The Derry Girls actress finds it "really sweet" that fans of the period drama believe she's dating her on-screen love interest, Colin Bridgerton, in real life.
Speaking to entertainment site Extra, the Galway actress said: "We think it's really sweet, I think because we truly love each other...
"He is a really special person in my life, and I got to do this experience with him.
"I'll never get to do something like this again, on this scale... It's so nice having such a lovely friend that I can do all this with." she added.
In season three of the regency drama, Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton's relationship is the main focus. Penelope had initially given up on her long-held crush on Bridgerton, after hearing his disparaging words about her last season.
Colin offers to assist her as she seeks a husband who can provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, an anonymous letter writer who shares secrets of "the ton".
The haut ton, also known as the ton, were the fashionable elite of English high society in the Georgian period from 1714 to 1837.
Matters will be complicated further as the rift between Penelope and her former best friend Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie, continues.
At the end of season two Eloise discovered Penelope's secret identity as the elusive Lady Whistledown.
Bridgerton became the most-watched show on Netflix when it launched on Christmas Day 2020, thanks to its risqué scenes and opulent costumes and sets.
The first season followed the development of a steamy romance between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings (Rege-Jean Page).
The second season centred around the family's eldest son Viscount Anthony Bridgerton getting caught in a love triangle with Kate Sharma, played by Simone Ashley, and her sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran).
Bridgerton season three is to arrive in two parts, with part one premiering on Friday 16 May and part two on 13 June.
