Simone Ashley’s Complete Dating History

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. But at the moment, Ashley’s private life is not about romance. The actress is currently single and loving it.

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 30-year-old 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,” Ashley 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.”

So, before her single era, who was Ashley romantically entangled with? Here’s her complete known dating history so far.

Ashley started dating Constantin Klein after she met him in May 2022 at the Grand Prix in Monaco, which she shared with Vogue in a November 2022 interview. Klein worked as a corporate lawyer until 2019, before switching careers and becoming the CEO of GP Ice Race, a winter car race that runs on an actual ice track.

In the Vogue interview, Ashley didn’t say who this new boyfriend was but told the outlet, “I’m very happy. We haven’t gone public yet, and we’re having those conversations about how we can get there before anyone else does.”

When asked about living together, she added, “I’d like to but, you know, one day.”

Before her interview, fans were pretty aware of Klein because they were seen together at a few public events over the summer. In December 2022, she posted a photo of Klein blowing out his birthday candles on Instagram, writing in the caption, “The best birthday surprise for the best person.”

He also made a discreet appearance in a carousel of pictures of a beautiful winter vacation.

Things became “official” when she shared a photo of them being affectionate and laughing at a Netflix BAFTAs after-party in London in March 2023. And in August 2023, she shared some pics of him taken by her brother while out on a hike.

Klein hosted a birthday party for Ashley in March 2024. She shared pictures from the night on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Thank you to my love for organizing the best day ever. I adore all my friends so much ❤️.”

But in early 2025, Ashley revealed her relationship had ended. During her February 28 appearance on BBC’s Woman Hour podcast, Ashley said, “It’s kind of ironic I’m promoting a rom-com [Picture This], and as of January this year, I’ve been entering my single era.”

She added, “I’m focusing on me and focusing on my work and my inner confidence. It feels like a different chapter from when Bridgerton came out, where things were just so crazy.”

The former couple was last seen out together in October 2024. Ashley has not commented on why they split.
