Actor and singer Rachel Zegler is known for her talent, wit, and grace, both on and off the screen. On Saturday, she used her quick thinking to shut down an Instagram comment accusing her of being “romantically obsessed” with her co-star Kit Connor.
The comment appeared under a post on Zegler’s Instagram, with a user speculating on her relationship with Connor. “I think Rachel is so obsessed with Kit Connor in a romantic way, not just a friend way,” the user wrote.
Zegler, who often engages directly with her followers, responded three hours later in her signature no-nonsense style: “no! moving on.”
The succinct reply quickly gained attention, with fans applauding her directness and pointing out the unnecessary speculation surrounding their friendship.
Rachel and Kit, stars of Sam Gold’s “Romeo + Juliet” play that opened on Oct. 24, 2024, and will run through Feb. 16, 2025, after being extended a month from the previously announced closing date.
Though the two are warm and even playful with each other, frequently joking around and razzing each other in their public appearances and interviews. Still, both have been insistent that their relationship is platonic.
