Bridgerton fans simply could not cope after Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page had a sweet reunion at the 2022 Met Gala.
The actors became household names last year after starring in the Netflix series, in which they played the Duke and Duchess of Hastings.
Now it seems they’re still best buds, despite Regé-Jean not returning to the hit show for its second season.
Their Bridgerton fame is now getting its stars into all the best parties, with Phoebe and Regé-Jean cosied up at the exclusive Tom Ford event following the Met Ball last Monday.
Earlier in the evening, the two walked the red carpet separately, posing up a storm at the high-fashion event, for which this year’s theme was Gilded Glamour.
They joined the likes of Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk for the glam event, which is usually held on the first Monday in May, but was rescheduled in 2021 due to Covid.
