The stars of "Bridgerton," Netflix’s Regency-era drama rife with romance and heartbreak, offered some dating and relationship advice for fans looking for love.

Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton, who play Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, dominate the third season’s storyline with their friends-to-lovers story arc.

"We can’t do anything," Coughlan quipped after noting that it’s often a "reflex" for her to interact with Newton in a friendly manner because they’ve known each other and worked together for many years.

Newton said that the speculation points to fans’ investment in their characters’ relationship. "It’s really sweet, it’s so lovely that there’s that much thought into it and how much they ship Colin and Pen," he said. "It’s a beautiful thing."

"Don’t compromise yourself," she said. "Wait for the right person because you’re worth it." Newton said he "agreed with all of the above."

"It’s very hopeful, and it makes you believe.
