And we can’t forget this one 🥹💛 this isn’t pr either, these are two people madly in love

RE: The ask about the moment that got us hooked.

This moment still has me in a chokehold because don’t tell me this is PR, or being “just friends.” I rebuke these excuses! 🙅🏻‍♀️

And this second pic, just solidified it for me because again… not PR for the show. He showed up on her last day of filming “just because.” Yes, because he is a man in love.

And this final picture because although it has been 8 months since it was shared, this is what I always go back to when things get chaotic! Oh, and of course, we can never forget that ring! 💍🥹♥️

😭😭😭

Luke & Nicola and The Multiplicity of Morsels:

Last updated: (6/02/25) Added #98 and #99 - a Tik Tok clip from 2023 by a fan who posted the picture of Luke & Nic from after she watched him perform in the play "The Shape of Things " in June of 2023 with a little commentary with the photo. Nicola added it to her favorites and saved it too. Interesting, right?...😏🤭🥰👀 And #99 - a post from June 2024 on the NetflixUK account pretty much hinting at Luk & Nic and how their relationship has gone from reel to REAL...😉🥰

98. Back in the summer of 2023, after Nic went to go see Luke perform in his play, "The Shape of Things", they took a photo together that said, just by the vibe alone - COUPLE. Well, a fan posted the pic with a little commentary on Tik Tok and Nicola Coughlan herself added it to her favorites and SAVED it to her TT. Interesting clip to save isn't it?...😏🤭🥰👀

99. In June of 2024, Luke & Nic had finished the tour for promoting their season as the leads of Bridgerton AND NetflixUK had posted two interesting pics with captions that definitely alluded to the co-star's relationship going from reel to REAL cuz they didn't use Polin pics, they used Luke & Nic pictures and by using the caption "they're so Polin coded fr" implies they also went from friends to lovers and happliy ever after...🤵🏻💍👰🏼‍♀️👶 They definitely had been KNOWN because the tour was done. They also knew that it was a life-changing tour...a true love match, for real...😏🥰🥹😍👀

This video that Nic reposted is so loud 💛

“.. it’s this secret world, that exist right there, in public unnoticed that no one else knows about.”

I find it interesting that out of the entirety of this page, she has only liked this one post 👀

This entire page has drawings of Polin but for her to only like this one is just really interesting to me. We have all seen the beautiful wedding scene of Polin and how REAL it felt. Nic wanting to wait for Luke to see her in her dress like brides do for their REAL weddings. Then Luke’s reaction during the actual scene in the episode where his breath is taken away. Tom posting that bts video of another reaction of Luke being blown away with his jaw on the floor and saying “amazing”. Also don’t forget that time Nic said in an interview that she playfully said “I do” after the cameras were cut when Colin asks Pen to marry him 🤭

Season 3 filming started sometime in July of 2022 and this art was posted Dec of 2022 so they likely would’ve already filmed the wedding scene.

Nicola has been seen liking a lot of wedding related IG posts so our thoughts on her ring and the actual meaning of how she’s wearing it just makes it feel all the more real that they are married and enjoying their married life together 🥰💍

I’ve always believed it was Lukey in that picture and there’s just no denying it now 🤭

[xoladybella]

💍💛

MORSELS UPDATE: Added #94 - A photo of Nic wearing her Claddagh ring while in Cork for the Fastnet Film Festival and very much what looks like the Eternity ring on her fingers. Claddagh on the left, in MARRIED position. And in my opinion, it's LOUD because she's not even being subtle about it. She knows her picture is being taken lots, but she's not hiding the fact that her Claddagh is back on where it belongs...🥰💍👀

This and her ring are what cement my feet on this ship

[xoladybella]

Couple you say? 😌

[xoladybella]

Yet again, Netflix posting a Lukola picture under the disguise of Polin 🤭

Polin is a friends to lovers story so is this their way of telling us that they themselves have the same love story? 🥰💛

[xoladybella]

I noticed these when they happened too. They’re always telling on themselves, whether it’s purposeful breadcrumbs or by accident but either way we’ll always catch it 🙂‍↕️

Peanut Butter & Reality TV

In a weekend full of noise, two quiet clues caught my attention — and for those of us still tracking the deeper narrative, they read like whispered reminders from Luke and Nicola themselves.

Nicola’s Gelato Confession During her BAFTA red carpet interviews, Nicola casually revealed her favourite ice cream flavour: peanut butter chocolate gelato from Hackney Gelato. Innocent? Maybe. But long-time Lukolas will remember: peanut butter is Luke’s favourite thing. During the Australia leg of the World Tour, Nicola told the story of making him a peanut butter and apple crumble, and the way Luke groaned in memory still echoes in my head.

Luke’s Viewing Habits Meanwhile, in a separate BAFTA interview, Luke shared that he’s been binge-watching Married at First Sight. Nicola has been more than vocal about her love for The Real Housewives and Love Island, and MAFS — reality TV with just the right amount of chaos. (And let's not forget how Love Island's finale was playing on an iPad at The Ritz during his own pasta bed-party after the BAFTA-Film after-party back on February 16th 😜) It’s a soft signal, maybe. But paired with Nicola’s gelato nod? It starts to feel like a pattern: shared tastes, shared references, and subtle reminders of what links them.

Or perhaps purposeful breadcrumbs?!

If you’re looking for resonance, there it is. In gelato and guilty pleasures. In casual mentions that mean far more than they let on.

When the public performance is loud, the truth often speaks in whispers.

And this weekend, we heard it — softly, sweetly, and just clearly enough to remember where to keep looking.

Aaniin Xxx

P.S. Adding this a day after publishing this post… just learned that Nicola mentioned she’s obsessed with MAFS Australia while being interviewed at the BAFTAs Nominees Party a few weeks back 🩵 Here’s a link to X

Another crumb being released subtly. I remember this interviewer saying “I’m not entirely convinced that the real-life people sitting in front of me are not actually in love” because it was insane! It was another key moment that solidified what I was seeing between them. I would have absolutely remembered this response by Nic but this was not released when it was first announced… this was definitely edited out and is now subtly edited back in as if they expect us to NOT notice. Also, for Nic to say it in a “playful” manner is just so obvious 🙂‍↕️

I’m counting this as another crumb for something bigger that’s coming 🤭

[xoladybella]

They’re always telling on themselves 🤭

[xoladybella]

It has been 1 year….

Today we got posts on Netflix, Bridgerton, Shonda Rimes and Shondaland as well as X, TT and cast members celebrating the anniversary.

The BTS posted was Nic and Luke practicing for a scene.

They can be in a crowded room and still be in there own bubble

Nic shared the BTS and reposted the first kiss on TT

The real of 20 photos on Netflix IG are some of the Pics Nic took on her vintage camera.

Luke wasn’t on SM today so no content update or likes by him. But he gave us the wedding blooper reel on Polin Day in April so he has more than demonstrated to fans that he cares, and you never know he might post for the Part 2 season 3 anniversary.

What i absolutely love and makes complete sense is we are slowly drip fed these behind the scenes crumbs, and you can clearly see in all of them the energy that Lukola give. It radiates, so this is probably also why we don’t get too much too soon. 🥹💛

Stuck in this restaurant forever😭

Just one clip of actors Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton rehearsing their dance for the shoot, and I’m already back at the asylum.

Well, the break from these two was good until it lasted 💀

Like it’s crazy it takes so little bc we can all SEE IT
