'When I was Mike a.k.a Miguel,' Louis-Fernand captioned footage from his time in the show.
Zegler commented beneath the post: 'You posting this in your birthday is such jokes' to which he replied, '@rachelzegler they just happened to fall on the same day 🤷🏾♂️ a happy accident if you will 😂😂.'

According to his bio, Louis-Fernand has also danced in the hit musicals like 'Hamilton,' '& Juliet' and 'The Lion King.'
The 'West Side Story' actress was previously linked to her 'Hunger Games' co-star Josh Andrés Rivera in 2021.
The exes went public that same year and continued to keep a low profile.

Zegler did, however, give him a birthday shout-out on her Instagram Stories in May 2024, writing, 'I love him so very much.'
She added, 'He is my very best friend. I am so lucky to be loved by him.'
Zegler and Rivera, 30, quietly split 'late last year,' an insider told Us Weekly on Monday, July 7, after the photos with Louis-Fernand made the rounds.

These days, along with a new romance, Zegler is focused on her career.
The actress is portraying Argentine political leader Eva Perón – the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón – in Jamie Lloyd's production of 'Evita.'
''Evita' has been such an important musical to me since I was a little girl, when my dad and I would sing 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' together on my back patio,' Zegler told Deadline in March.

'The opportunity to bring Jamie Lloyd's singular, visionary ideas to life onstage is an honor unlike any other,' continued Zegler. 'The stage has always felt like home to me, and I can't wait to make my West End debut in such great company.'
Her latest role comes on the heels of a controversial year. Zegler received widespread backlash while promoting Disney's live-action film, 'Snow White.'
The star, who played Snow White in the movie, went on a tirade against those who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Zegler wrote in a series of now-deleted Instagram Stories: 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.'
She added, 'Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.'
In turn, many Trump supporters took to social media to reveal that they were boycotting the film.

The 'Hunger Games' vet also criticized the 1937 original animated 'Snow White,' calling David Hand's work 'extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman is fit for in the world.'
'The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so,' Zegler told Extra in 2022.
'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn't do that this time,' she quipped.
Zegler was then slammed as 'immature' by Disney producer Marc Platt's son, Jonah Platt, in an explosive rant after the film flopped at the box office.

Who has the best pizza in Indiana? Huge festival on Monument Circle will let you decide
On Aug. 9, only one slice will reign supreme on Monument Circle. The inaugural Indianapolis Pizza Festival is coming to the heart of downtown, and it's featuring some friendly, delicious competition with $5,000 on the line. Hosted by social media food critic and Indy native Tommy Barrett, the festival brings together more than 30 local pizzerias for a daylong celebration of what he calls Indiana's underrated food scene. "We need more eyeballs on some of our food places. I think we have good food in Indianapolis. There's a very bad stigma that we don't," said Barrett, known online for his viral "StartsWithAQuestion" videos on TikTok and Instagram. "I felt like this was a great opportunity to take what I've done on social media and make it a tangible product for not just people who follow me, but for the whole city." Barrett's festival dishes out unlimited pizza samples with general admission ($30 in advance, $40 day-of), or the full VIP treatment complete with craft cocktails, dessert vendors and prime shaded seating near the stage for $75. Each ticket includes a vote in the high-stakes competition to crown Indiana's best slice alongside celebrity judges like acclaimed pizzaiolo Frank Pinello, host of "The Pizza Show" and owner of one of New York's most iconic pizzerias. "Every single person's vote counts the same," Barrett said. He is channeling his love for food, which he discovered when every work trip and weekend getaway with his wife turned into a quest for the best local eats, to shine a spotlight on Indiana's pizzerias. The festival lineup includes well-known spots like Futuro and King Dough, but also up-and-coming shops looking for a breakthrough moment. Many of them, Barrett added, don't have big marketing budgets. 'There's no Domino's, no Papa John's,' he said. 'It's the mom-and-pops who deserve the credit, who may not have the best budget for a social media marketing team. It's just really word of mouth." The festival is also raising money for United Way of Central Indiana, with proceeds from each ticket and $1 from every drink sale donated to support community initiatives. Between slices, guests can enjoy live performances by the Tyler Robling Band and Jay Baker, or sip a custom beer brewed by Upland Brewing Company, local wine, or lemonade shake-ups. While there's no official pineapple-on-pizza debate planned, Barrett said all toppings and tastes are welcome. He said he's already thinking about making the festival an annual tradition, and possibly branching out to other food events throughout the year. For now, he hopes that everyone can discover something new at the festival. "Try a place you've never heard of," he said. "And if you love it, maybe you drive 30 minutes to support that business again."

Curious Dog Insists on Being 'Involved' in Every Step of Couple's Renovation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An Instagram video showing a Siberian husky and Labrador retriever pup becoming the unofficial supervisor of his owners' home renovation project has melted hearts among social-media users. The heartwarming viral clip shared in January by 30-year-old homeowner from Ontario, Canada, Sabrina Pougnet, under the username @sabrinapougnet, shows the pup, Ackley, following the couple from room to room as they drill, paint, and assemble furniture for their new home. "POV [point of view]: you have a dog that needs to be involved in everything," reads layover text in the clip. A caption says: "Always in the way but he tries his best." Pougnet told Newsweek that they adopted the pup from a shelter in 2017 after being up for adoption twice before he found his forever home with them. "He is very attached to me, which is why he is a co-star in all of our videos. He isn't at all afraid of power tools, so we joke that he was a site supervisor in a past life," said Pougnet. "This video is compiled of just a few of the moments Ackley has demonstrated his site supervisor abilities—always on the job site but doesn't contribute much otherwise," she continued. Curiosity is not an uncommon trait in dogs. Most puppies are born with an innate curiosity that prompts them explore their surroundings and learn new things about the environment they live in. However, when they grow, their curiosity may become less prominent. Fruitville Veterinary Clinic says that every dog is different, and some are just not naturally curious. Puppies that are indeed curious, and are likely to remain so as they age, although they may not always necessarily act on it. The veterinary website adds that, when dogs reach about three years of age, their curiosity about new things starts to decline. This doesn't mean that they will stop being curious, but that they may not take it as seriously as they once did. Screenshots of the viral video show the pup hanging around his owners while they do renovation works at home.

Umifusion added: "My dog was like this. We called him the work site supervisor and he was great at his job." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
