Who Does Cressida Cowper Marry in Bridgerton Season 3? Her Story Veers from Canon
So far, Cressida Cowper has not married anyone, despite her interest in Lord Debling in Bridgerton season 3, at least in the first four episodes when she tried to find a good match before her father could intervene and force her to marry one of his elderly acquaintances.
Lord Debling is a good man with a good background, which initially did not appeal to Cressida because of their differences.
The gentleman enjoys all things natural, including vegetation and creatures, which Cressida dislikes.
Due to the mounting pressure from her family, Cressida chose to focus her attention on Lord Debling, hoping to get his attention before anyone else.
From reading a book about birds to pretending to like nature, Cressida had a lot of tricks up her sleeves for Lord Debling. At least she was not like Penelope, who told Lord Debling about her fascination with grass.
Thanks to her new friend, Eloise, Cressida was ahead of her rivals except for Penelope, who had Lord Debling’s favor, though they don’t get together in the fourth episode due to Colin’s intervention.
Who knows? Perhaps in part 2 of the third season, we could see Cressida marrying Lord Debling before he goes away for three years.

Who Does Cressida Cowper Marry in the Bridgerton Books?
Bridgerton season 3 deviated significantly from Julia Quinn's work, particularly Cressida Cowper's fate in Romancing Mister Bridgerton, which serves as the basis for season 3 after The Viscount Who Loved Me, the source material for season 2.
In Romancing Mister Bridgerton, set many years after The Viscount Who Loved Me, Cressida Cowper is married to a noble named Lord Twombley, who has yet to make an appearance in the show.
Unfortunately, Cressida became a widow following Lord Twombley’s early death in the series, resulting in her not-so-lucky life.
She became a spinster, which, as we all know in Bridgerton, is the worst thing for women her age.
