A love match may be rare in the world of Bridgerton, but that hasn’t stopped the young members of the ton from hoping that they will be lucky enough to be one of the few to marry a person who stirs their heart so deeply that nothing else matters. The Bridgerton family has been extremely lucky thus far, with Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and now Colin (Luke Newton) finding such partners. But with so much love in the air, that begs the question – which couple has the most chemistry?

In my humble opinion, this honor lies with Kate (Simone Ashley) and Anthony, Kanthony if you will. The chemistry that Bailey and Ashley have on screen, even when their characters seem to hate each other, is electric. Nobody toes the line between loathing and yearning quite like they do. They convey so much emotion to each other, and the audience, within a single look.

The pair is perfect together – from their friendly horse race to the moment she calms him in the garden after a panic attack to every single time their hands touch or even graze each other. Few things encompass the wonderful tension of an enemies-to-lovers romance more than when Anthony tells her “You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires.” 

Kanthony has surprisingly had the least amount of screen time as a couple thus far – a user on Reddit puts them at about 87 minutes total compared to Daphne and Simon’s (Regé-Jean Page) 113 minutes. Even though this chart doesn’t factor in the second half of season 3, we can confirm that in addition to the 54 minutes that Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin spend together from season 1 to the end of season 3 part 1, their time together in the second half of the season surpasses Kate and Anthony’s. But despite being the couple with the least amount of screen time, Kate and Anthony’s chemistry is hard to beat.

This isn’t to say that the other couples lack any chemistry. Simon shook both Daphne and the internet in season 1 with the words “I burn for you,” a simple, yet
