Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams marked Valentine’s Day with a relationship reveal — and fans were quick to take notice.
The 25-year-old Canadian actor shared a series of photos to his Instagram Stories on Friday, February 13, 2026, mixing romance with a bit of humor.
Alongside snapshots celebrating the occasion, Hudson included a sweet group photo of himself and his girlfriend, along with his co-star Connor Storrie, from a dinner outing.

TOGETHER THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” he wrote over one post, adding a playful nod to his past: “With me since my 2000 gold Mazda Protegé smoked and squealed and I had no job.”
Hudson refrained from dropping his girlfriend's name, though.
The photo Hudson posted on his social media account is a photo collage featuring his girlfriend.
One overhead shot showed the two in bed, and with his girlfriend playfully lying on top of him, while two other images are mirror selfies with Hudson's arms around her.
In another image, he circled Connor’s face with a drawn heart — a lighthearted gesture that shows the close bond the two have formed while working together on Heated Rivalry.
This isn’t the first hint Hudson has dropped about his relationship.
Earlier this month, he subtly introduced his girlfriend in a travel recap from Milan and Paris, in which she appeared in both photos and a short video, laughing alongside Connor.
He also “liked” a fan comment jokingly referring to Connor as his “BF,” further fueling playful reactions online.

HUDSON AND CONNOR'S FRIENDSHIP
Since Heated Rivalry premiered on November 28 last year, social media has buzzed with curiosity about Hudson and Connor’s off-screen dynamic.
Addressing the speculation, series creator Jacob Tierney previously emphasized in an interview that the actors’ real-life sexualities are irrelevant to the story being told.
Heated Rivalry tells the story of two professional hockey players navigating a secret love affair while playing for competing teams.
The series is a big hit and has earned praise from viewers and critics, with Kaiya Shunyata of RogerEbert.com calling it "revolutionary," "entertaining," and the "most significant queer show of the year."
