As a determined leading lady in Bridgerton’s second season, Simone Ashley's character, Kate Sharma, found her happily ever after.

However, it appears that in real life, she is still on the hunt for "The One" after her short-lived romance with businessman Tim Sykes came to an end.

The pair was spotted sharing kisses and holding hands while seated courtside during a match at Arthur Ashe Stadium in September.

However, she has since unfollowed Tim on Instagram.

It’s not quite the fairytale love story her character Kate experienced after marrying Anthony Bridgerton in the show.

A source shared: “Simone and Tim enjoyed their time together over the summer.

“They have since decided that they want different things, leading to the end of their romance.”

This comes after Simone announced her split from long-term boyfriend Constantin “Tino” Klein in February.

While discussing her new film, Picture This, on BBC’s Woman’s Hour the following month, she remarked: “It’s somewhat ironic that I’m promoting a romcom while entering my single era as of January this year.”

Simone met former lawyer Constantin at the Grand Prix in Monaco in May 2022.

She later mentioned to Vogue magazine that there was someone special in her life, though she kept his identity private, stating: “I’m very happy. We haven’t gone public yet.”

They made their relationship Instagram official shortly thereafter, with Simone posting a birthday tribute to Constantin in December 2022, captioned: “The best birthday surprise for the best person.”

Let’s hope she finds luck in love by 2026.
