While Lord Debling had his eyes on Penelope in series three of Bridgerton, Sam Phillips has fallen for a different Featherington sister. 

The actor, 40, and Bessie Carter, 30, confirmed their relationship as they were pictured together for the first time in Sussex.  

Bessie, who plays the role of Prudence Featherington on the hit Netflix show, packed on the PDA as she planted a kiss on Sam’s neck during a walk. 

The couple looked worlds away from their Regency costumes, with Bessie rocking an oversized black hoodie, tie-dye leggings and trainers. 

The actress ditched her extravagant wig for her natural brown curly locks and went make-up free for the outing.

Sam also opted for a laidback look in a tan jumper and blue baseball cap. 

The couple looked thoroughly relaxed in each other’s company as they enjoyed a stroll in the countryside.  

Last month, MailOnline revealed the actors began dating after meeting on set of season three.

The pair have been photographed at several events with her family, including alongside Bessie’s famous mum Imelda Staunton and dad Downton Abbey‘s Jim Carter.

The furthest back they have been pictured was in May 2023 where they looked cosy at a theatre event – suggesting they could have been together a good while.  

Rumours recently began to swirl on TikTok the pair could be an item, with one content creator posting a recent video titled: ‘Bridgerton co-stars that are dating in real life’. 

Many were quick to comment on the rumours as one said: ‘Okayyyy featherington sisters bagging the hot ones!’

Another said: ‘They’re so cute!!’, while a third penned: ‘I love this so much!’
