Okay, rumored girlfriend. They’re not officially-official yet, although they have proclaimed their love on social media. And they’ve been caught making public displays of affection.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s dive into everything we know about Luke’s love life!

Luke Thompson’s Girlfriend: Who Is Harriet Cains?
Dear gentle reader, while the third season of Ponteton Following the saga of Penelope Featherington finally winning the heart of Colin Bridgerton, there was an off-screen union of the two houses happening behind the scenes.
Luke Thompson and his Bridgerton co-star, Harriet Cains, who plays Philippa Featherington, have been sparking dating rumors for months.
It all started as soon as the new year began. The couple was seen getting very cozy in the Vanity Fair EE Rising Stars party on January 31, 2024. Luke was seen kissing her hair, and Harriet seemed to, well, girl, seem to like it. I don’t know how else to put it!
Now, so far, neither Luke nor Harriet have confirmed or denied the romance. In fact, when Harriet posted an Instagram of the event, she purposefully ignored a comment about whether or not she was dating Thompson.
But while snooping through her Instagram, fans noticed that in 2021, Harriet proclaimed that Thompson was her “favorite” Luke of the Bridgerton cast. (Sorry, Lucas Newton!)
Now, has Luke made the same statement on social media? I’m afraid not, as the man behind Benedict Bridgerton values his privacy.
Why Luke Thompson Hasn’t Become Instagram Official
Yes, if you’re waiting for a romantic gesture from Luke in the digital age, you’ll be waiting in vain.
It turns out he doesn’t have Instagram – or any social media, for that matter. And to be honest, he’s pretty happy about it.
“I don’t think ‘running away’ is the right word,” he said of his approach to social media in a Vestal magazine interview. . “For a lot of actors, social media is an ingenious way to keep the performance going. So on some level, I’d love to get involved; I just don’t think I can make it work. I’ve realized that a constantly updating platform is not something I feel equipped to handle; it takes a sledgehammer to my attention span. And I want to be able to focus when I need to. It also feels like a lot of effort, so maybe I’m just terribly lazy.”
So how will we know if they are really a couple or not? We guess we’ll have to see what happens when Bridgerton season 4 starts filming.
Because it’s about to start ASAP. In case you haven’t heard, Benedict has been confirmed as the focus of the next season!

‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Will Center on Benedict Bridgerton’s Love Story with ‘Silver Lady’ Sophie
It was announced on July 23 that Benedict would be the next Bridgerton sibling to find his soulmate. The season will follow the events of the novel “An Offer From a Gentleman.” It’s a Cinderella-type story that finds Benedict searching for a “silver lady” he meets at his mother’s masquerade ball.
In Netflix’s official announcement, the synopsis confirms that Benedict will be searching for the so-called “silver lady,” but does not explicitly mention the book’s character, a woman of humble origins named Sophie Beckett.
Given Benedict’s confirmation pansexuality – and the gender kink in FrancescaStory Plot – Many fans are curious to see how close to the book’s narrative the new season will come.
While the full cast has not been announced, the Bridgerton and Featherington families are expected to reprise their roles.
We hope to see Harriet alongside Luke next season – even if it’s just as friends and neighbors.
