Chat with usTop 5 Bridgerton Couples Ranked Ahead of the New Season
Netflix’s Bridgerton has been a hit since its first season premiered in 2020. Each season, a new couple takes center stage, and a new love story unfolds. With Season 4 quickly approaching (premiering January 28), we’re ranking the past seasons’ couples from okay to swoon-worthy. Here are the Top 5 Bridgerton Couples Ranked.
5 Daphne & Simon
Yes, Daphne and Simon were the OG couple, the love story that put Bridgerton’s on-screen adaptation on the map for romance fans everywhere. And while we love a fake dating trope as much as the next person, their relationship was far from perfect.
They never lacked passion or chemistry, but communication was a major weak spot. Simon had a lot of emotional healing to do, and Daphne often filled in the gaps with assumptions instead of honest conversations. Their love story was intense and dramatic, but not always emotionally safe, which is why for us they land at number five.
4 Penelope & Colin
Penelope and Colin’s relationship was the ultimate slow burn. We love a love story built on real friendship before romance. The challenge with this pairing was timing and self-awareness. Penelope waited for Colin a little too long while both of them were still figuring out who they were.
Colin was running from his true self, and we wish he had seen Penelope for the prize she was from the very beginning. At the same time, Penelope was running from herself, too. She was caught in a lie, convinced she was destined to remain a wallflower, when the truth is she was always meant to shine.
Their story is a reminder that finding yourself first matters. The better you know who you are, the more ready you are for the right kind of love when it comes.
3 Violet & Edmund
Yes, Violet and Edmund did not get their own season, but without their love story, there would be no Bridgerton to begin with. Their relationship is the foundation of the entire series.
From what we learned in the show, Violet and Edmund shared a deep, respectful, and joyful marriage. Edmund adored Violet, treated her as an equal, and created a home defined by warmth and security. His sudden death was devastating, yet Violet’s story does not end in despair. Instead, we see how she carries that love forward. She honors Edmund through the way she parents, the values she instills in her children, and the belief she continues to hold in true love.
Their story reminds us that all love stories are worth telling, even the ones that end in ways we would never choose.

2 Queen Charlotte & King George
Yes, their relationship started rocky, and it was certainly unique. But it might be the most beautiful love story in the entire series. Getting a deeper look into the legendary queen’s love story, while fictional, helped us understand the depth of strength Charlotte truly carried.
This love story is what commitment is all about. When you promise forever to someone, you choose to stay through sickness and in health. Charlotte’s decision to stand by George, even when it was painful and isolating, is a powerful picture of what true love looks like.
Their story reminds us that lasting love requires longevity, commitment, and sacrifice. It is not always easy, but it is those very choices that create a love capable of lasting a lifetime.
1 Anthony & Kate
Oh, Anthony and Kate. No one does yearning quite like the two of you. When two stubborn people finally meet their match, no matter how hard they fight it, true love has a way of pulling them together.
While their relationship began messily, with both Anthony and Kate running from their true feelings, it thankfully ended well. Each of them had to let go of their pride, adapt, and open up. They had to become vulnerable enough to admit what they truly wanted, not just from each other, but from life.
That willingness to grow is what makes their love story so powerful.

Bridgerton may be full of dramatic glances and sweeping romance, but at its core, it still reflects something real: love works best when it’s rooted in honesty, growth, and mutual respect. As we head into Season 4, we can’t wait to see Benedict Bridgerton steal our hearts next.
