5 Bridgerton Non-Canon Ships Which Are More Common Than You Think

One thing you can be sure of every time you turn on Bridgerton is that you'll be showered with romance. If there was ever a place where love was in the air, it would be early 1800s Mayfair.

But with so many characters, it's hard to keep the viewer's curious mind from wandering off the canon and creating its own stories. After all, Julia Quinn's book series and the show, even combined, can't cover all the romantic tropes out there.

Here are 5 Bridgerton ships you will never find in canon, but should definitely explore while waiting for season 3.

Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton

Although Penelope will soon be the center of attention in her love story with Colin Bridgerton, it is his sister who occupies her mind most of the time. And if all the interactions these two girls have already had on screen aren't enough to satisfy your romance cravings, just imagine how great their "best friends turned lovers" dynamic would work.

Colin Bridgerton and Philip Crane

Speaking of Colin, he could have Ser Philip Crane all to himself in this pairing. Although the two have only shared a few scenes, that could never stop the fandom from imagining a wonderful story for them. Besides, the genuine interest they have shown in each other's interests is a straight path to a blossoming romance.

Daphne Bridgerton and Prince Friedrich

While some viewers were already invested in the story of Daphne and Simon and were rooting for them to get together as soon as possible, others didn't find his mysterious, brooding presence so attractive. In fact, there was a perfect suitor who would make Daphne a princess and give her the attention she deserved. Too bad it never worked out.

Eloise Bridgerton and Kate Sharma

Remember how excited Eloise was when she heard that Kate was moving in? Well, that's just one of many indicators of how good a couple they would make. Both intelligent, ambitious, and powerful, they would also make a sarcastic duo that would give the Bridgerton men the roast they deserve.

Anthony Bridgerton and Simon Basset

Simon Basset, also known as the spoon-licking Duke of Hastings, had a very strong presence in season 1. So strong, in fact, that his charms could easily have worked not only on the impressionable Daphne Bridgerton, but also on his long-time friend Anthony. That's the kind of forbidden love that would make Bridgerton even spicier.
