Rachel Zegler and Evita Dancer Nathan-Louis Fernand Confirm Romance

by

Rachel Zegler didn’t need to eat a toxic apple to find her new Prince Charming.

Actually, what she really required was a visit to London. During her attendance at the city’s yearly BST Hyde Park festival on July 6th, the actress from Snow White was spotted getting quite close with British actor and dancer Nathan-Louis Fernand.

In summary, the pair, who are starring in the London West End’s revival of Evita until September, were spotted together during Sabrina Carpenter’s performance. They exchanged affectionate gestures like holding hands and sharing kisses. Later, Rachel, aged 24, leaned her head on Nathan’s shoulder. Maintaining their casual date night vibe, the reported couple coordinated their outfits for the event.

During that time, the Y2K star was styling a sleek black leather ensemble, while Nathan opted for a smart navy jacket, jeans, and a crisp white cap.

TopMob News has reached out to Rachel’s rep for additional comment but has not heard back. 

Rachel, who plays Eva Perón in the musical, appears to have ended her long-term relationship with Josh Andrés Rivera, following reports of a new romance with her Evita co-star. Their relationship began publicly in February 2022, more than two years after they first met while filming West Side Story in 2019.

In collaboration with Josh (aged 30), she was part of the team for the 2023 film titled “Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes“. She referred to this joint project as her “greatest source of comfort”.

She expressed her awe at watching his professional growth and his ascent to fame during an interview with People in November of that year. She also confessed her deep affection for him.

Josh expressed similar feelings, pointing out that he was extremely grateful to work alongside his partner yet again.

He elaborated to People that she was extremely proficient and an outstanding teammate. He added, “I believe we managed to connect during difficult times. We provided mutual encouragement and support.

In May 2024, the couple’s last public appearance was captured when Rachel posted a heartfelt birthday message for him on her Instagram Stories.

Today is his birthday,” she wrote in her post, accompanied by a picture of them sharing a sweet cheek kiss. “I adore him deeply. He’s not just my partner, but also my dearest friend, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be cherished by him.

The one where fans had no idea their favorite Friends couple actually had feelings for each other.

In the memorable HBO Max reunion of the classic NBC series, I found myself reminiscing on a secret admiration that bloomed between Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer during our debut season. It was a fascinating revelation that added an intriguing layer to our on-screen chemistry.

According to Schwimmer, he confessed, “Yes, I had a big crush on Jen during the first season.” Aniston responded, “And my feelings were mutual.

So why didn’t Ross and Rachel’s real-life counterparts ever officially get together?

At certain moments, there was a strong mutual attraction between us, as Schwimmer clarified. However, due to one person being involved with someone else at all times, it was like our paths crossing but not merging, since we never overstepped the boundaries. We maintained that respect. Yet, we both…

Later, Matt LeBlanc interjected jokingly, “Balderdash! I’m just teasing,” implying that there might have been a hint of affectionate moments between the cast members on set.

In her own words, she admitted to David, “I had mentioned once before that it might be quite unfortunate if our first real kiss happened on live TV.” However, as she revealed, our first kiss did indeed take place, and it was in a coffee shop.

However, during their time on set, the co-stars often found opportunities to bond. Schwimmer reminisced about those early years, recalling how they would sometimes cuddle on the couch during breaks from rehearsal. Aniston chimed in, sharing memories of moments when they would spoon and even fall asleep together on the couch.

Eventually, Schwimmer confessed, “I was wondering, didn’t everyone realize we had feelings for each other?” (or alternatively, “I was pondering, didn’t everyone see that we had a crush on one another?”)

In 2010, the cast of The Big Bang Theory made a significant revelation when it emerged that they had been dating for two years. It wasn’t until after their breakup that Kaley Cuoco disclosed intimate details about their relationship.

In an interview with CBS Watch! magazine, Cuoco shared that her relationship with Galecki was a significant aspect of her life, yet it remained hidden from the public eye. It was a delightful connection, one where we never exchanged words about it or appeared in public together.

Despite the real-life romance between Penny and Leonard having ended off-screen, these characters remained in a relationship throughout the rest of the popular CBS sitcom. Acting as a couple on set was always comfortable for the ex-pair.

She mentioned that when handling two individuals who had been working since they were just four years old, and who led very secretive lives, the last thing she wanted was any disclosure beyond that. It turned out that their need for privacy might unintentionally have played a role in their separation.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can empathize with this sentiment. In my personal experience, I’ve found that nurturing relationships requires vulnerability and openness. Initially, we might strive to safeguard our connections and the experiences they bring, fearing potential harm. However, this very protection can lead to a sense of sadness and isolation, as it prevents us from fully embracing what the relationship offers. I, for one, don’t wish to maintain relationships where I feel compelled to hide aspects of myself. Instead, I strive for connections that foster honesty, transparency, and mutual growth.

If you found the characters from the show “Saved By the Bell” to be quite romantic and cliquey on-screen, that’s peanuts compared to the real-life romantic dramas that unfolded off-camera.

