I was already hardcore crushing on Jonathan Bailey (and Simone Ashley) after season 2 of Bridgerton, but I experienced an entirely new sensation while watching this beautiful British icon flirt, flip, and dance in Wicked. True love, I think it’s called. Has there ever been a more charming human? If I was a student at Shiz (the movie version), my major would just be chasing after Fiyero, I fear. Much like Cynthia Erivo was born to belt “Defying Gravity” while FLYING and Ariana Grande was born to high kick to “Popular” and make us giggle nonstop, Jonathan was born to portray Oz’s resident heartthrob. If you haven’t already bought your Wicked ticket, you need to get on that, immediately.

As I left the movie theater, I felt depressed about the fact that Jonathan and I are not dating. Then, I started wondering who he has dated/is dating… So, here’s Jonathan Bailey’s full dating history! You’re welcome.

Jonathan Bailey Ex-Boyfriends

In 2019, there were rumors that Jonathan was dating actor James Ellis, and those rumors were pretty much confirmed at the Olivier Awards that year. When Jonathon won for his role in the West End musical, Company, he shared a kiss with James before heading to the stage to accept his award. The Bridgerton star opened up about the importance of LGBTQ+ representation in his acceptance speech. “You know, at a time where acknowledging the very existence of LGBTQ people in our schools is being questioned, we have been able to, as a company, show a lovely and celebratory snapshot of gay love,” Jonathan reflected to the award show audience. “That LGBTQ people really aren’t that different. We’re not that different. We are just as anxious, and we’re just as flawed and desperate to fall in love as everyone else.” He thanked the cast and dedicated his award to them.

Although Jonathan did have this one adorable PDA moment with James, he mostly keeps his love life private. In December 2023, the actor revealed to The Evening Standard that he was seeing a “lovely man,” but didn’t offer more details. “It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he explained. “Having a private life is, for me, completely critical. I don’t know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.” You do you, king, and just know literally all of us are in love with you.
