Rachel Zegler, currently starring alongside Kit Connor in the Broadway production of Romeo & Juliet, addressed a fan’s speculation about her relationship with her co-star. The buzz began after Zegler posted a photo dump on Instagram featuring candid moments from her life, including pictures with Connor.
One commenter wrote, “I think Rachel is so obsessed with Kit Connor in a romantic way not just a friend way.” Zegler quickly dismissed the claim, replying, “No! Moving on.”
Zegler and Connor have been dazzling audiences in Sam Gold’s innovative adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. The production retains the original language but incorporates modern staging, costumes, and a Jack Antonoff-curated score. Known for their previous roles in Heartstopper and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, respectively, the pair’s on-stage chemistry has resonated deeply with fans and critics alike.
Beyond the stage, Zegler is preparing for her starring role in Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White, directed by Marc Webb. The film reimagines the iconic tale with contemporary themes of empowerment and self-discovery, alongside Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. With new songs and expanded storytelling, the adaptation aims to enchant a new generation of viewers.
As Romeo & Juliet continues its celebrated 20-week run, Zegler remains focused on her craft, balancing Broadway success with blockbuster ambitions.