At some point, everyone among us has gone on dates – it felt like we were all intertwined! This is what Mario Gosselaar shared with People in 2009. Sometimes the girls would band together against the boys. Tiffani and Elizabeth would dislike me, and then they’d turn against Lark because she was talking to me. Mario was supposed to stand by someone, but he found himself caught in the crossfire. It was just like high school drama, with questions like, ‘How could you talk to him?’

However, the couple from “Saved by the Bell” who remained an item for the most extended period was Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Gosselaar) and Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Voorhies), dating for three years during the series’ later seasons.

During their time playing Zack and Kelly on television, these iconic ’90s stars, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen, were known to have a strong affinity for each other, as revealed by Ed Alonzo (Max from The Max) in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“It was very cute,” Alonzo shared. “It was hand-holding and looking over.”

During an interview with People magazine, Thiessen disclosed that her initial experience with alcohol occurred in the company of Gosselaar. She stated, “Mark-Paul and I had the chance to visit Paris [for a press tour]. We enjoyed crepes, and my first taste of alcohol was with him. At times, it seemed like we were living as Barbie and Ken, or maybe even Zack and Kelly.

Indeed, it’s true that Zack Morris had romantic encounters with each of the main female characters from “Saved By the Bell.” In a 2019 interview on Anna Faris’ “Unqualified” podcast, he confessed to having a short-lived crush on Berkley.

He clarified, “The setting you’re referring to – it’s familiar. When we’re filming on location, especially when we were younger, it was like we were isolated, living and working in a protective sphere or ‘bubble’, as you might say.

No wonder Zack had to call so many time outs.

On the television show “Saved By the Bell,” Lopez’s character A.C. and Jessie from Berkeley, played by Thiessen, were portrayed as an endearing couple. However, in his memoir titled “Just Between Us,” Lopez disclosed that he had a romantic relationship with Thiessen off-screen.

He described their activities as attending movies, dining out, socializing at parties, and dancing with each other, eventually transitioning into an official couple. However, Lopez confessed to being unfaithful, stating, “I believed that staying faithful to Tiffani was the right course of action. Yet, I can’t say that I was mature enough at that age to uphold my noble promises.

To what extent did the romantic relationship between the co-stars of “Beverly Hills, 90210” extend beyond the set? The answer varies depending on whom you inquire.

In 2020, Brian Austin Green (or David and Donna as mentioned) shared on the Woman on Top podcast that they had spent time both on and off camera together, but there seems to be a difference in their individual interpretations of those moments. Green explained that these events can be viewed from two distinct perspectives: one resembling a young girl’s understanding and the other like a young boy’s perspective, suggesting that each person has a unique take on the situation.

She went on to say, “It’s quite amusing, really. It feels like, ‘Don’t you recall that summer when we were more than just friends? You confessed your love and I reciprocated. But it seems you don’t remember any of that. You claim we merely hooked up. And my response was, ‘Alright, alright.’ Even today, I find myself saying, ‘Alright, alright.’

In 2015, Spelling confessed during a lie detector test on ‘Celebrity Lie Detector’ that she had always harbored feelings for Green and disclosed past incidents such as kissing Luke Perry and having a summer romance with Jason Priestley. When asked about this, Priestley simply tweeted, “I’d rather not discuss it… It’s nobody’s business… Whether true or not…,” at the time.

Prior to his marriage to Blake Lively, the Deadpool actor shared a kiss with a popular ’90s TV personality following their roles together in the 1996 television film, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

In her 2013 memoir titled “Melissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life,” the actress disclosed that on his last day of filming as Seth, Sabrina’s romantic interest, Reynolds presented her with a watch. Consequently, as one might expect, their on-screen chemistry led to a kiss in her hotel room while they were co-stars.

She noted, “His kisses were delightful, not to mention his large hands and broad shoulders dwarfed mine. It was quite captivating, considering the strong aroma of hair gel he emanated.

For quite some time, there have been whispers about a romantic relationship outside of their on-screen appearances between the initial finalists from “American Idol”. However, it was only recently that Clarkson publicly acknowledged that they did indeed date; yet, this occurred after they had stopped competing against one another.

She clarified in a 2015 interview on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ that contrary to popular belief, we didn’t date during ‘Idol.’ However, she admitted they did have brief romantic encounters while filming their movie, ‘From Justin to Kelly,’ which was released in 2003.

She added, “Given their frequent interactions, I believe they would inevitably start dating. The song ‘Timeless’ from From Justin to Kelly, there’s no resisting its charm!

While filming Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009, Cyrus quietly dated her on-screen love interest.

They revealed their two-month long relationship during the promotion of the Disney movie, stating on an Atlanta radio station, “I believe it will enhance the film since it was truly authentic.

After her 2010 separation from Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens was romantically linked to her “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” co-star for a while. However, the news of their relationship wasn’t public until after they had broken up…during the promotional period for their film.

In a shared interview on an Australian morning program back in 2012, the ex-pair were questioned about their relationship duration with, “For how long have you two been together?

Pause for an extended moment, filled with what seemed like eternity, followed by perplexed glances between them. Then, Hutcherson spoke up, adding to the growing unease in the situation.

He wasn’t with her before, but at some point they were together, however, she hurt him deeply…Oh, hold on, I’m just joking,” he added, causing a burst of laughter from Hudgens.
