Bridgerton star Simone Ashley put her new romance on display as she held hands with account executive Jay Jammal during a London outing on Aug. 23.
Simone Ashley has found her own diamond of the season.
The Bridgerton star debuted her romance with Soho Communications senior account executive Jay Jammal as the couple held hands during a walk through London on Aug. 23.
The duo kept it casual for the outing, with Ashley wearing a short yellow dress paired with a patterned bandana and white purse. Meanwhile, Jammal—who joined Soho Communications in 2023 and focuses on the luxury and hospitality sector, according to the company’s website—opted for blue jeans, a dark blue T-shirt and a baseball cap.
And proving their bond is paw-fect, Ashley and Jammal were also seen walking her dogs around Notting Hill on their date.
E! News has reached out to Ashley's reps for comment but has not heard back.
Prior to her burgeoning romance with Jammal, the Devil Wears Prada 2 actress dated Constantin “Tino” Klein from 2023 to 2025 after they’d first crossed paths at the Grand Prix in Monaco in 2022.
At the time of their split, Ashley had declared that she did not “wanna waste away” her single era.
"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,” she explained to People in 2025. “And I think that's hard to find."
However, the 31-year-old noted she was "not in a rush" when it came to finding a new partner, adding, "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."
"I've got such an incredible year ahead and I'm up to such exciting things," she said. "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."
The breakup also came at an interesting time for Ashley, since she was in the midst of promoting her film Picture This when she confirmed the split.
“It’s kind of ironic I’m promoting a rom-com,” she said on an episode of BBC’s Woman Hour podcast at the time, “and as of January this year, I’ve been entering my single era.”
“I’m focusing on me and focusing on my work and my inner confidence,” Ashley shared. “It feels like a different chapter from when Bridgerton came out, where things were just so crazy.”
