keeps his lips sealed about the love he shares with Emily, he is certainly a romantic at heart. “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 explained to Entertainment Weekly in Dec. 2020. “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.”

Are Regé-Jean & Emily Instagram Official?

It doesn’t look like Emily has made a single appearance on Regé-Jean’s Instagram account. Of the actor’s more than 100 posts, nearly all of them have been dedicated to his work as an actor. His earliest posts even feature behind-the-scenes photos and promotional images for the short-lived ABC series For The People. Candid shots from his personal life, however, are very few.
