“I think it’s gonna be a surprise to me what lands.”
Simone Ashley opened up about the qualities she hopes to find in a future partner, revealing she is manifesting a relationship built on simplicity, friendship and shared ambition.
The Bridgerton star opened up about her love life during an appearance on Netflix’s On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.
During the interview, the 31-year-old shared the qualities she hopes to find in a future relationship and reflected on how self-belief has shaped both her personal life and career.
Simone revealed: “[I’m] manifesting love itself to be really simple, and I think that is someone I can experience joy with, someone that I can be myself with, someone that I can learn something from and learn about myself from.
“I really want to meet someone that believes in my dreams and has dreams of their own where they’re not afraid to step in and just go for it, you know?”
Clarifying what she meant by “dreams”, Simone continued:
“It’s much simpler than that.
“I think it’s just finding someone that doesn’t see it so complicated to do life with me, where it’s just you have an amazing connection, an amazing friendship, and just is curious and excited to give that a go.”
Although she knows the qualities she values in a partner, Simone admitted she has no expectations about who she will eventually meet.
She said: “I think it’s gonna be a surprise to me what lands.”
The actress also discussed how she approaches relationships when she is with someone special, explaining that spending time with loved ones is something she genuinely enjoys.
Simone said: “It’s a joy to make time for my friends.
“It’s a joy to make time for my partner.
“It’s a joy to organise things and plan around my work schedule.
“I’m the type of person when I wrap up work, I’m so excited to go home to my partner and see them, share my day, spend time with them.”

She acknowledged that many people may feel the same but believes the ability to invest in relationships comes from having the emotional capacity to do so.
“To have that joy and excitement, to make time and make memories and all of those things, it comes from a place of capacity.
“And I think I really believe in myself and I believe I deserve that kind of love.
“I believe I deserve that kind of life.
“And that self-belief has led me to where I am in my career.”
“And I think maybe I’ve had experiences where maybe there’s a mismatch in that capacity.
“I think it comes from a place of self-belief. If you believe that you deserve all those things, that happiness, that joy, you will make it happen.”
