Since the release of Heated Rivalry on HBO Max, the show’s two stars have achieved a major trifecta of success in the entertainment world.

Hudson Williams recently told Sophie Nélisse in an interview with Wonderland that he and his Pieces of Her costar, Connor Storrie, intentionally avoid attending every event together. Williams explained they want to maintain their individual identities and careers – “We don’t want to be the Olsen twins,” he said, “We want to be Connor and Hudson, with separate projects and opportunities.” However, it’s difficult to resist participating in some things together.

Though 25-year-old Canadian actor Keanu Reeves walked the DSquared2 runway alone in Milan, and 26-year-old Connor is hosting Saturday Night Live on February 28th, the two recently collaborated – they presented together at the Golden Globes in January and were chosen as torchbearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy shortly after.

Honestly, everything I expected from life, everything I thought would happen, has been completely turned upside down and just…thrown away, especially with how quickly things changed and I became well-known. It’s been a wild ride, to say the least. So now, I really just focus on staying grounded and calm amidst all the chaos.

Becoming famous so quickly after being unknown can be difficult, but Hudson, who has dreamed of performing since elementary school, says his family and friends helped him stay grounded and avoid trouble.

He explained to Wonderland that people aren’t overly impressed for long. They quickly move on to what’s next, asking about his future projects or, more importantly, how he treats others. He believes that being a good person – kind to those around him – is the most crucial thing. He personally checks in with his friends and family to make sure he’s not acting unkindly, prioritizing how he shows up as a person.

Particularly to the person who’s been on his bench from the beginning.

He publicly confirmed his relationship on Valentine’s Day with an Instagram post, though he kept most details private. He did share one sweet memory, recalling how his partner had been with him since the very beginning – even when he was driving a beat-up Mazda Protégé and struggling to find work back in 2000.

Beyond that, though, he doesn’t seem interested in providing his fans with further assists.

As the actors portraying rival hockey players developed a romantic connection on screen in Jacob Tierney’s adaptation of Rachel Reid’s Game Changer book series, fans have become eager to learn about the actors’ relationships in real life.

Last December, a host on the Deuxmoi podcast Deux U criticized actor Miles Teller’s performance, stating they didn’t think his acting was very strong. They also talked about rumors that he’s dating the tattoo artist who gave both him and his friend, Connor, matching tattoos that read “Sex Sells.”

Okay, so I was scrolling, obviously, and I saw Kate Hudson actually COMMENTED on a Deuxmoi post! Can you believe it?! And it wasn’t a nice comment, either. She literally said, and I quote, ‘I’ve grown quite unfond of you deuxmoi.’ Like, seriously?! I’m obsessed with Deuxmoi, and now Kate Hudson is throwing shade? It’s a disaster! I saw it on Variety, so it’s real. I’m devastated, honestly.

He has quite a few tattoos – somewhere between thirteen and seventeen, as he told Harper’s Bazaar. His first tattoo was a drawing of Hobbes on his bicep, a tribute to his beloved childhood comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes.

Connor explained to Teen Vogue that they considered many concepts before settling on the phrase for the ink. Hudson added that the phrase has a playful, attention-grabbing quality, but also hints at a deeper meaning beyond what’s immediately apparent.

And, yes, there’s a lot more beneath the ice, so to speak, when it comes to Hudson.

He’s been very open in interviews, readily sharing details about his interests, like his passion for fashion – he even joked about needing more bracelets! He also mentioned hobbies, such as keeping two journals to document his daily life, similar to the writer Joan Didion. Plus, it’s clear he has a strong connection with Connor.

Connor and I connected right away,” Hudson told Zuri Hall in an interview on Live from TopMob: Golden Globes 2026. “The challenge was then making Shane and Ilya click with each other.”

However, when it comes to the people he truly values, he prefers to keep them private and close-knit.

In a December interview with Deadline, he admitted that public curiosity about his and Connor’s sexuality is simply a common part of being famous.

He prefers to stay out of the spotlight. “I’ve always known,” he said, “that if I were going to be a public figure, maintaining my privacy would be a priority.”

Particularly when he’s somewhat skilled at landing himself in the penalty box.

He explained that during a recent interview with Sophie for Wonderland, he often talks at length and feels comfortable enough to say whatever’s on his mind. He noted that the most memorable parts – like when he expressed hope of being an inspiration to Asian children, followed by a joking remark – ended up being combined and sensationalized in a headline he found upsetting.

Not that he has to do all that much to make headlines as of late.

