A Deep Dive Into ‘Victoria’ Stars Jenna Coleman & Tom Hughes’ Real-Life Relationship
What To Know
- Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes played Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in Victoria.
- The show, which last dropped episodes in 2019, has had a resurgence in popularity since it recently hit Netflix.
- The two stars began a real-life relationship during filming.
We’re all for Victoria‘s resurgence on Netflix, being romance and period drama lovers. Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) and Prince Albert’s (Tom Hughes) love story plays out over three seasons, ending on quite the cliffhanger if you haven’t done a deep dive on the history of their real-life counterparts. (The episode aired in 2019, but Victoria was technically never cancelled. Season 4 is possible.)
The show’s potential return aside, Victoria’s addition to Netflix has drawn in a number of fans, as evidenced by its appearance in the streamer’s Top 10. If you count yourselves among them, you might not be aware that Victoria and Albert’s onscreen chemistry translated into a real-life relationship between Coleman and Hughes. Naturally, Swooon thinks Victoria‘s comeback is a fitting occasion to revisit the actors’ history.
Are Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes still together?
Brace yourself, Victoria and Albert stans: Coleman and Hughes are no longer together. In fact, they broke up about a year after the Season 3 finale dropped.
Why did Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes break up?
The news of the actors’ split was first reported by The Sun, which had a source that claimed, “They are trying to salvage a friendship, but obviously these are trying times, and it’s not easy. Both Tom and Jenna are terribly sad, but the relationship ran its course. There was no third party involved.
Their split seems to have been amicable, according to the outlet. “Tom actually helped Jenna with her new place, and they’ve met up this week to talk things through and keep everything as friendly and civil as possible,” the source said, and the outlet provided photos to back up the claim.
How long were Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes together?
Though their romance didn’t begin until they were on the Victoria set in 2016, it wasn’t the first time that Coleman and Hughes had met. They both starred in the BBC show Dancing On The Edge, which premiered in 2013. They ended their relationship in 2020.
The duo never spoke publicly about their split, in line with their private approach during their relationship. When asked about their romance, Coleman only said, according to The Mirror, “I think it’s been very wise not to speak about it.”
