Nicola Coughlan makes red carpet debut with actor boyfriend Jake Dunn at BAFTA party

Nicola Coughlan made her red carpet debut with her boyfriend Jake Dunn at the BAFTA TV and Craft awards nominees party.

The Bridgerton star, 38, was first linked to the British actor, 25, when they attended the All Points East festival together last August.

And on Thursday night, the Galway native looked smitten with her beau as they arrived at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, where they posed for photos on the red carpet.

Nicola was stylish as ever in a black blazer style dress, which featured an extravagant tulle bow on the back.

She completed the look with black tights and a pair of black platform heels.

Nicola is nominated at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards, which will take place on May 11th at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

The 38-year-old is nominated for Female Performance in a Comedy, thanks to her role in Channel 4’s Big Mood.

The series won widespread praise when it aired last year, and a second season was confirmed to be in the works in February.

Nicola will go up against Anjana Vasan (We Are Lady Parts), Kate O’Flynn (Everyone Else Burns), Lolly Adefope (The Franchise), Ruth Jones (Gavin & Stacey: The Finale), and Sophie Willan (Alma’s Not Normal).

Nicola and Jake’s red carpet debut comes after she made their romance Instagram official in February, when she took to her Stories to wish him a happy birthday.

According to reports, Louisa Harland, who starred opposite Nicola in Derry Girls, introduced the couple after she met Jake while filming Disney’s Renegade Nell.

Fresh out of drama school, Jake is best known for his role in Renegade Nell, an 18th-century historical fantasy series.

 

He has also previously appeared in shows like Netflix’s Get Even, BBC’s Rebel Cheer Squad: A Get Even Series, and Channel 4’s Big Boys.

Meanwhile, the Irish actress is best known for her roles in Derry Girls and Bridgerton.

Nicola plays Penelope Featherington in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, which has propelled her to worldwide stardom.
