Bridgerton’s Jessica Madsen is making headlines as she opens up about her identity and love life in a heartfelt post celebrating the beginning of Pride Month. The actress, known for her role as Cressida Cowper in the Netflix series, took to Instagram on June 1 to share her message of love and pride.

In her post, Madsen shared artwork honoring the LGBTQ+ community, along with a historic photo from a march following the Stonewall Riots. She also posted a selfie wearing a colorful tie-dyed T-shirt, rainbow rhinestones on her face, and a bucket hat with the words ‘LOVE SUPREME.’

Accompanying the images, Madsen wrote, ‘I’m in love with a woman, loud about it and proud about it!’ She included hashtags such as #pride, #pridemonth, #loveislove, and #gaypride.

Support poured in from her Bridgerton co-stars, with Nicola Coughlan, Jonathan Bailey, Hannah Dodd, Joanna Bobin, and Julia Quinn all expressing their love and encouragement for Madsen’s post.

This isn’t the first time Madsen has been open about her sexuality. In June 2023, she shared a post about bisexuality, emphasizing the importance of visibility and acceptance.

Addressing the criticism she receives for her character on Bridgerton, Madsen humorously remarked, ‘The internet is wild.’ She shared that she often receives interesting comments and DMs expressing strong feelings towards her character, Cressida, but she takes it all in stride.

As Pride Month kicks off, Madsen’s message of love, acceptance, and pride serves as a reminder of the importance of being true to oneself and celebrating all forms of love.
