A public show of affection

Zegler attended the Sunday opening of “Wanted” at the James Earl Jones Theatre. At the afterparty at Pier Sixty, a source described her as staying close to Jaden and holding his arm.

The source said Zegler introduced Jaden as her boyfriend to people at the gathering. Guests included Ben Vereen, Gayle King, Vanessa Williams and Billy Porter, along with other performers and New York Knicks players.

Posts and earlier sightings

Zegler shared several images from the evening on Instagram Stories. One showed Jaden taking a bow, accompanied by the words “You are everything” and heart emojis; another urged followers to see the show.

The pair were first spotted holding hands in the West Village in late September, according to the report. Zegler was also seen at an October preview of “Wanted” and later spent time with Jaden and cast members at a Times Square gathering.

Their stage careers

Jaden is making his Broadway debut in “Wanted,” playing a villainous love interest in a story about two white-passing outlaw sisters. The British actor previously appeared in West End productions of “Wicked” and “Camelot,” and gained the nickname “Hot Javert” after performing in “Les Misérables: The Arena Concert Spectacular” at Radio City Music Hall.

Zegler recently completed a West End run as Eva Perón in Jamie Lloyd’s “Evita.” The production is scheduled to begin Broadway performances at the Winter Garden Theatre on Feb. 27, and Zegler is set to play Evita there.

Previous relationships

Jaden was engaged to British actress Amy Walsh in 2016, and they separated in 2018. He married theater actress Olivia Kate Holding in July 2023; a source told Page Six that they are now divorced.
