In Julia Quinn's book "The Duke and I," which was the first to inspire the "Bridgerton" series, the Duke and Duchess of Hastings give birth to five children.
Much like her mother, Daphne follows family tradition and names her five children in alphabetical order. Starting with the couple's first child Amelia, the Hastings give birth to two more daughters, Belinda and Caroline, and then two sons, David and Edward.
Simon ultimately realizes that he wants to live for himself instead of his father. Four years later, Daphne gives birth to their fourth child and first son, David.
During season two, Daphne casually reveals baby Basset's first name - Augie - which proves they stuck with Simon's request to follow the Bridgerton family tradition of alphabetizing kids' names.
"Daphne obviously gave birth at the end of season one, so you will meet the bubba in season two, and it's the prettiest bubba I've ever seen in my life," she said, adding that he's meant to be around 6 months old in the season. "We were so lucky, they were so well-behaved.
At first, Simon refuses to have children with Daphne because of the difficult relationship he has with his own father. Eventually, Daphne gets him to see that he doesn't have to repeat the mistakes of his father. Daphne and Simon have five children together: Amelia, Belinda, Caroline, David, and Edward.
Do Simon and Daphne get a divorce? Bridgerton then ends with the pair of them welcoming their first child, a boy who is one day due to become the next Duke of Hastings. After this rocky start to their marriage, the books reveal that Daphne and Simon stay together for good.
By the end of season one, Daphne and Simon have reconciled their differences. Their "happily ever after" ending features the the birth of a new baby, August (nicknamed Auggie). In season two, Daphne helps Anthony through his marriage pursuits.
Violet and her daughter, Hyacinth, survived, but Violet was in a deep state of sadness. She lamented how she wished that she had died in childbirth so she could be with Edmund. She said that Edmund was her air, and without him, there was no air.
At the Bridgerton ending, Simon and Daphne welcome their first child. This means that even though the viewers did not get to see Daphne being clearly pregnant, she still got pregnant and welcomed her child with Simon towards the ending of season 1.
She's had a period. She cries in her mother's arms. As she sobs, Simon's eyes fill up as he watches the concert. It's a gutting moment for Daphne, and it could potentially mean that her and Simon's marriage will only be in the name.
We know that Simon Basset aka The Duke went to university with Daphne's brother Anthony, so is a few years older than her. Reports say he is 29, while actor Regé-Jean Page was born in 1990 so is 32 in real life.
Eloise does not become pregnant in Quinn's second book, but she does become a stepmum in the fifth book titled To Sir Phillip, With Love, where she is considered a “spinster” because she is unmarried at the age of 28.
The fact that Colin has previously declared that he will never marry her, another. But slowly, over time, the third eldest Bridgerton brother realizes that Penelope is indeed his one and only. By the end of the series, the pair share four children.
In Happily Ever After, we learn that Amanda Crane has married Charles Farraday, and we meet Sir Philip and Eloise's three youngsters: Penelope, Georgiana, and Frederick.
Eventually, Simon makes peace with his past and the two reconcile their relationship. The season ends with Daphne giving birth to their first child, a baby boy.
In author Julia Quinn's Bridgerton book series, Kate and Anthony welcome four children: Edmund, Miles, Charlotte and Mary. They also have a dog named Newton. Ashley confirmed in March that she'll be returning for the show's upcoming third season.
Francesca Bridgerton, played by Ruby Stokes, is the only Bridgerton sibling who is inexplicably missing from most of Bridgerton. Here's why. Bridgerton seasons 1 and 2 regularly featured all of the Bridgerton siblings except Francesca, who is noticeably absent — here's why.
As the Sharmas approach an episode full of awkwardness after Anthony and Edwina's wedding, Kate's wardrobe shifts back to a more structured look. Her pieces are perfectly complementary, and we see her wearing two of her go-to shades - purple and turquoise - perhaps because she is seeking confidence and comfort.
The duke also jokes, after the birth of their first child in the season's final (and very affecting) scene, that he “believes” the child's name “must begin with the letter A,” as a nod to the first names of the eight Bridgerton children following alphabetic symmetry.
The Netflix series starts off with experiencing her first ever season which only happens when you turn 21. So this means there is an eight-year age gap between Daphne and Simon. While this may seem like a big age difference, this was very common in the 19th Century.
After Daphne and Simon are married, their relationship isn't without its problems. This is mostly because she still wants children while the duke refuses to have them — thanks to the vow he made to his abusive, dying father to never have children so that the bloodline ends with him.
Daphne decides to get on top while having sex with Simon shortly after learning that he lied to her about being unable to have children.
Regé explained himself that he quit because it felt 'like a limited series' to him, however rumours have since emerged that he left because he didn't like what was planned for his character in future. He said after his exit was announced: “It's a one-season arc.
The plot revolves around Simon's choice not to tell Daphne that he has vowed not to have children.
