Simone Ashley’s Complete Dating History

Wait 5 sec.

Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley has become synonymous with romance since she captivated viewers with her role as Kate Sharma on the Netflix hit. Her on-screen chemistry with actor Jonathan Bailey made Kate’s story one of the most popular seasons in the series. She released her rom-com Picture This in 2025, solidifying her iconic romantic heroine status. Offscreen, Ashley has largely kept her relationships private, though she has occasionally opened up about her dating life.Following her breakup from Constantin Klein, Ashley spoke candidly about embracing being single. In March 2025, she told People that she is “defining [her] single era as a time that I don’t wanna waste away.”“It’s about self-growth, and I am looking for someone who is so confident in themselves and is really ready to have an open heart in the same way I do. And I think that’s hard to find,” the actress said. “I’m not in a rush. It can be easy to jump into the next thing immediately, which is something that I am choosing not to do.”Ashley continued, “I want to take my time to find the right person for me and to work on myself—to grow, and to focus on my work.”“I’ve got such an incredible year ahead, and I’m up to such exciting things,” she added. “And I have the most amazing family and friends around me. So I’m working on my heart and on myself and on my confidence.”Since then, Ashley has been publicly linked to businessman Tim Sykes and, most recently, communications executive Jay Jammal.
