Rachel Zegler and Nathan Louis-Fernand: A New Love Blooming in London
RACHEL ZEGLER SPOTTED GETTING COZY WITH NEW BEAU NATHAN LOUIS-FERNAND IN LONDON!
The Snow White star, 24, and her new backing dancer beau, 27, were seen strolling hand-in-hand through Primrose Hill in London on Wednesday, leaving us all wondering if they're the real deal!
Rachel looked absolutely stunning in a bold red Adidas top and denim shorts combo that showcased her fit physique, while Nathan flexed his muscles in a sleeveless white vest top. The chemistry between them was palpable as they took their adorable pup Lenny for a walk.
But what's even more juicy is that sources close to the couple claim they met during rehearsals for Jamie Lloyd's adaptation of Evita, where Rachel stars as Eva Peron! Nathan, who has been working as a stripper on the Magic Mike Live show (yes, you read that right!), has apparently won her heart with his charming personality and passion for musical theatre.
The 27-year-old dancer has been open about his close-knit family relationships, preferring yoga sessions over wild nights out. It's clear he's found a kindred spirit in Rachel, who shares his love for the arts. The pair have even spent weekends away together with their Evita co-stars, cementing their bond.
Rachel's social media posts have also hinted at her growing feelings for Nathan. Last month, she shared a slew of Instagram snaps from a countryside getaway, gushing about her "darling man" in the caption! Their romance comes just eight months after rumors swirled that she and Josh Andrés Rivera had broken up.
For those who may be new to the drama, Rachel and Josh (her co-star from West Side Story) were rumored to have parted ways back in November 2024. Fans noticed Rachel editing Josh out of her Instagram photos, sparking speculation about their relationship status. Although they never confirmed a split, it's clear that Rachel has moved on with Nathan.
Their whirlwind romance began during Evita rehearsals, where Nathan was drawn to Rachel's passion for the musical. As one source dished, "Nathan and Rachel bonded over their shared love of theatre. They'd often talk about their favorite shows and musicals, and he was impressed by her dedication to the craft." Little did we know that this connection would blossom into a full-blown romance!
Rachel's relationship with Josh Andrés Rivera has been making headlines for years, ever since they met on the set of West Side Story in 2021. They began dating after Rachel won the role of Maria at just 16, and Josh played Chino. The pair made their Instagram debut as a couple in February 2022, but their romance seemed to fizzle out over time.
In fact, Rachel even posted a sweet Valentine's Day selfie with Josh back in 2022, captioning it "Committing valen-crimes." But by the looks of things now, she's clearly moved on! When asked about her relationship status last year, Rachel coyly replied, "I'm just focusing on my career right now. I don't really talk about my personal life."
As for Josh Andrés Rivera, he's been keeping a low profile since their breakup rumors surfaced. However, we do know that the pair worked together again on The Hunger Games prequel, with Rachel starring as Lucy Gray Baird and Josh playing Sejanus Plinth.
Rachel's romance with Nathan Louis-Fernand is still in its early stages, but it seems like they're already smitten! With their love of theatre and commitment to their craft, we have a feeling this couple is here to stay. Stay tuned for more updates on these two!