He told Wonderland he was amazed by all the false stories circulating about him. He wondered how he could be the subject of ‘fake news’ so early on.

He’s looking to set the record straight on a couple of things: he didn’t actually write most of those film reviews on Letterboxd, and for anyone wondering, he’s exactly 5 feet 11.7 inches tall.

He’s far from finished making his mark on the industry. He’s already planning his next project, a series called Yaga, and will be working with Crave, the Canadian streaming service where his show Heated Rivalry originally aired.

He shared with Wonderland that he has several goals before the next season begins. He’s fond of his character, Shane, but doesn’t want to be typecast as just the romantic lead. He’s eager to explore different roles and eventually wants to perform on Broadway, possibly in a musical after taking singing lessons. He hopes to accomplish a lot in the next two years.

He’s lucky to have such a supportive partner, but he’s not the only celebrity with a successful relationship. Read on to discover more Hollywood power couples!

In their 2020 book, What Makes a Marriage Last, Hermann explained to his wife, Marlo Thomas, that he never expected to share so much laughter with her in their over 20 years together, calling joy a core part of who she is. He believes their marriage thrives because she loves him unconditionally, which he describes as true grace.

He also shared that seeking out happiness is essential, even after disagreements. Often, after a heated argument, one of them will try to lighten the mood with a joke about the very thing they were fighting over. “It’s about finding a way back to connection,” Hermann said of their life with the Law & Order: SVU star. “It’s like saying, ‘I’m not admitting I was wrong, but can we start to move back toward understanding each other?’” Once they reach that point, he feels confident they can resolve their issues.

They’ve managed to avoid major changes in their relationship by consistently following the advice they received before getting married in 2003. Even with five children, they prioritize weekly date nights and have chosen to avoid buying a television, opting instead for other ways to connect.

Chip says his biggest piece of advice is to passionately pursue the person you love. After twenty years, he still approaches his wife as if he’s hoping for a second date. He jokes that while he can’t guarantee she’ll never stray, it won’t be due to a lack of affection or forgotten special occasions – he always makes sure to tell her he loves her, send flowers, and remember their anniversary.

After 36 years of marriage, I’ve learned a thing or two, and honestly, my first piece of advice is… don’t take advice from celebrities! We always joke about that, but it’s true. We also have a little mantra – ‘Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty’ – which is our way of politely shutting down any further questions about our relationship!

But seriously, we really don’t like to hold onto arguments. We’re not the type to dig in our heels just to ‘win.’ When we do disagree, we’re both actively looking for a way to fix things, because fighting just feels awful. At the end of the day, there’s no backup plan for us. We’re committed to making it work, no matter what.

After over 37 years of marriage, the actors have learned how to argue constructively. As the Family Ties star explained, Tracy and he avoid bringing up past hurts. Many couples, he says, focus on their partner’s weaknesses and attack them, almost as a game, but they don’t do that.

They still disagree sometimes, but they’ve developed healthy ways to cope. He admits he often wants to take back hurtful things he says and fix the situation, but he knows that doesn’t work. Instead, he lets his wife take the lead and give him space. She, in turn, practices understanding, reminding herself that even when he says something insensitive, he’s a good person and likely didn’t intend to hurt her feelings.

Speaking on Today in December 2024, ahead of their 40th anniversary, Curtis shared that her husband still makes her laugh more than anyone else. She playfully added that he must find something to like about her, even if she isn’t sure what it is.

Neil Patrick Harris believes the key to his long-lasting relationship is accepting that relationships are always changing and hard to define. Through career changes – including his partner David Burtka’s cookbook release in 2019 – raising twins Gideon and Harper, and navigating life’s challenges, Harris explained that marriage isn’t static. He noted that even physical intimacy evolves, and couples need to find new ways to reconnect and maintain attraction as they age. Ultimately, he says, you begin to fall in love with someone’s inner self, and then with their physical presence again. It’s a constant process of change, where they keep rediscovering their love for each other in different ways, time and time again.

The comedic duo jokingly believe their laughter actually extends their lives. It’s a running gag that’s been part of their 19-year relationship. As the actress explained, whenever they share a particularly hilarious moment – the kind that leaves you breathless – they estimate how much extra time it’s added to their lives. She playfully keeps a running tally, claiming a good laugh might buy her another two months!

