After months of speculation, Nicola Coughlan is ready to go red carpet official with her romance with Jake Dunn.
The "Bridgerton" star could barely keep her eyes off her man as they graced the red carpet at the BAFTA Television and Television Craft Awards on Thursday.
The glitzy event was hosted at the V&A Museum in London and pulled in a crowd of famous faces, but all eyes were on Nicola and Jake on the night.

They first generated relationship buzz back in February 2024 with a source indicating at the time that they were 'besotted' with one another.
In August, they were papped looking close at a festival in London and the following month Jake sent the rumour mill into a frenzy when he posted a picture of a pal wearing a hat with Nicola's name on it and a shirt that read 'And her perfect breasts' in reference to her infamous clap back to comments about her size.
Jake is also said to have been by her side as she filmed for Saturday Night Live in the US.
Now it seems the couple is ready to show off their relationship to the world.
The 37-year-old was seen gazing adorably at Jake, 25, as they posed for photographers at the BAFTA party.
She was chic in a short black mini dress, with an enormous bow to the back and opaque tights, and wore her long blonde hair straight.
She was also joined on the night by her "Derry Girls" co-star Siobhan McSweeney, as well as Emma Willis, who recently underwent heart surgery after discovering a condition she's had her whole life.
Nicola's appearance at the BAFTA party comes days after she slammed JK Rowling for celebrating a UK court ruling on trans rights and helped raise thousands to support the Not A Phase Charity.
