Rachel Zegler puts on a loved-up display with new boyfriend Nathan Louis-Fernand as they enjoy a dog walk in Primrose Hill

BBG News

As I strolled through Primrose Hill, London on Tuesday, my heart brimmed with joy as I snuggled close to my beloved, Nathan Fernand. The sunny day was the perfect backdrop for our dog walk, and I couldn’t help but let my smile shine brightly.

In a charming display of affection, the young actress, aged 24, was noticeably smitten with her fresh dance collaborator from the West End production of Evita. They strolled through the bustling city streets, exuding a palpable sense of romance.

Rachel smiled brightly while holding onto Nathan’s arm, leading their dog on its way, before performing at the Palladium later that night.

The pair seemed happy and content as Nathan, once a dancer at the London production of Magic Mike Live, affectionately put an arm around the actress.

Under a revealing white and black polka-dot halterneck crop top, Snow White confidently displayed her striking physique without a bra.

She matched the number with a pair of blue jeans made from denim and stayed comfy wearing a pair of white sneakers.

Loose and flowing, she styled her long, dark hair, choosing a natural look with minimal makeup for the event. In contrast, Nathan wore a casual outfit, donning a white polo shirt paired with jeans.

The breakdancer hailing from Nottingham, who’s graced stages in performances like Hamilton and The Lion King, was sporting a crisp white cap and sneakers too.

Rachel laughed as she checked her phone while walking arm in arm with her new boyfriend.  

It’s thought they first crossed paths while both were involved in rehearsals for the play Evita, which started in April as part of Jamie Lloyd’s version of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.

For approximately a year now, Nathan has been employed as a dancer in the Magic Mike Live production, which is a stage show that Channing Tatum developed, inspired by the movies where he played leading roles.

In this 90-minute performance, a team of male dancers showcase captivating dance numbers, awe-inspiring acrobatics, and popular tunes that honor and express female desires.

The dancer has a strong bond with his family, particularly his parents and elder brother. He prefers spending time on yoga instead of going out for late-night parties or drinking, and shares a deep affection for musical theater with Rachel.

On weekends, the newly formed pair often takes trips together, forming a strong bond, particularly with Rachel, who portrays Eva Peron in the production of Evita. She has developed a close relationship with them.

About a week back, the Disney celeb posted several images on Instagram depicting a getaway to the countryside. She affectionately called Nathan “my charming partner.

While starring as Eva Peron in a West End musical, Snow White’s star residence is currently London.

Eight months ago, whispers about a breakup circulated between her and her three-year partner, Josh Andrés Rivera. However, they didn’t publicly confirm if the rumors were true. Now, she is involved in a new relationship.

2024 saw whispers spreading that the co-stars from West Side Story had separated, as fans observed Rachel removing Josh from her Instagram posts in November.

In 2021, the pair started going out together, having first crossed paths during the production of the West Side Story remake. Notably, she secured the part of Maria at a public audition when she was only 16 years old. On the other hand, he portrayed Chino in the production.

In February 2022, Rachel publicly announced her relationship on Instagram, however, that post was later removed.

Last Valentine’s Day, it seemed like the actors declared their romantic relationship on Instagram as well, since Zegler posted a monochrome selfie picture of them on the platform.

Zegler labeled it as ‘acts of affectionate wrongdoing,’ but in a subsequent post, she shared a video of Rivera treating her during a romantic dinner, saying, ‘Sending love on this special day from us two.’

In May of 2023, Zegler posted a video of them gazing at each other and expressed heartfelt admiration for Rivera in the caption, wishing him a happy birthday.

Joshua, on your special day, I want to express how much you embody all the aspects of this world that I cherish. You’re an extraordinary man in every way. When it comes to life, I simply enjoy doing laundry and handling taxes alongside you.”

In this version, I have attempted to maintain the original sentiment while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

Following their joint work in “West Side Story,” they subsequently appeared together once more in the Hunger Games prequel.

In the 2023 movie “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” Zegler portrayed Lucy Gray Baird, while Josh assumed the character of Sejanus Plinth, who served as the mentor for the male tribute from District 2.

I’ve never felt more proud of anyone in my life, let me tell you, was what Zegler expressed on her Instagram Story upon sharing the news about her boyfriend getting hired for the prequel.

In any film set, I believe a well-known face provides the greatest sense of reassurance for young actors, as the actress shared with People when her former boyfriend joined the movie production.

As both a girlfriend, friend, and colleague of Rivera, it’s simply awe-inspiring to follow the course of his remarkable career and be a part of his journey to stardom. My admiration for him knows no bounds.

Josh added, ‘I’m incredibly fortunate,’ expressing his relief at having her by his side when he was so far from home.

In another beautiful land, we found ourselves. We delved into its mysteries hand-in-hand. The experience was simply enchanting, and I am deeply grateful for it.

In a conversation with Elle in 2022, regarding Rivera, Zegler stated: “I feel like there’s an innate comprehension of my experiences.

Given his unique perspective, he has the ability to help ground me and remind me when something isn’t of great importance.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d put it this way: “When he steps back from the whirlwind, he can pull me aside and help me refocus. He gently nudges me away from my phone, reminding me about the essence of life that often gets overlooked in favor of digital noise. He encourages me to stay grounded, to be present, and not get caught up in the judgments of countless anonymous internet users.
