Simone Ashley Spotted With Soho Communications Executive Jay Jammal

Simone Ashley has sparked romance speculation after being spotted holding hands with Jay Jammal during a casual outing in London.

The Bridgerton actress was photographed with Jammal in Notting Hill on Sunday, August 23, as the pair walked through the neighbourhood with dogs. Their relaxed afternoon outing included the two holding hands as they made their way around West London, prompting interest in the identity of the man accompanying Ashley.

Jammal has been identified as a Senior Account Executive at Soho Communications, where he works across the luxury and hospitality sector. He joined the London-based agency in 2023 after moving from Denver, Colorado, and studied Strategic Communications at the University of Colorado Boulder. His professional background includes work with brands and organisations across hospitality, luxury, recruitment and communications.

Jammal keeps his Instagram account private, although Ashley currently follows him. His professional life is considerably more public, with his work at Soho Communications placing him within London’s luxury communications scene.

The outing has naturally raised questions about whether Ashley has a new relationship, particularly given the pair’s decision to hold hands in public. However, there has been no confirmation from either Ashley or Jammal about the nature of their relationship or how long they have known each other.

Ashley has previously been linked to businessman Tim Sykes after the pair were photographed kissing at the US Open last summer. Before that, she was in a relationship with Tino Klein, with the actress later confirming that they had gone their separate ways.

For now, Ashley and Jammal’s London outing is all that has been publicly established. The photographs show two people spending an afternoon together and holding hands, but neither has publicly described the relationship as romantic.
