If you’re anything like us, it’s been hard not to hyper-fixate on the steamy new Prime Video TV adaptation of Cruel Intentions—starring none other than home-grown Aussie actor, Zac Burgess.
Making his claim to fame on the Australian smash hit series Boy Swallows Universe, where he acted alongside Phoebe Tonkin and Simon Baker, the young actor is now gaining international traction for his Chuck Bass-inspired portrayal of his character, Lucien in the adaptation of the OG 1999 blockbuster.
All professional achievements aside, what we’re really interested in is whether or not Zac is currently tied down to any special lady in particular.

Does Zac Burgess Have a Girlfriend?
We may have uncovered the truth after some serious Instagram stalking, and unfortunately, we don’t think you’re gonna like it.
It appears the star might currently be in a relationship with Leah Gersteling. The young, Australian kinesiologist appeared in a post on Zac’s Instagram, seemingly confirming his relationship status, back in November 2023. The image shared shows him relaxing by the ocean alongside Leah, who he also tagged.
Zac has not publicly spoken about his apparent relationship, so, we have been left to gather the majority of our info from his painfully vague Instagram.
From what we could find, Leah’s first appearance on his Instagram was on July 21, 2023, in a carousel that Zac posted. She had also commented on an earlier post of his where he shared a touching poem he wrote to honour his late father—the comment read “Beautiful words, he would be so proud to know what a genuine fine gentleman you’ve become,” posted on on May 6, 2023.
Who Is Leah Gersteling?
Apart from what appears to be her day job as a kinesiologist who specialises in mind-body medicine and Reiki (according to her IG), per her IMDb page, the talented young woman is also a sound/boom operator, with experience working across the sound department on Netflix’s hit Australian miniseries Boy Swallows Universe.
