Nicola Coughlan, the famous star of the series 'Bridgerton', attracted much attention by sharing photos from her romantic trip to Cyprus with her boyfriend, Jake Dunn. The couple, who have been officially together since October 2024, enjoyed their holiday at the five-star Anassa Resort.
Relaxing Holiday in Cyprus
During this trip, Nicola spent time by the pool wearing a stunning swimsuit and a chic black outfit, and she also shared pictures of Jake, who was shirtless. In the captions of these images, she wrote: 'I spent a week here and really didn’t know how good 7 days of relaxation by the pool, reading books, eating delicious food, and unwinding in a beautiful hotel would be for my body and soul.'
The actress candidly referred to her feelings, adding: 'Not everyone dares to say this, but I’m here! What a special time it was, and I am so grateful.'
Social Media Challenges
Nicola's photos in swimwear were shared after she admitted to the challenges she faces with social media. She had previously decided to delete her accounts and explained that these platforms have a negative impact on her. Nicola said: 'I only download social media to promote my work and then immediately delete them because they can have a lot of negative effects.'
In February 2025, Nicola officially announced her relationship with Jake on Instagram and celebrated his 25th birthday in her stories. After hiding their relationship for a long time, they finally confirmed their love in October 2024 when they were spotted returning home from a trip to a bar in North London.
Friends of the couple have said: 'They are very much into each other and have a great time together. Despite their busy schedules, they have managed to easily fit into each other’s lives because they have many mutual friends.'
Jake, who graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2023, has appeared in projects alongside 'Derry Girls' stars like Louisa Harland and Dylan Llewellyn. The two have also acted together in the Disney historical drama 'Renegade Nell.'
Strong Friendships and Mutual Support
Deep friendships among Nicola, Dylan, and Louisa continue after 'Derry Girls', and they always support each other in their professional journeys. Nicola and Jake were introduced to each other through Louisa, and these friendly relationships have helped them build their life together.
While Jake was still in his studies, he joined a Channel 4 project called 'Big Boys', written by Jack Roach, a close friend of Nicola. This friendly group always supports each other and is frequently seen in North West London, where Nicola has a home in the chic Stoke Newington area.
