Rachel Zegler<\/a> couldn’t contain her smile as she cosied up to new boyfriend\u00a0Nathan Fernand during a dog walk in Primrose Hill, London on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress, 24, looked loved-up with her new backing dancer partner, who works on her West End musical Evita, as they wandered the streets in the capital city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rachel beamed as she grabbed Nathan’s arm as they walked their pet pooch, ahead of taking to the stage at the Palladium in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple looked in good spirits as Nathan, who was previously a stripper on the London-based stage show, Magic Mike Live, wrapped his arm around the actress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Snow White star showed off her incredible figure as she went braless under a plunging white and black polka dot halterneck crop top.<\/p>\n

A week ago the Disney star shared a slew of pictures to her Instagram of a trip away to the countryside and she referred to Nathan as ‘the darling man’.<\/p>\n

The Snow White star has been staying in London while she stars as Eva Peron in the West End musical.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her new romance comes eight months after rumours swirled she had split from her boyfriend of three years, Josh Andr\u00e9s Rivera – though the pair never confirmed they had broken up.<\/p>\n

Rumours the West Side Story co-stars had parted ways began to circulate in November 2024 after fans noticed Rachel had edited Josh out of photos on her Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

The couple began dating in 2021, after meeting on the West Side Story remake – for which she won the role of Maria in an open audition aged just 16. Rivera played the character of Chino.<\/p>\n

Then in February 2022, Rachel hard launched their relationship on Instagram, but the post has since been deleted.<\/p>\n

The actors appeared to make their romance Instagram official on Valentine’s Day that year when Zegler shared a black-and-white selfie photo of the couple on Instagram.<\/p>\n

‘Committing valen-crimes,’ captioned Zegler, who went on to post video that showed Rivera feeding her during a romantic dinner: ‘Happy love day from me n mine.’<\/p>\n

And in 2023, Zegler wished Rivera a happy birthday in May by gushing about him in the caption of a video that showed them staring into each other’s eyes.<\/p>\n

‘You are everything I love about this world wrapped into one incredible man. Happy birthday, Joshua. In this life, I like just doing laundry and taxes with you.’<\/p>\n

After their West Side Story collaboration, the pair then featured together again on the Hunger Games prequel.<\/p>\n

Zegler took on the lead role of Lucy Gray Baird in the 2023 film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, with Josh playing Sejanus Plinth, mentor of the male tribute of District 2.<\/p>\n

‘Never been prouder of someone in my life lemme tell you,’ Zegler wrote on her Instagram Story when she shared the news of her boyfriend being hired for the prequel.<\/p>\n

‘Having a familiar face on any set, I think any young actor can attest, is the biggest form of comfort,’ the actress told People at the time of her ex-boyfriend joining her on the film.<\/p>\n

‘And also as [Rivera’s] girlfriend, his friend, and his coworker, it’s amazing to see the trajectory of his career, and to witness his rise to stardom. I love him so much,’ she added.<\/p>\n

‘I feel really lucky,’ Josh chimed in. ‘It was a really great source of comfort for me to have her with me so far away from home.<\/p>\n

‘We were in a different country. We got to explore that country together. It was absolutely lovely. I feel very fortunate.’<\/p>\n

Speaking to Elle in 2022 about Rivera, Zegler said: ‘There’s always this deep understanding of what I go through.<\/p>\n

‘Since [his experience was] on a different scale, he\u2019s able to bring me back to earth and tell me when it really doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

‘Because he\u2019s removed from it to a certain degree, he\u2019s able to just snap me out of it, and tell me to stop checking my phone, or remind me of what actually matters, and remind me to be present, and to not focus on the opinions of 3,000 faceless strangers on the internet.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rachel Zegler couldn’t contain her smile as she cosied up to new boyfriend\u00a0Nathan Fernand during a dog walk…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,92,77,257,80186,813,16,15,106626],"class_list":{"0":"post-284592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-rachel-zegler","13":"tag-tvshowbiz","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-west-side-story"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114901305889066889","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
