Fans were introduced to the quirky character played by Renée Zellweger in 2001 with Bridget Jones’s Diary. In the first rom-com, Bridget is having a hard time finding love as she works at a London publishing company.

When her parents attempt to set their daughter up with the son of a family friend named Mark (Colin Firth), he initially claims he wants nothing to do with her. Upon hearing his confession, Bridget invests in a diary and vows to turn her life around.

After making a few self-improvements, Bridget earns the affection of Mark and her boss, Daniel, played by Hugh Grant and thetrio find themselves entangled in a love triangle.

While the first film ended with Bridget and Mark getting together, the couple continue to have their fair share of ups and downs in subsequent sequels Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones’s Baby.

A fourth movie titled Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy was confirmed in April 2024 and was released the following February.
