“Heated Rivalry” star Hudson Williams hard-launched his relationship with his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day.
The actor paid tribute to his partner on his Instagram Stories on Saturday, though he didn’t reveal her name.
Williams’ post featured multiple photos of the couple, including two cute mirror selfies and snapshots of them FaceTiming and lying in bed together.
Included was also a photo of Williams’ girlfriend sitting in a booth next to his “Heated Rivalry” co-star Connor Storrie, who had a red heart drawn around his face.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” Williams, 25, wrote across the montage, adding, “With me since my 2000 gold Mazda Protégé smoked and squealed and I had no job.”
Williams has kept his personal life private since becoming a breakout star for playing a closeted hockey player in the hit Canadian TV series.
But after the celebrity gossip brand DeuxMoi reported in December that Williams has a girlfriend who is a tattoo artist, he publicly clapped back at the account.
“You know what, I’ve grown quite unfond of you deuxmoi,” he commented on a since-deleted Instagram post.
That same month, Williams told Deadline that the speculation about his and Storrie’s sexual orientations is “just the nature of celebrity.”
“I think there’s never a question for me, when I would dream of becoming in the public eye, that I would want just a level of privacy,” he shared.
“But of course, I agree. I want queer people telling queer stories, but also, there’s the element of Connor and I—we’re best friends, and we love expressing that physically,” Williams added.
Before starring on “Heated Rivalry,” Williams worked as a server at the Spaghetti Factory in Canada.
He admitted on Evan Ross Katz’s podcast in January that dealing with sudden fame has been “exhausting.”
“Although it feels good that people admire your work, it’s — we can go to pockets of places I never thought we would be found and we’re still pulled aside for a photo,” he explained.
“You have to look nice because you can’t just roll out in sweatpants, which I used to always do, and just look awful,” Williams continued. “There’s all these things that are just sort of exhausting.”
