Who Is Nathan Louis-Fernand?

While Zegler has become a household name with her standout roles in West Side Story and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, her new partner has been making strides in the dance scene. The 27-year-old British performer boasts an impressive background, having appeared in Hamilton, The Lion King, and Magic Mike Live. He also had a role in the 2023 film Wonka with Timothée Chalamet.

Currently, Louis-Fernand is part of the ensemble for Evita, where Zegler takes on the iconic role of Eva Perón. Their chemistry onstage seems to carry into their offstage interactions, with fans gushing over their charming dynamic. One Instagram user wrote,

“Pretty pretty girl living her best life with nice people. You deserve it. Happiness looks good on you.”
