To mark Valentine’s Day (14 February), Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams confirmed his relationship status in a sweet post that included his co-star.
Williams shot to international stardom after landing the role of Shane Hollander in the gay ice hockey drama Heated Rivalry, starring alongside Connor Storrie, who plays his love interest, Boston Raiders captain Ilya Rozanov.
Taking to his Instagram Story on Valentine’s Day, Williams shared a collage dedicated to his partner – who, sorry Heated Rivalry fans, is not Connor Storrie.
Williams, who portrays a gay character in the series, has garnered quite a following and now has more than 3million followers on Instagram, perhaps due to to his undeniable chemistry both on and off screen with Storrie, as well as some sizzling scenes.
He has kept his personal life private from fans, which hasn’t stopped him standing up alongside the LGBTQ+ community. However, his Valentine’s Day story hinted that his relationship with a woman, who remains unnamed, goes back years.
Williams wrote over the collage of photos: “With me since my 2000 gold Mazda Protege smoked and squealed and I had no job.”
Photos included selfies and snaps of the pair together, as well as one of his partner sitting next to his co-star, Storrie, whom Williams made sure to highlight with a red heart.
Williams’ girlfriend has previously appeared on his Instagram, including in a photo he posted from Italy on 31 January. The post also includes a clip of them sharing an ice cream sundae.
During an interview with Xtra, a journalist asked Storrie and Williams whether they felt “a need to talk about” their personal lives and identities in relation to the show.
Jumping in before either actor could answer, Heated Rivalry’s director Jacob Tierney shut down the question, stating that there wasn’t “any reason” for them to answer it.
In a later interview with Deadline, Williams and Storrie addressed speculation around their sexualities, with Williams saying it’s “just the nature of a celebrity”.
