Rachel Zegler packs on the PDA with mystery man as the pair kiss while watching Sabrina Carpenter's BST Hyde Park headline gig
The Snow White star, 24, has been staying in London while she stars as Eva Peron in Jamie Lloyd's reimagined adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical.
And on Sunday, Zegler joined scores of fans as she danced the night away at pop star Carpenter's sold out gig.
But she also appeared to debut a new relationship at the festival, as she was seen getting very cosy with a mystery man.
Zegler looked effortlessly chic in a black lace mini-dress with an oversized leather jacket, with her new man hugging from her behind before they shared a kiss.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Zegler for comment.
Her new romance comes eight months after rumours swirled she had split from her boyfriend of three years, Josh Andrés Rivera - though the pair never confirmed they had broken up.
Rumours the West Side Story co-stars had parted ways began to circulate in November 2024 after fans noticed Zegler had edited Rivera out of photos on her Instagram feed.
The couple began dating in 2021, after meeting on the West Side Story remake - for which Zegler won the role of Maria in an open audition aged just 16. Rivera played the character of Chino.
Then in February 2022, Zegler hard launched their relationship on Instagram, but the post has since been deleted.
The actors appeared to make their romance Instagram official on Valentine's Day that year when Zegler shared a black-and-white selfie photo of the couple on Instagram.
'Committing valen-crimes,' captioned Zegler, who went on to post video that showed Rivera feeding her during a romantic dinner: 'Happy love day from me n mine.'
And in 2023, Zegler wished Rivera a happy birthday in May by gushing about him in the caption of a video that showed them staring into each other's eyes.
'You are everything I love about this world wrapped into one incredible man. Happy birthday, Joshua. In this life, I like just doing laundry and taxes with you.'
After their West Side Story collaboration, the pair then featured together again on the Hunger Games prequel.

Zegler took on the lead role of Lucy Gray Baird in the 2023 film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, with Josh playing Sejanus Plinth, mentor of the male tribute of District 2.
'Never been prouder of someone in my life lemme tell you,' Zegler wrote on her Instagram Story when she shared the news of her boyfriend being hired for the prequel.
'Having a familiar face on any set, I think any young actor can attest, is the biggest form of comfort,' the actress told People at the time of her ex-boyfriend joining her on the film.
'And also as [Rivera's] girlfriend, his friend, and his coworker, it's amazing to see the trajectory of his career, and to witness his rise to stardom. I love him so much,' she added.
'I feel really lucky,' Josh chimed in. 'It was a really great source of comfort for me to have her with me so far away from home.

'We were in a different country. We got to explore that country together. It was absolutely lovely. I feel very fortunate.'
Speaking to Elle in 2022 about Rivera, Zegler said: 'There's always this deep understanding of what I go through.
'Since [his experience was] on a different scale, he's able to bring me back to earth and tell me when it really doesn't matter.
'Because he's removed from it to a certain degree, he's able to just snap me out of it, and tell me to stop checking my phone, or remind me of what actually matters, and remind me to be present, and to not focus on the opinions of 3,000 faceless strangers on the internet.'

Nadiya Bychkova strips off to tiny bikini as she displays washboard abs while frolicking on beach
NADIYA Bychkova stripped off to a tiny bikini as she displayed her washboard abs. The former Strictly Come Dancing star soaked up the sun while frolicking on beach in a mystery location. 4 Nadiya, 35, rose to fame in 2017 when she joined the fifteenth series of the hit BBC celebrity dancing competition. She has taken to the ballroom floor with the likes of Blue singer Lee Ryan, singer Matt Goss and 5 News host Dan Walker. Now, the professional dancer is making the most of her time away from the BBC One talent programme after her split from fellow pro Kai Widdrington. She posted a number of behind-the-scenes snaps of her summer holiday onto her Instagram grid page. The media personality posed for the phone camera in a tiny polka dot bikini. Nadiya flaunted her washboard abs as she donned a black netted sarong skirt as she went barefoot on the sand. Her long blonde wavy locks were free to flow freely in the sea breeze against a backdrop of picturesque views. The location tag was simply left as 'Somewhere...' as she played coy with a cheeky smile. In terms of make-up, she wore just a pink gloss on the lips and black liner as she turned her stunning facial features away from the sun. She captioned the album with a poem: "Sunlight in my hair, stories in the sand. Strictly's Nadiya takes a swipe at her ex Kai as she plugs solo tour after split "The sort of warmth you carry with you, even in silence, where the waves speak in whispers and the heart listens closely." She added: "A little wild. A little open. Somewhere between the sea and the sky… I started to believe in magic again." Her fans and fellow Strictly stars flooded the comments section with gushing compliments. Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse stated: "Omg. Stunning," with two heart face emojis. While a second gushed: "Absolutely gorgeous! Such a natural beauty xxx." "Enjoy your holiday, lovely photos," wrote a third fan. As someone else noted: "Great photos and looking fab."
