Everyone is celebrating happiness, hope, and new beginnings for 2026, but things seem complicated for Snow White actress, Rachel Zegler. It all began after the 24-year-old actress' latest Instagram activity had left the netizens speculating about her breakup with her boyfriend, Nathan Louis-Fernand. The couple, who first met while filming Evite in London, were last seen together publicly in November 2025. Although neither of the two has confirmed a split, here's what has led netizens to speculate about it.
The speculation about Rachel Zegler and Nathan Louis-Fernand's breakup began after the actress shared a multi-slide Instagram post on January 1, 2026. Among the images, she shared a screenshot of a Google search reading, "How to fumble a baddie," followed by a drawing by artist Ben Lenovitz that read, "I will never get a boyfriend." She captioned the post and wrote:
"Hello, twenty-twenty-six."
It immediately prompted the fans to think if the message reflected a recent breakup. According to People, a representative for Rachel did not immediately respond to the requests for comment. Moreover, fans have noticed that the actress appears to have deleted her photos featuring her boyfriend, Nathan Louis-Fernand, from her Instagram feed, and she does not follow him on the platform. However, Nathan still follows her; the duo was seen together publically on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, which has made the situation more confusing.
Rachel Zegler and Nathan Louis-Fernand were romantically linked in early July 2025 after they met while working together in the West End revival of Evita at the London Palladium. Soon, they went Instagram official with their relationship and were often seen together throughout the summer and fall seasons. According to People, an insider revealed that they had developed "an instant connection" in July 2025 after meeting at rehearsals. Rachel even publicly called Nathan "the best of the best" by sharing multiple Instagram stories to express her joy over his performance.
Before her relationship with Nathan Louis-Fernand, Rachel Zegler dated actor and West Side Story star Josh Andrés Rivera, with whom she was in a relationship from 2021 until late 2024. There is no exact reason for their split known to the public, but since that breakup, Rachel has kept her dating life private. It has made her recent posts even more significant to the fans who closely follow her online activity.
For those unaware, Nathan Louis-Fernand is a 27-year-old professional dancer and music theater performer based in London. According to his Instagram handle, he has featured in several major West End productions, including Hamilton, & Juliet, The Lion King, and Magic Mike Live, where he performed as the lead dancer, Magic Miguel. Moreover, Nathan has also appeared as a background dancer in the 2023 film, Wonka and in music videos for artists such as Diplo, Jesy Nelson, and Swedish House Mafia. He was trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School and the Urdang Academy and would be next seen in the stage premiere of The Greatest Showman in 2026.
Until now, neither Rachel Zegler nor Nathan Louis-Fernand have addressed their breakup rumours. Until they do, there is no confirmation about the buzz, and fans are left with a few hints and social media clues to determine the status of their relationship.
