Simone Ashley on love, self-growth and why she’s taking her time to find the right person

Bridgerton star Simone Ashley had long been associated with on-screen romance, thanks to her portrayal of Kate Sharma on Netflix’s hit series. Speaking to People, the actress reflected on her personal life, saying she was “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. 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,” she explained.

Simone Ashley went on to say,

“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.”

She added that the coming months were already shaping up to be eventful:

“I’ve got such an incredible year ahead, and I’m up to such exciting things. 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.”

Inside Simone Ashley’s journey from relationship to self-focused ‘single era’

Before her recent single status and public sighting with Joshua Jackson, Simone Ashley had been in a relationship with Constantin “Tino” Klein. The two met in May 2022 at the Monaco Grand Prix, an encounter Ashley later mentioned in a Vogue interview published in November that year. Klein, who had left his role as a corporate lawyer in 2019, had since taken on the role of CEO at GP Ice Race, a winter motorsport event held on an ice track.

In her Vogue interview, Simone Ashley did not disclose Klein’s name but shared,

“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.”

Asked about the prospect of living together, she said,

“I’d like to but, you know, one day.”

By early 2025, the relationship had ended. Appearing on BBC’s Woman’s Hour on February 28, Ashley revealed,

“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 went on to say,

“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.”
