The popular show Heated Rivalry has taken the country by storm. The HBO Max show depicts fictional Canadian hockey player Shan Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Russian star Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), who have a rivalry on the ice and a romance off it.
Now, Storrie is reportedly skating with the A-listers at the peak of his stardom. According to TMZ, Storrie was spotted leaving the Oscars on Sunday night with Australian singer Troye Sivan.
However, TMZ is also reporting that Storrie has been involved in rumors of an “off-screen pairing” with another Heated Rivalry co-star, François Arnaud.

Fans reacted to Storrie’s exit with Sivan on social media.
“It’s not his fault he’s just soo hot everyone wants him to date their fave,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“I hate celebrity culture. Last year you were a normal guy, now you’re dating famous people. I find people who’ve been famous for an extended time leach off new comers to stay relevant, pisses me off and immediately makes the newcomer unrelatable. Conor relatability was nice,” someone else added.
“I love how Connor is saying it, without saying it. Taking a page from Pedro Pascal’s handbook,” one person added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Storrie and Sivan are spotted together again in the coming days.
