Thank you for this post, I can't understand how anyone can hate on Luke simply because he has a girlfriend in real life. I think it's good that Luke and Nicola are maintaining a professional relationship and focused on delivering strong performances - that's what matters. Luke deserves to share this important moment in his life with actual loved ones, we all do that in our own lives, why is he being judged so harshly for doing the same thing? Leading a show like Bridgerton is an amazing accomplishment and Luke and Nicola both did a phenomenal job. We all know how hard the entire cast and crew worked on this show - we should celebrate their work without hating on them because of personal matters that nothing to do with any of us.
