In 1995, Helen Fielding distilled an entire generation of young, female, Londoners into Bridget Jones. 25 years on, Tinder found the real Bridget Jones and worked with her to document her dating experiences in 'Bridget Jones' Tinder Diaries'.

"When the team at Pitch said they'd found a real, young, woman living in London who's name was Bridget Jones, I knew I needed to do a deep dive on what life looks like for all the 'real life' Bridget Jones' out there. After stalking every woman I know (and every woman they know) on socials I built a vision of who Bridget was, and it all boiled down to one thing - in 2025 Bridget Jones is messy. When this was presented back to Tinder the team landed us Lola Young's viral track, 'Messy' to underpin the film. From there we had a blast finding and updating all of those little details that make the original Bridget Jones' movie so iconic. From the red, penguin PJs, to the pink top, grey skirt, and black boots that featured on the film's original posters. We even found a location where we could line the chimney breast up perfectly with the one in the original film! Needless to say this was a dream project to work on."

Having launched on Tinder and Universal Films' social channels, 'Bridget Jones' Tinder Diaries' have gone on wrack up over 10 million views across TikTok and Instagram.
