After disappearing at the beginning of Bridgerton<\/em><\/a> season 3, Kate and Anthony returned with some exciting news.<\/p>\n

During the conclusion to the third season, which started streaming on Thursday, June 13, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey<\/strong><\/a>) and Kate (Simone Ashley<\/strong><\/a>) returned home after enjoying a second honeymoon. The couple immediately confirmed that Kate was expecting their first child<\/a>, which made Anthony extremely excited.<\/p>\n

Kate and Anthony didn\u2019t immediately tell his family, however,since they didn\u2019t want to overshadow the news of his brother Colin\u2019s (Luke Newton<\/strong>) engagement to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan<\/strong>). They eventually found a chance to share with everyone that they were expanding their family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the time season 3 came to an end, Kate and Anthony were looking forward to being parents as they made plans to travel to her native India before she gave birth. The epilogue, which took place at least nine months into the future, didn\u2019t offer an update on Kate and Anthony, but going by Julia Quinn<\/strong>\u2019s book series the couple welcomed their baby, son Edmund (named in honor of Anthony\u2019s late father).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a massive fan of Kanthony. There\u2019s so much to enjoy for both of them now, and we explore that in season 3. They\u2019ve overcome a lot,\u201d he told W magazine<\/em> in December 2023. \u201c[We\u2019re] talking about the need for communication in a romance, and that study of how they communicate and how little they did communicate until the very end [of season 2].\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cSo, now, we can see them completely celebrate each other for who they are. There are really lovely conversations about heritage and familial roles, and once you meet someone who understands you fully, having sacrificed so much for the families as they both have, how exciting [it is] to make decisions that might change the course for them [as a couple].\u201d<\/p>\n
