It looks like Rachel Zegler has a new boyfriend! The 24-year-old shocked fans on July 7 when photos of her went viral, packing on the PDA with a man who has now been identified as Nathan Louis-Fernand.
The Snow White star was photographed getting cozy and looking smitten with Louis-Fernand at the BST Hyde Park festival on July 6. They soaked in the festival atmosphere as they watched Sabrina Carpenter headline the festival.

According to Us Weekly, Zegler “quietly split” from Rivera late last year. Their last public appearance seems to be in October 2024 at the Variety New York Party.

© Dave BenettLouis-Fernand is a background dancer in Evita, so it’s probably safe to say that Zegler met him while on set. The 27-year-old is a backup dancer and is no stranger to the stage. Before Evita, he danced in UK productions of Hamilton, Romeo & Juliet, The Lion King, and Magic Mike Live.
But this may be his biggest spotlight yet. The London-based actor and dancer has just over 3800 followers at the time of this publication, but if he continues to make headlines with Zegler, that number is sure to keep growing.
His page is full of achievements, photoshoots, and a lot of abs. The artist is ripped.
Zegler had previously praised having a ‘familiar face” on set when she was with Rivera. “Having a familiar face on any set, I think any young actor can attest, is the biggest form of comfort,” she told People in 2023.
It looks like she found that same kind of comfort in Louis-Fernand. Evita will play at the London Palladium for 12 weeks until September 6th. We will have to see what happens to the couple when she heads back to Hollywood.
