Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Rege-Jean Page aka Simon Basset the Duke of Hastings is officially no longer single. In fact, he is rumoured to have been in a relationship with copywriter and part-time footballer Emily Brown since at least as far back as February this year. If you're baffled as to how you could possibly have missed all this (don't worry, we did too) the good news is we've taken a deep dive into the couple's romantic history, from the rumours to the rare public appearances, here's everything we know about Rege-Jean Page and Emily Brown's relationship, starting with the latest update.

September 1, 2021:

Rege-Jean and Emily made a very rare public appearance at the 2021 GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, where they were pictured holding hands as they left the venue together. Despite the fact they've reportedly been in a relationship since the start of the year, this is a genuinely unusual move for the couple who are not often seen out together. However, even these two couldn't keep their cuteness hidden; showing up in coordinated looks, with his dark emerald suit matched to her clutch bag.

February 2021

While we were busy romanticising the idea of Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean being an item, he was just quietly in a relationship with London-based writer Emily Brown.

Reports of their romance first emerged just weeks after Bridgerton landed on Netflix, when pictures of them hugging near their North London home were published online. If that wasn't enough, Entertainment Tonight ran a story a few days later saying that a source had confirmed the relationship. Although neither Emily nor Rege-Jean had said anything about their romance at the time.

While we don't actually know how long these two have been a couple, or even known each other, we do know that things are pretty serious. So, when Rege-Jean starts cropping up in the news thanks to those James Bond rumours people start asking about his slightly secret long-term girlfriend Emily.

It doesn't take long for people to find Emily on LinkedIn of all places, since Emily - who is perhaps wiser than us all - doesn't have social media.

People quickly discover that Emily is a copywriter, who has worked with brands such as Uber, Nike and Converse and she's also a part time footballer for Football Beyond Borders in South West London.

All in, she already seems like a pretty cool gal.
