Bridgerton's Bessie Carter packs on the PDA with boyfriend Sam Phillips as they confirm their romance on country walk after finding love on set
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.
