Bridgerton star Jessica Madsen has revealed that she's in love with a woman in an emotional post in honour of Pride month.

Over the weekend (Jun 2), Jessica Madsen took to Instagram to celebrate Pride month. The actress, who is best known for playing the role of Cressida Cowper in Bridgerton, shared a series of photos on her page including a 'Happy Pride Month' graphic, an image of an LGBTQ+ protest and a video of her wearing the pride flag colours jewelled under her eyes.

Not only that but Jessica, who is bisexual, also updated fans on her relationship status with the post. She captioned the carousel: "In Love with a woman, loud about it and proud about it!" and included the hashtags: "#pride #pridemonth #loveislove #gaypride".

And it wasn't long before Jessica's fans, friends and Bridgerton co-stars rushed to her comments to show her their love and support. Nicola Coughlan (Penelope) and Jonathan Bailey (Anthony) both left a series of heart emojis under Jessica's post.

Meanwhile, Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca in Bridgerton season 3, wrote, "Love youuuuuu" and Jessica's Bridgerton mother Joanna Bobin (Lady Cowper) added: "Go baby girl! Love you".

Jessica also shared a group of images with the words "bi af", "girls love girls and boys and love is not a choice" and "bisexuals are not confused".

Happy Pride Jessica!
