Rachel Zegler turned up for Bradley Jaden’s big night — and, according to reports, she turned up as his girlfriend. Zegler attended the opening night of the new Broadway musical Wanted at the James Earl Jones Theatre on Sunday 8 November 2026, supporting Jaden, who is making his Broadway debut as the villainous love interest Jesse Whitewater.
At the afterparty at Pier Sixty, a Page Six source said Zegler was “calling and introducing him as her boyfriend”. The pair looked cosy and were photographed embracing. Zegler posted a video of Jaden taking a bow on Instagram Stories with the caption “You are everything” and several heart emojis.
The relationship has not been formally confirmed by either actor — representatives for both did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment — so the reports remain just that: reports. But the opening-night appearance was about as public as a debut gets.
Jaden, 39, became known as “Hot Javert” over the summer after starring in Les Misérables: The Arena Concert Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. Wanted follows twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke in 1890s Texas.
The pair were first spotted holding hands in New York’s West Village at the end of September, and Zegler was also in the audience for the show’s first preview in mid-October. Sunday’s opening night was the moment the story moved from whispers to headlines.
Zegler, 25, previously dated her West Side Story co-star Josh Andrés Rivera from 2021 to 2024. She returns to Broadway as Eva Perón in Evita from 27 February 2027.
It has been a big week for celebrity news, from Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss reuniting at the Chiefs game to Ariana Grande’s return to The Tonight Show. The Rachel Zegler and Bradley Jaden story was the weekend’s most talked-about opening night.
