Rachel Zegler and new boyfriend Nathan Louis-Fernand look smitten as they enjoy the sunshine in London
The actress, 24, and her new backing dancer partner, 27, enjoyed a romantic dog walk with their pooch Lenny.
The Snow White star cut a trendy figure in a red Adidas top and denim shorts, while her handsome hunk flexed his muscles in a sleeveless white vest top.
The couple are believed to have met during Evita rehearsals, which began in April for Jamie Lloyd's adaptation of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.
Over the past year, Nathan has worked as a stripper on the Magic Mike Live show - a performance created by Channing Tatum based on the films he starred in by the same name.
The 90-minute experience sees a cast of male dancers performing provocative routines, acrobatic acts and musical hits which 'celebrates female desires'.
The dancer is very close with his parents and older brother, preferring yoga sessions over late-night partying and drinking. He bonded with Rachel over their shared love for musical theatre.
The new couple have spent weekends away with one another, with the rest of the Evita cast, as Rachel, who plays the lead role Eva Peron, has grown very close to them.
Last month, 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'.
The Snow White star has been staying in London while she stars as Eva Peron in the West End musical.
Her new romance comes eight months after rumours swirled she had split from her boyfriend of three years, Josh Andrés Rivera - though the pair never confirmed they had broken up.
Rumours that 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.
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.
Then in February 2022, Rachel hard-launched their relationship on Instagram, but the post has since been deleted.

Rachel put on an animated display on their walk
The actors appeared to make their romance Instagram official on Valentine's Day that year when Rachel shared a black-and-white selfie photo of the couple on Instagram.
'Committing valen-crimes,' captioned the actress, who went on to post video that showed Rivera feeding her during a romantic dinner: 'Happy love day from me n mine.'
And in 2023, Rachel wished Josh a happy birthday in May by gushing about him in the caption of a video that showed them staring into each other's eyes.
'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.'
After their West Side Story collaboration, the pair then featured together again on the Hunger Games prequel.
Rachel 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.

EastEnders' Tony Discipline works up a sweat at new Fire Brigade job after quitting soap and split with Jacqueline Jossa
SOAP star Tony Discipline has traded EastEnders for a new life working in the fire service – and is currently deep in training. To most EastEnders fans, he will be known as Tyler Moon, the troubled son of David Essex's Eddie Moon and cousin to the legendary Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). 10 10 10 Appearing on the show from 2011 to 2013, Tyler proved to be a volatile character. As an amateur boxer he would take on bouts which his older brother Michael (Steve John Shepherd) would fix without his knowledge. This ultimately caused Tyler massive trouble as, after agreeing to an illegal fight, suffered a seizure from the amount of hits he took to the face. While his character was certainly a hard nut, 12 years on Tony is now using his own brute force for good, working with the London Fire Service. Spotted running through drills at his base, Tony was barely recognisable as he was spotted completing runs. It seems elements of Tyler stayed with him though, with Tony wearing a red t-shirt that reveals he's a member of the LFS Boxing Club. Speaking of his new job, Tony previously told The Sun: 'I love it. Every day is different and you feel you're helping your community. "It can be quite dangerous but you're trained to deal with those situations.' During his time on EastEnders, Tony sparked a relationship with Jacqueline Jossa, with the pair dating for 18 months before splitting in 2013, around the time that he left the soap. On screen, Tony's character Tyler found himself at one point in a love triangle with Jossa's character Lauren Branning and Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). However, Tyler's feelings for Whitney became most prominent, with the pair becoming a will they/won't they couple during his entire time on the Square. 10 10 But after years of ups and downs, as well as becoming entangled in his family's increasingly sketchy businesses, Tyler decided he had enough and left in 2013 in a stolen sports car. He was last known to be going to work on a cruise ship alongside his brother Anthony. However, Tony has never ruled out a potential return. 'I loved my time there," he told us. "It was a great chapter in my life and if the opportunity ever came up, I would definitely be interested.' Since his EastEnders exit, Kent-born actor Tony has been busy grafting off-screen, also working as a bartender at his own bar, The Tipsy Trailer. While acting has taken a backseat in his life, he does continue to do some jobs – appearing in an episode of Doctors in 2024, and this year appearing in the movie, Dream Hacker. 10 10

Lily Collins looks as chic as ever in a polka dot as she films scenes for fifth season of Emily In Paris in Venice
Lily Collins looked as chic as ever as she filmed scenes for the upcoming fifth season of Emily In Paris on Friday. The actress, 36, who stars as the titular character, has headed to Venice, Italy, for the episodes as the series will follow her journey to Rome. Filming in a restaurant, Lily wore an elegant polka dot dress with a bandeau neckline and matching scarf. She pulled her hair back into a sleek, slicked black look and accessorised her outfit with a pair of statement earrings. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas said: 'I think Gabriel realised that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake. 'They certainly had a big fight and a cooling-off period. But I think he realised that by the end of the season, that there's something that he doesn't want to let Emily go. 'I don't know what that means. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be together instantly or ever. I don't know, but I think he feels there's unfinished business with the two of them.' However, there is hope for the couple as according to creator Darren Star, the season is not fully moving to Rome. He told Deadline: 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. 'Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.' The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on. Camille Razat, who plays Camille (right) in the romantic comedy-drama revealed the news with an emotional goodbye post on Instagram after fans said bosses 'destroyed the character' Sharing various snaps from her time on the show, she wrote: 'After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. 'It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories. 'I'm deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world. 'This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.' She added: 'I've recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station Girls for Disney+. I'm also excited to share that I've launched my own production company, @tazar_production. 'We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we're currently developing our first feature film, something I'm truly passionate about and excited to grow. 'I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. Thank you for the beautiful ride.' Her fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to share their support. Lily said: 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you.' Philippine Beaulieu added: 'You'll be so missed ma chérie Frenchie!!!' It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien Laviscount Lucien wrote: 'From day one you've been my rider on this show. Your passion for story telling, your dark sense of humour, your unwavering ability to stay true to yourself, when everything's pushing you in a different direction. 'You're special Camille and I feel absolutely honoured to of been able to dance with you these past seasons. Keep on shining. 'I'm going to miss laughing with you. I'm cheering you on in everything you do.' Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020. The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily? 'A plucky American marketing whiz spreads her wings in life and love after landing her dream job in Paris.' The show, created by Star, has had 40 episodes run over four seasons. It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine, Ashley Park, Lucas, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien.
