Bridgerton star Simone Ashley was spotted kissing an unidentified man at the US Open in Queens, New York, just a week after rumours linked her to actor Joshua Jackson.
That brief swirl of gossip about her and Joshua? Yeah, consider it squashed. Ashley’s public display with this unknown guy, hand-holding, a kiss, the whole nine yards, left fans puzzled and social media buzzing, trying to figure out who he is.

Simone Ashley Spotted Kissing A Mystery Man At The US Open
On September 1, during the Sinner vs. Bublik match, Ashley was seated with comedian Zakir Khan and actor Kal Penn. Cameras lingered on their group, but it didn’t take long for people to zero in on the mystery man next to her.
A report from Just Jared claims the man is restaurateur Tim Sykes, a name familiar in New York’s food circuit for places like Ruby’s Cafe and Dudley’s. Still, nobody’s confirmed it for sure.
His Instagram is private, but he’s reportedly in the Wish You Were Here Group, which runs restaurants in LA and Vegas too.
Ashley’s love life has been a topic of interest lately. Back in March, she confirmed her breakup with longtime boyfriend Constantin “Tino” Klein. In an interview with People, she said she’s not rushing into anything new.
