With the success of the show, it’s no surprise a “Bridgerton” spoof made the list of sketches. The British-Zimbabwean actor portrayed his character Duke Simon Hastings alongside “SNL” star Chloe Fineman, who played Daphne Bridgerton. The spoof couple were attempting to act out a love scene, but they had to meet with two “intimacy coordinators” first:

Bad Bunny was tapped as the musical guest:

Fans were anxious to see Rege because ratings for the long-running comedy show went up. According to NBC, the show increased its ratings from last week, climbing from a 4.1 household rating when Regina King hosted on Feb. 13 to a 4.2 household live and same-day rating with Page. That means that 4.2% of households with a TV watched the program in the 44 metered local markets measured by Nielsen. The show also posted a 2.0 household rating in the age 18-49 demographic in the 25 markets with local people meters.

NBC also said that for the first time in its 46-season history, "SNL" was ranked No. 1 among all comedies this week on both broadcast and cable in the adults 18-49 demographic and total viewers so far.

Shutting down rumors that he’s dating his co-star Chloe, Rege was spotted all hugged up in London recently with a woman named Emily Brown, who is part-time soccer player in the United Kingdom as well as a part-time freelance copywriter. Peep their coupledom shots HERE.

The “Birdgerton” heartthrob has also landed a leading role in Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons, joining Chris Pine, Justice Smith and Michelle Rodriguez.
