Bridgerton star quietly enjoys winter getaway in Australia with actor boyfriend
The Irish actress, 38, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram of her June spent down under.
'Got to take a break for the first time in what felt like a really long time and had a magic month,' wrote Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington in Netflix's period drama.
'Feeling very sad to leave but very grateful to have had such a beautiful trip.'
Coughlan went on to thank Tourism Australia for sponsoring two of her hotels, including Sequoia in Adelaide, where the star said she discovered her talent for jenga and love of outdoor jacuzzis, as well as Capella in Sydney, which she described as being 'in the middle of such a deeply cool city.'
Capping off her post with some humour, and showing off her knowledge of coveted Australian-made TV productions, Coughlan wrote, 'But most importantly I got to visit Australia's most impressive cultural monument, the MAFS Apartment Building'.
That 'monument' is more commonly known as the Skye Suites, where the Married At First Sight cast live (read: wreak havoc) for three months during filming of the Channel 9 televised experiment.
While she didn't share any photos of her younger boyfriend, Coughlan was joined by 25-year-old actor Jake Dunn, who was in Australia filming Netflix's upcoming series My Brilliant Career, based on the beloved novel by Miles Franklin.
Dunn shared his own photos of his stay in Australia two weeks ago, writing, 'My Brilliant Career coming soon to @netflix.'
After they were first spotted together in January during an outing in London, UK media reported the couple had been dating since at least August last year, when they were spotted together at a London music festival, and were believed to be set up by a mutual friend, fellow actor Louisa Harland.
Harland, 31, starred as Orla alongside Coughlan in the much-loved Irish comedy series Derry Girls, which ran for three seasons.
Dunn is best known for his role in the Disney+ series Renegade Nell, which was axed after just one season last year.
Coughlan was previously linked to her Bridgerton co-star Luke Newton, however she dismissed the speculation in an interview with Time last year.
'A lot of people really want me to marry Luke,' she admitted.
'We have this gorgeous friendship. We have such a love for one another and this experience that I'll never have with someone else again.
'Isn't it gorgeous that a man and woman can have that sort of relationship with one another?'

Oh Too Good becomes social media sensation ahead of Winter Championship Final bid at Flemington
Oh Too Good could inspire a rebrand of the Winx Sports Bar in Bali on Saturday, with victory in the Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington. One-horse trainer Kevin Daffy, wife Christine and daughters Jade and Amber will be trackside while Rick Bayliss, a long-time friend and part-owner of Oh Too Good, will be cheering from afar. 'He'll be watching it from the Winx (Sports) Bar in Bali (Seminyak) … hopefully we might be able to rename it to the Oh Too Good Bar tomorrow,' Daffy said. 'The 16 of them (Bayliss family) are going to be cheering her on from there.' Oh Too Good is $2.80 favourite to win the Listed Winter Championship Series Final from Jimmy The Bear ($6), Cafe Millenium ($6.50) and Yellow Sam ($9.50). Daffy, 'Australia's smallest trainer', was compelled to target the Winter Championship after Oh Too Good won brilliantly last start at Flemington. Jimmy The Bear, who finished second, has won since. 'I guess you can't get much smaller than one horse,' Daffy laughed. 'It's a bit of a novelty for some people … they can't believe it really, it is quite unique, quite special.' Oh Too Good has earned $569,450 with five wins and five minor places from 11 starts. The five-year-old, affectionately known as 'GiGi' at home, has also become a social media sensation, thanks to Daffy's eldest daughter, Jade. 'Jade started a bit of social media with her this week, and it went nuts. She's quite clever,' Daffy said. 'She came up with a couple cute little videos on Instagram and TikTok … one had 50,000 views and 5000 likes, with people from all over the world commenting.' @ohtoogoodracehorse Meet GiGi (Oh Too Good) 🐎✨ She's fiery, unapologetic and has that 'main character energy' that lights up a track! 🩷💛 #horseracing #australianhorseracing #winterracing #horsetraining #horses #horse #narratortrend #narrator #narration #fy #fypage #ohtoogood #horsesoftiktok #horseriding #horsetok #horselover #racing #thoroughbred #trending #narration #viral #viraltiktok #viralvideo #viralvideos ♬ original sound - Oh Too Good The viral 72-second clip on the Ohtoogoodracehorse TikTok account celebrates Daffy's dedication to the 'diva' with behind the scenes footage and a witty script. 'GiGi only likes two things,' the video voiceover states. 'Winning (and) Kevin … everyone else, tolerated at best.' Daffy is rarely too far from the mare. 'No one else touches this horse, ever, that's why I never let her out of my sight,' Daffy said. 'I do hire a strapper to come with me race day but that's more to go and get the saddle, run the colours up, and help do a few little things I need done. 'She frets if I get too far away from her … she's getting better. When she first went to the races I couldn't walk across from the stall to the fence to talk to anybody, she wouldn't be happy. 'She does at least let me do that a bit now.' • Despite saddling the favourite, Daffy has respect for the entire field on Saturday. 'No matter what the market says, they're all good horses,' Daffy said. 'I'd be foolish to think I'd be going to a Listed race at Flemington with confidence of winning … I'm happy I'm going there with a horse in the best shape, as happy and as healthy as I could have her. 'With some luck in running, she'll definitely be right in the finish and hopefully winning.' He also praised jockey Ben Allen for his commitment to stick with Oh Too Good. Allen brought forward a suspension, had to forgo bulk rides to do so, and all but made the 54kg cut. 'He will be riding her a little bit over the 54kg … that will depend on how he is tomorrow.' Daffy said. 'She could potentially be carrying 55kg, worst case. He's been so committed to wanting to ride her, I didn't ask him to do that because I know how difficult it is for jockeys but he wanted to do it. 'Set himself the task to get down to ride … I really appreciate that and hopefully she can repay him.'

