Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley Spotted Kissing Mystery Man at U.S. Open

September 2, 2025

New York City - Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley, 30, made headlines Monday when she was photographed sharing a kiss with an unidentified gentleman while attending the U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, Queens. The public display of affection occurred during Jannik Sinner’s match against Alexander Bublik, where Ashley and her companion were seen cuddling courtside before sealing the outing with a kiss.

For the occasion, Ashley opted for a relaxed, chic look: a light brown sweatshirt featuring a playful bear graphic paired with distressed jeans and coordinating sneakers. Her mysterious date complemented the scene in black dress trousers, a white button-up shirt, and a navy sweater draped casually over his shoulders, topped off with tinted sunglasses and a gold chain necklace.

This outing follows recent sightings of Ashley walking through New York City with actor Joshua Jackson on August 9, sparking speculation about her romantic life. Prior to these public appearances, Ashley confirmed her breakup from businessman Constantin “Tino” Klein in January 2025 and described herself as entering a “single era” focused on personal growth.

Speculation about the identity of Ashley’s latest companion has already begun. IMDb reports that the man affectionately kissed at the Open could be businessman Tim Sykes, co-owner and managing partner of Ruby’s Café in New York City. Neither Ashley nor Sykes has confirmed the rumor, but social media interest continues to mount following the viral photos.

The U.S. Open appearance marks Ashley’s most talked-about public outing since promoting her Prime Video film Picture This earlier this year, and fans are eager for any further developments in her personal life.
