Is Wicked's Jonathan Bailey married? Star's love life and past relationships explained
Bridgerton heartthrob Jonathan Bailey has captivated audiences once more as he reprises a belovedcharacter in Wicked: For Good.
The highly anticipated second chapter of the Wicked film adaptation has hit cinemas this month, drawing from the phenomenally successful stage musical.
The story unfolds in the era preceding The Wizard of Oz, chronicling Elphaba's unexpected bond with Glinda and the circumstances that lead to the familiar tale of The Wizard of Oz.
Whilst not technically a direct prequel, numerous fans will recognise connections and find answers to lingering questions.
Featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in leading roles, the production has achieved remarkable success, once again showcasing Bridgerton favourite Lord Anthony Bridgerton - Jonathan Bailey.
According to People, the Bridgerton icon has been crowned the sexiest man alive of 2025. But is he currently romantically involved, and if so, with whom? reports the Mirror.
In 2023, Jonathan Bailey acknowledged he was in a relationship whilst choosing to maintain his partner's anonymity. Speaking to The Standard, he revealed he was involved with a "lovely man", describing his romantic status as "not secret but private".
He remains unmarried. Previously, the actor was allegedly linked to performer James Ellis, though this connection was never officially acknowledged.
Bailey has maintained discretion regarding all his romantic entanglements, whilst keeping his social media focused on his professional endeavours rather than his private affairs.
During the filming of Jurassic World Rebirth, there was a flurry of speculation surrounding Scarlett Johansson as she and her co-star were spotted sharing a kiss on the red carpet and displaying their close bond.
However, these rumours were swiftly quashed when the pair confirmed that their relationship was strictly platonic.
Jonathan portrays Fiyero, a Winkie Prince. Initially, he is Glinda's love interest but later forms a romantic attachment with Elphaba.
After Elphaba casts a spell to protect him, which goes awry, he transforms into a scarecrow. He then assists Elphaba in faking her death, and they both flee Oz to live happily ever after.
Fans have been thrilled with the casting decision, with one Reddit user exclaiming: "So princely! Gorgeous! Masterful! Regal! Intense!".
Another wrote: "I mean, I'm a fan of Bridgeton, but he was a REVELATION in this role. I might not survive As Long As You're Mine in Part 2."
A third commented: "I am OB-SESSED with Johnathan Bailey in 'Dancing Through Life'."
Indeed, Jonathan Bailey possesses singing talent and has a background in musical theatre. At just seven years old, he began his stage career, taking on the roles of Tiny Tim and young Scrooge in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of A Christmas Carol.
He later graced the stage in major West End productions such as American Psycho The Musical, Certain Young Men, and the Olivier Award-winning Company.
