The Sunday Times revealed a huge shocker when they published excerpts from the third installment "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" by Helen Fielding.
Fans have waited 14 years for the book and were shocked, upset and downright pissed when the British newspaper revealed that Marc Darcy is dead leaving Bridget as a widow to raise their two kids, Mabel and Billy.
In the published excerpts fans learned that Darcy died five years earlier and Bridget is trying to move on with her love life and is now dating a 30-year-old boy toy named Roxster who she met on twitter.
In one excerpt Jones stresses over whether she should take her young beau to a party.
"Crucially, it might put Roxster off me, to be surrounded by old people at a sixtieth party, and make some sort of completely unnecessary point about how old I am though of course I am MUCH younger than Talitha. And frankly, I refuse to believe how old I actually am," she writes.
In the last book, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," fans saw the beloved singleton get engaged to Darcy and prepare for the next chapter of her life as a married woman.
"Bridget and Darcy did get married, and they had two children. But they did not live happily ever after. The carefree singleton is now a 51-year-old single mother, battling nits and the school run, and rediscovering romance with a toy boy while obsessing about her Twitter followers as well as weight and wrinkles," The Sunday Times writes.
The first book, "Bridget Jones's Diary" was published in 1996. All the books were written in the form of a personal diary and chronicled the life of Bridget, a 30-something single woman living in London as she tried to make sense of life and love.
The first two books were turned into successful movies starring Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Colin Firth as Mark Darcy and Hugh Grant as the womanizing Daniel Cleaver. If fans are wondering what happened to Darcy they will have to wait until the book is released in October to find out.
