Nicola Coughlan makes red carpet debut with boyfriend at Bafta party
The couple walked the carpet at the Bafta TV and Craft awards nominees party on Thursday. The 38-year-old Derry Girls star and her fellow actor beau posed for the camera as they arrived at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Coughlan stunned in an elegant figure-hugging black blazer mini dress, the back of which was adorned with a large tulle bow with a train. She paired the fit with black opaque tights, a black clutch and a pair of black open-toed heels. Jake opted for a more casual look, pairing a pair of white Adidas trainers with a navy suit. He also wore a wine jumper with a white striped shirt featuring an open collar. Nicola and Jake confirmed their romance in October after they were spotted returning home hand-in-hand from a pub trip in North London. The pair had long kept their budding romance under wraps. Dunn and Coughlan were acquainted by their mutual friend, Louisa Harland, who starred in both Renegade Nell and Derry Girls. She shared a snap of the couple on her Instagram stories last March. The couple went Instagram official in February when the Bridgerton star posted a sweet snap to her Stories to mark Jake's 25th birthday. Sharing a picture of Dunn sitting on a film set as he gazed upwards to the sky, she captioned the post 'Happy Birthday,' adding an emoji love heart. In August, the pair were seen at London's All Points East festival with their arms wrapped around each other dancing, but their relationship was not confirmed. ADVERTISEMENT Nicola reportedly dated actor Laurie Kynaston who appeared in an episode of Derry Girls alongside her. Kynaston played the role of a protestant student who was paired with her character Clare on a day of cultural exchange. Though they never publicly confirmed their romance, they have shared snaps online together. The pair reportedly split to focus on their careers. Fans of Bridgerton had previously hoped she was in a relationship with her character Penelope Featherington's love interest Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton. Speaking to Extra, the pair said the thought it was 'really sweet' but ultimately denied dating. 'We think it's really sweet, I think because we truly love each other, you know what I mean?' Coughlan said. 'He is a really special person in my life, and I got to do this experience with him. I'll never get to do something like this again, on this scale. Like are you kidding me? We're here in New York City, having our premiere. So it's so nice having such a lovely friend that I can do all this with.'

In October the couple were spotted in New York at a taping of the late-night comedy show, SNL, and one onlooker said: 'Her boyfriend stood by her side proudly while people kept coming up fan girling.' While Nicola from Galway has been on the acting circuit for over ten years, finding her big break in the Channel 4 show Derry Girls, Jake is fresh out of drama school. But the handsome British actor bagged the lead role in a Disney series, Renegade Nell, with a second series commissioned around him, several stage shows, a Netflix series and a feature film - all while still at drama school. As a rising star in the industry, Jake boasts a slew of famous friends including the likes of The Trial of Christine Keeler's Ellie Bamber and Sex Education's Connor Swindell.
