So, we went a little extra mile and snooped around. Turns out the actors were so good that they had us fooled into believing they were the same age as their reel life characters. So, here are the real ages of the Bridgerton cast : 

1. Phoebe Dynevor as Daphne Bridgerton

However, Dynevor is 25-years-old. 

2. Regé-Jean Page as Simon Basset

But Page in real life is just 2 years older. He is 31. 

3. Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton

Eloise, Daphne’s younger sister was 17-years-old on the show.  

However, Claudia is actually 31-years-old and plays a teenager on the show.

Bailey, on the other hand is just two years older. He is 32. 

5. Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington
