Are ‘Bridgerton’ Stars, Yerin Ha And Luke Thompson, Dating Off-Screen? Actress Says, ‘My Love For..’

Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2 has officially arrived on Netflix on February 26, 2026. While the viewers have already enjoyed the first part, the second half of the season, with all the remaining episodes, brings back the focus on ‘Benedict Bridgerton’ and ‘Sophie Baek’s Cinderella-inspired romance with a dramatic twist. But amid the release and intriguing storyline, there has been equal buzz about the off-screen bond between Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson. Here’s what they have to say about it.

Are Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson dating?

Since the beginning of Bridgerton Season 4’s press tour, fans have been speculating about whether Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson share a romantic bond in real life. The duo’s chemistry during interviews, red carpet events, and promotional appearances led some viewers to speculate whether it extended beyond the show. However, Yerin recently sat down for an interview with The Nightly and directly addressed the speculation, clarifying their bond. In her words:

“Luke is a dear, dear friend. I adore him as a friend. We worked together for a very intense period of time for nine, 10 months. But I can’t control what people project onto us, but my friendship with him off-screen is different to what’s onscreen. It’s about being genuine, and my love for Luke as a friend is genuine.”

Further, the actress emphasised the importance of separating fiction from reality. She highlighted that audiences sometimes become deeply immersed in romantic storylines, making it difficult for them to distinguish between fiction and reality. Furthermore, she addressed the pressure that comes with the public about an actor’s dating life and said:

“We are also humans, and we don’t owe an explanation about what we do with our personal lives. Our private lives and our public-facing selves are very different.”
