Regé-Jean Page Wife, Girlfriend, Emily Brown

Guess the on-screen womanizer wasn’t so much of a “womanizer” in real life. In fact, Regé-Jean might be the complete opposite of what he portrayed in Bridgerton.
During their joint Access Hollywood interview in Jan 2021, Regé-Jean and Phoebe addressed the dating rumors. At the time, the actor said— “I think everything you need to know is on camera. That’s why we presented it so beautifully for you. All the sparks that flew off of the beautiful scripts that we were handed, and so I think that the sparky scripted material is more than enough.”
A month later, British tabloids outed Emily Brown as the girlfriend of Regé-Jean Page. Photographers snapped the couple outside their $1.1 million London home.
30 years old as of Feb 2021, Emily Brown is a freelance copywriter and a part-time soccer player. Before Regé-Jean, she dated a soccer coach named Jack Badu.
