Louis-Fernand is a professional dancer who last performed in Magic Mike Live in London, per his Instagram, and has also appeared in Hamilton, & Juliet and The Lion King.
While it’s unclear how long and and Zegler have been romantic, the West Side Story actress was most recently linked to Josh Andrés Rivera, whom she starred with in 2023’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
The former couple first went public with their romance in February 2021, though it’s unclear exactly when they went their separate ways.
Back in September 2024, Zegler reshared a post to her Instagram Stories promoting the premiere episode of Rivera’s then-new series American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, in which he played former NFL superstar Hernandez.
Zegler also posted on Instagram about Rivera to honor his 29th birthday earlier that year. “I love him so very much,” she wrote in May 2024. “He is my very best friend. I am so lucky to be loved by him.”
Meanwhile, Zegler’s current role in Evita marks her latest stage gig, after a recent Broadway run as Juliet in the acclaimed revival of William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet.

The show is a revival of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber 1978 musical about the life of Eva Perón, the controversial second wife of Argentine military-leader-turned president Juan Perón. The new production is directed by Jamie Lloyd.
“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 said in a March statement to Deadline.
“The opportunity to bring Jamie Lloyd’s singular, visionary ideas to life onstage is an honor unlike any other,” she added. “The stage has always felt like home to me, and I can’t wait to make my West End debut in such great company.”
