After being spotted with an unidentified man at the US Open in New York, Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley has made headlines once more.
Fans were curious about her love life after rumours surfaced a few weeks ago that she was dating actor Joshua Jackson.
Simone was seated next to actor Kal Penn and comedian Zakir Khan during the match. It didn't take long for viewers to notice the man sitting directly next to Simone, even though the cameras initially showed the three of them having fun during the game.
Soon after, the actress and the man were seen holding hands and kissing, which instantly stirred the social media.