Inquiry into Transport Canberra's MyWay+ continues as functionality issues persist
Seven months since the ACT government launched its MyWay+ ticketing system, functionality issues persist and an inquiry has raised questions about its rollout. An ACT parliamentary committee, tasked with looking into the procurement and delivery of the public transport ticketing system, was due to report by the last sitting day of June 2025. But a day earlier, committee chair Jo Clay announced that deadline had been extended due to "the considerable volume of evidence". "Including reports of significant usability issues experienced by MyWay+ users, and concerns relating to accessibility and cybersecurity," she said. "The committee is of the view that in order to properly discharge its responsibility ... tabling a report by the last sitting day of June would not be possible." At that stage, 109 submissions had been published and the committee had held five hearings and called multiple witnesses, including government officials, ministers, contractors and commuters. But, like many frustrated Canberrans, the committee had more questions than answers — as was heard this week. On launch, some MyWay+ customers were unable to tap on and off with their debit or credit cards, while others reported issues with the app, website and QR code system. Transport Minister Chris Steel told the inquiry yesterday that most launch-day issues have been fixed. "While a number of issues have been resolved quickly, others have taken more time," he said. "In hindsight, certainly some of the elements were not ready, as ready as they could have been. That's clear. But a lot of those were rectified fairly soon after launch in November." But multiple users told ABC Radio Canberra the MyWay+ readers still didn't work, resulting in "free trips". "MyWay+ is the best! I've had endless free travel! I couldn't ask for more!" one listener texted in. "Another free trip to work today due to a non-working MyWay+ reader," said another. Another user said, "MyWay minus just another in a history of failures." Commuters have also reported problems with the system's live tracking functionality, and being charged on Fare Free Fridays. "When [will] destination information boards be connected at interchanges?" asked another. In March, the inquiry heard that the personal details of public transport users could be accessed on the internet before and after the MyWay+ launch. This week's inquiry questioned whether community testing on the system was adequate, and suggested the community should have been told that it was a "minimum viable product" so expectations weren't as high on day one. "We could have done better in terms of communicating about this as a transition, rather than expecting everything to go right on day one — clearly that didn't happen," Mr Steel conceded. But Mr Steel insisted that going ahead with the November launch was still the best approach. "A slightly later commencement probably would've provided a few options there, but I still think a decision around the hard switchover minimised confusion for the community around the change from MyWay to MyWay+," he said. "It's not just about the revenue loss, it's about customer behaviour. If you have a long period of time when no fares are collected, and then you switch on a system 15 months later, then people are not in the habit of paying for public transport and there is a big behavioural change that's required." MyWay+ executive Mark White said Transport Canberra was prepared for last year's launch. "More than 6.7 million journeys have been used, using debit cards, credit cards." Another of the issues raised in the inquiry was around the contract Transport Canberra signed with NEC Australia. The inquiry heard that delivery milestones were pushed back after the contract had been signed. The contract was meant to be completed by June 30, 2025, but it hasn't been. "We are currently engaged in contract discussions with the provider, as to why it's not complete and what penalties we may be applying," Mr White said. Yet to be completed is the disability compliance aspect of the contract. "There is no mechanism within the contract for us to actually penalise [breaches] of the Disability and Discrimination Act," Mr White said, adding that there were "other pieces of functionality" that remained incomplete. "There are other components, more in the functional back-end side of the system. So, that's our data systems and data warehouse," he said. "Off the top of my head, there are other functionalities that we would be providing to the community as well as our operators; things that are enhancements to manage our transport systems, as well as to manage our account-based ticketing." The deadline for the inquiry committee to report back to the Assembly has not been announced yet.
