Period dramas have been a trending topic in recent years, with streaming services fiercely competing to debut their own versions of the genre and achieve high rankings on worldwide charts. Prime Video has joined the war with the release of “My Lady Jane” on June 27, which quickly achieved instant success.
The eight-episode series revolves around the life of Lady Jane Grey, the “Nine Days’ Queen” who claimed the throne of England and Ireland from July 10 to July 19, 1553. Instead of focusing on the tragic end of her story, the show takes a light-hearted approach, exploring the exotic adventures of the historical character.

Needless to say, they were not disappointed. Bader and Bluemel put so much effort into their characterizations that their romance seems extremely real.
With such compelling acting skills, rumors began to swirl, especially as the actors praised each other in interviews about theproduction. They have even posted scenes from the set and photoshoots where they appear very affectionate.
However, much like the off-screen romance between the stars of “Maxton Hall,” it’s all just for the show. While it’s not clear whether Emily Bader is currently in a relationship, Bluemel has been steadily dating comedian Mary Beth Barone since 2021, with Barone frequently sharing photos of their moments together.
For fans who loved this on-screen couple, there’s no need to worry. We will likely continue to see their love story unfold in the extremely probable second season of “My Lady Jane.” This couple can’t stay quiet and will return to reclaim what has been taken from them.
