Rachel Zegler has put to rest any romance rumors surrounding her and Kit Connor, her co-star in the Broadway revival of Romeo + Juliet. When a fan commented on one of her Instagram posts, suggesting she was “obsessed” with Kit in a romantic way, Zegler swiftly shut it down, responding with a simple, “No! Moving on.” Her clear and firm reply earned over 3,000 likes, with many fans supporting her stance, emphasizing that their relationship is purely platonic.
Zegler, who’s currently dating Josh Andres Rivera, her West Side Story co-star, and Connor, who came out as bisexual in 2022 after facing criticism for allegedly queerbaiting, have made headlines for their strong friendship. Their debut Broadway production, which opened in October 2024, is set to run until February 2025, directed by Jack Antonoff.
Fans have praised Zegler for standing up for herself, with many applauding her for asserting the nature of her relationship with Connor. It looks like the pair’s friendship continues to thrive, unaffected by unfounded rumors.
