    Rachel Zegler has sparked rumours that she has broken up with her boyfriend Nathan Louis-Fernand

    The 24-year-old actress has been romantically linked with the star's Evita back-up dancer since July 2025, but two cryptic photos in her Instagram upload on Friday (02.01.26) have raised eyebrows about her relationship status.


    Rachel included a screenshot of a Google search for "how to fumble a baddie".

    The West Side Story star's photo carousel also featured a drawing by artist Ben Lenovitz, which showed a woman smoking a cigarette whilst walking her dog, with "I'll never get a boyfriend" written above the lady.

    Other shots that made up the five-photo post included Rachel spending time with her beloved Golden Doodle dog, Lenny, as well as her posing in a backless green dress.

    The Snow White actress captioned the upload with: "hello twenty-twenty-six (sic)."

    To fuel further speculation on the matter, a selfie that Rachel posted with Nathan as part of an Instagram photo carousel in July 2025 appears to no longer feature in the upload.

    It also appears that she no longer follows Nathan on the social media platform; however, he still follows Rachel.

    In July last year, a source told People that Rachel and the former Magic Mike Live performer "met during rehearsals for the West End production of Evita" in early May, "and started dating early summer".

    The insider added that they "had an instant connection", and that the dancer was attracted to the "very energetic and passionate energy" that Rachel brought to the production - in which she led as Eva Peron

    The Shazam! Fury of the Gods cast member was first seen with Nathan at 26-year-old pop princess Sabrina Carpenter's Hyde Park, London, concert on July 6, as he and Rachel starred in Evita between June and September.

    The couple were pictured kissing at the gig, and in another shot from the concert, Rachel held a drink in one hand, and her flame's hand in the other.

    On July 8, Rachel and Nathan went Instagram official with their relationship, with a photo carousel that featured adorable images of them cuddling up with each other.

    Golden Globe award winner Rachel captioned the post with: "Hello little baddies in my phone."

    Before her relationship with Nathan - who has also appeared onstage in The Lion King, as well as Hamilton, and + Juliet - Rachel had a romance with her 30-year-old West Side Story and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes co-star, Josh Andres Rivera.

    The pair - who never confirmed they had broken up - were together from 2021 until late 2024.
