Jessica Madsen is one of the stars of the third series of "Bridgerton." The actress made an important post on Instagram, admitting that she is currently in a happy relationship with a woman.

Jessica Madsen again took advantage of Pride Month to announce something significant to her fans. In June 2023, the "Bridgerton" star revealed in a short post that she is bisexual.

A year later, at the same time, the actress posted again with colourful photos. "In Love with a woman, loud about it and proud about it!" - Madsen emphasised.

Jessica Madsen's coming out

June has long been called Pride Month, a significant time for LGBT+ people. The choice of this month is not accidental. It commemorates the events of 1969 that took place in New York. At that time, clashes occurred between LGBT+ individuals and police officers at the Stonewall Inn.

Pride Month is meant to promote equality and increase the dignity and visibility of LGBT+ people. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the "Bridgerton" star shared her feelings at this time.

32-year-old Jessica Madsen portrays Cressida Cowper in Shonda Rhimes' popular series. This character has brought the actress significant recognition and affection to many users of the popular streaming platform.

In addition to declaring her love for a woman, the series star added several colourful photos and a picture likely commemorating one of the first pride parades that took to the streets of New York in the past century.

The post garnered numerous comments from fans and people from the "Bridgerton" production. On Instagram, you'll see remarks from Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca Bridgerton in the series, and Jonathan Bailey, Francesca's brother Anthony. Words of support were also written by Penelope herself, portrayed by Nicola Coughlan.
