She played lovelorn opera star Siena Russo in Netflix’s Bridgerton, after her doomed affair with a Viscount in regency London.

But in real life, Sabrina Bartlett, 33, is enjoying true romance, as she is now engaged to her boyfriend, Australian businessman Lachie Stewart.

The actress shared a photo on social media of herself and Lachie at the premiere of David Attenborough’s new environmental film, Ocean, earlier this week.

Resplendent in an aquamarine gown, eagle eyed fans spotted the flash of a spectacular solitaire diamond on Sabrina’s left hand.

Now, she has announced her engagement on Instagram, with a photo of herself and her beau on holiday in Australia as she flashed her ring. 

She captioned the update: ‘Lach’d in’ followed by a ring emoji, amid a slew of congratulatory comments.

No doubt the London-born star is delighted to have found the one, after her relationship with actor Tom Greaves ended in 2021 and prompted her to move back into her parents’ seaside home in Kent.

The couple who were together for three years, shared a flat together in East London, but broke up after Tom, best known for his role in the 2018 Peter Rabbit film, had reportedly ‘moved on.’

At the time, a source told the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind that they had been, ‘very much in love’ but added: ‘He is ten years older. Things just didn’t work out. She is living with her parents while Tom has moved on.’

Sabrina first came to public attention after she signed up to play Mariette Larkin, the role that launched film star Catherine Zeta Jones’s career, in a remake of nostalgic ITV drama, The Darling Buds of May based on the 1958 H.E Bates novel.

Speaking ahead of the series launch in 2022, the actress gushed about the love fest on set, she said: ‘I felt very at home with everybody, sort of like falling down the rabbit hole and having a family overnight.

‘After such a hard year for everybody, I think even being on set at all was such a privilege.’

But it seems that such happy days were fleeting, after Sabrina, who starred alongside Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan as Ma and Pop Larkin, quit the show after one series, following an onset disagreement.

At the time, her publicist told the Daily Mail that the star was leaving due to ‘scheduling issues’ but sources claim that her decision was driven by a clash with her co-star.

Indeed, the disagreement, which was described as ‘sensitive’ also sparked her move to part company from top agent Independent Talent Group, who had secured the career-boosting ITV contract.

Sabrina was said to have made a complaint about her co-star Tok Stephen’s behaviour in a scenario that gave the network a ‘big headache’ after her grievances were not upheld following an investigation.

She then decided to quit before the second series, leaving Tok to continue in his role as the Larkins lodger, Cedric, Charley Charlton, portrayed by veteran actor Philip Franks in the original.

Sabrina was eventually replaced by Emmerdale actress Joelle Rae, who continued in the role of Mariette where she had left off.

But in early 2023 it was announced that ITV had plumped to axe the show once and for all, which insiders attribute to an active strategy to move on from the controversy surrounding Sabrina’s exit.

The series downfall put an end to ITV’s big plan to recapture the magic of the original drama The Darling buds of May, which was a major hit in the 90s, starring Sir David Jason and Oscar winning actress, Catherine Zeta Jones.

Indeed the reboot also failed to cast its spell on the viewers, after just 2.9 tuned in for the second series compared to the first episode which aired in 2021 with 4.8 million.

Having previously enjoyed roles in the ITV drama Victoria and Netflix’s Bridgerton; she can now be seen in drama I Jack Wright on Sky.
