Transcript From Podcast: Keeping Up with Celebrities; Timestamp 13:05:

Host: So you and Colin have been keeping it pretty low key … should we be expecting a ring any on your finger any time soon?

Marina Thompson: Ugh - no! You have one or two pregnancy scares and suddenly a relationship is over. He's been cut off!

Host: I'm so sorry. That must have been difficult for you to deal with and then to have him end the relationship over.

Marina Thompson: Oh, he didn't end it. I did. He wanted to stay with me but he was just too clingy - I needed a break from that man.

Host: Oh, um, right. Let's take a quick break to hear from our sponsor. Nuum is a . . .

ABCDEFGH Chat:

Eloise: That bitch! How dare she say that about you, Colin!

Gregory: What are you talking about?

Eloise: LINK

Benedict: Oh no, she didn't!

Anthony: Do you want me to get a defamation suit going? God the paps are atrocious. Did you see someone leaked our Bahamas photos?

Hyacinth: Oh, that was me.

Daphne: Whyyyyyyy? And that photo of me in the pink bikini? That was just plain rude.

Benedict: Well, I looked great.

Gregory: Chill bro

Daphne: Whatever

Daphne: Seriously, Colin - are you alright?

Anthony: I have the lawyer on speed dial.

Eloise: Why do you have Kate on speed dial? 0.0

Anthony: No reason …

Benedict: Colin, do you want me to come over?

Benedict: I can be there in 30.

Gregory: I can be there in 20!

Francesca: Can you all stop blowing up my phone? (Colin - I can send Michael over. You can have one of your 'man chats' he thinks I don't know about)

Hyacinth: I can go!

Daphne: If anyone should go it should be me.

Eloise: Fam! I already sent Penelope over 10 minutes ago.

Hyacinth: 0.0

Gregory: 0.0

Benedict: 0.0

iMessage between Eloise Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington:

Eloise: Did you know there's fanfiction about Colin and Marina?

Penelope: No?

Penelope: Why do you know that?

Eloise: No reason.

Eloise: On a scale of Hyacinth leaking Bahamas photos to your mother's upcoming tell-all book, how bad would it be if I wrote a fanfiction about what Marina actually did to Colin?

Penelope: !?

Penelope Noooo

Penelope: My mother's book!

Eloise: I'm not gon' do it. I'm just thinking about it.

Penelope: Now is not the time for viral sounds. Don't do it.

Eloise: Ugh fine

Penelope: There's never a time that calls for revenge fanfiction.

Eloise: What about after the ending of Supernatural?

Penelope: There's ONE time that calls for revenge fanfiction.

Eloise: Love you

Penelope: Love you - and don't do it

Eloise: I won't

HelloWalkofFame's Tumblr text Post:

Okay, guys buckle in. It's time to do a deep dive into Colin Bridgerton and Marina Thompson.

See more …

February 2019: Colin and Marina meat at NY Fashion Wrap Party (photo attached)

April 2019: Colin and Marina spotted grabbing dinner in Italy. Soft launch photos on Instagram (screenshots instead of links since the photos were taken down)

June 2019: Colin and Marina confirm relationship to PEOPLE (LINK)

July - November 2019: Colin and Marina spotted together multiple times (4 red carpet photos, 2 paparazzi photos (one of them making out), 1 beach side photo)

December 2019: Marina joins the Bridgerton Christmas celebration, but she isn't in the matching family pajamas - a late addition perhaps? (Photo of the Bridgerton family around an elaborate Christmas tree, Marina is not wearing the red plaid pajamas the rest of the family has on).

January 2020: Colin joins the Featherington New Year's Day Party (photo of Colin and Marina dressed to the nines with silly plastic 2020 glasses on).

February - May 2020: Colin and Marina continue to be seen together (LINK to ET article titled: Marina and Colin's Summer of Love, including a breakdown of 7 photos of the couple)

June 2020: This is where I think the first pregnancy scare occurred. This is when Colin had that "bad skiing accident" - though came away with no scars. Plus, there was that period of time where both Colin and Marina were seen at the hospital, but no reports clarified who was hospitalized. The next 24 hours were a lawless land on the Internet (IYKYK). Then came that sketchy story about a skiing incident.

July 2020 - July 2021: A year passes and we are radio silent on the Colin and Marina front. Colin and Marina are "protecting their peace" and we get one photo from the paparazzi during this year-long period (photo of Colin and Marina in a car).

August 2021: Colin and Marina attend a charity ball for Colin's mom (2 photos of the red carpet), reaffirming they are still a couple.

September 2021 - December 2021: Crumbs … I have nothing from this time frame. I have to assume this is when the second pregnancy scare is (if there was a second pregnancy scare (or even a first to begin with)). There's just so much we don't know about this timeframe. No pictures, no social posts, nothing.

Late January 2022: Marina joins the Keeping Up with Celebrities and records her infamous tear down of Colin (LINK)

February 2022: Colin confirms they're broken up in a tweet asking for privacy (Screenshot of tweet)

So, you'd think it would all be over. But, let's revisit some of the early photos. Recognize any of them? This random redhead is in the background of so many of these! So, who is the redhead? Penelope Featherington, cousin to Marina Thompson and childhood best friend of Eloise Bridgerton. Her mom is set to come out with a tell-all book in a few months! If Colin is anything like his brother Gregory … we may have a new scandal on our hands.

4 Stars:

At times witty and clever, this book is well-written. Too bad it reads like she is a martyr who never did anything bad. That third daughter is interesting …

1 Star:

Justice for Penelope! This book is a monstrosity - I can't imagine writing these things about any children, let alone my own! These poor kids.

3.5 Stars:

Fine book - one read was enough though.

Celebrityconspiracies' TikTok:

Subtitles: "Okay stay with me here. Remember all the drama with Colin Bridgerton and Marina Thompson? Check out this redhead in the background of the couple's photos. It's Penelope Featherington. Now look at Colin Bridgerton's Instagram circa 2013. Notice anything? It's her! Penelope and Colin must be good friends. This goes beyond any relationship they may have had because of her cousin and his sister. Look at him smiling in these photos. He recently was … Part 2 for more."

Celebrityconspiracies' TikTok:

Subtitles: "Part 2: He recently was asked about not smiling in photos any more. He said the more questions he gets about not smiling, the less he wants to smile. So, why has he been spotted on Penelope's Instagram stories smiling it up for the camera? They must be in love, even if they haven't admitted it yet."

Penelope: Alright then. Let me grab a piece of cake quickly and I'll be out of your way.

Colin: You could never be in my way.