They also limit how long disagreements can last. Following the advice to never go to bed angry, Falcone shared that she once tried letting an argument linger overnight, only to realize she’d forgotten what she was even upset about the next morning. She believes you won’t get any resolution by dissecting a fight when everyone is tired or has had a drink, and has never experienced a late-night argument ending with a satisfying conclusion and a truce.

Both having been married previously, the couple met in 1995 and quickly found themselves blending families, each with two children. The Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist actor remembers realizing early on that the children already had mothers, and she didn’t need to try and replace them. Instead, she decided to be a supportive figure. “Everyone needs a cheerleader,” she explained, “so that’s what I aimed to be. I didn’t try to set rules, discipline them, or teach them right from wrong—they already had parents for that.”

The Cheers actor completely agreed. He believed offering friendship was a smart approach. “It’s about saying, ‘I won’t discipline or judge you, I’ll just spend time with you and be there for you,’” he said. “That’s all you need to do: genuinely be present for them.”

Elton John and David Furnish first formalized their relationship with a civil union in Britain on December 21, 2005, and later married on the same date nine years later when it became legal. However, they celebrate their relationship’s beginning with a chance meeting at a 1993 dinner party at John’s home in Windsor, England – an event arranged by a mutual friend.

Remarkably, every Saturday, no matter where they are or if they’re together, the couple writes each other handwritten letters. They estimate they’ve exchanged around 1,352 letters over the years. Furnish explains that handwriting feels deeply personal and that the letters allow them to reflect on the past week and discuss the week ahead. John agrees, stating that consistent communication is key to a long-lasting relationship and a major factor in their success together.

After quietly building a 40-year marriage, they’ve made a conscious effort to keep their relationship strong, even as their lives have changed. They both prioritize their marriage, actively working to reconnect when they feel distant. If she could offer one piece of advice, it would be to always put that bond first. He passionately affirmed his devotion, saying he would do anything for her, even face great danger or overcome disagreements, to ensure his love always reaches her. He emphasized that if you value your marriage and long-term happiness, you must fiercely protect it from anything that could harm it.

ABC News reporter Roberts admits she doesn’t enjoy casual check-in calls. “I don’t like it when people call just to ask ‘How are things?'” she said. However, a close friend, who frequently calls her, changed her perspective.

A friend pointed out, “Maybe he just feels comfortable hearing your voice, like everything is okay when he connects with you.” This made Roberts realize she hadn’t considered the calls from his point of view. “It’s sweet,” she thought, “and if it makes him happy, it should matter to me.”

Now, she takes a moment to respond kindly, saying something like, “I’m a bit busy, but what’s new with you?” and letting him know she’s happy to hear from him before ending the call. She says this small gesture makes a huge difference to him, and it only takes a couple of minutes to be supportive. They celebrated their 29th anniversary in September 2024.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Mark and Kelly’s relationship – almost 30 years! – started with drama. Apparently, early on, they had a fight so bad, Mark actually threw Kelly’s ring out the window! Can you imagine?! Kelly says that’s so typical of new marriages – little things feel huge when you’re stressed about money, work, or just being exhausted with new babies. But Mark taught her something amazing: to just walk away and breathe. She realized right then that not every disagreement meant the end of everything. It’s so beautiful! They’ve really figured things out. He says that any couple who looks genuinely happy has been through some seriously tough times and made it through. And honestly, that’s something to celebrate, right? It just proves their love is the real deal!

She describes herself as an introvert, almost a loner, while he’s a social butterfly—he jokingly calls himself “the mayor of everywhere.” She’s a bit messy, and he admits to being “a little OCD,” but after being married since 2003, they’ve learned to accept each other’s differences.

The How to Get Away With Murder star says she gives this advice to all her friends who are getting married: marriage isn’t just about the wedding day. It begins when you realize you love someone deeply, even though they have a quality that you know will frustrate you. It’s that moment of accepting both the good and the challenging parts of a person—loving them despite those quirks—that truly starts a marriage.

Maintaining a long-term relationship, like any lasting over 50 years, requires quickly resolving conflicts. Jane Fonda, star of Grace and Frankie, often takes the lead in making amends, explaining, “I usually apologize because I love her and can’t stand the thought of her feeling alone, even for a short time.”

Ideally, she aims to prevent arguments altogether. She’s learned that saying something hurtful in the heat of the moment leads to regret and even more anger later, ultimately harming both your health and the relationship. It’s a lesson she emphasizes: you’ll end up feeling angry twice – first at your partner, then at yourself – and that’s not good for anyone.

It’s fitting that Jerry, a former judge, says his long marriage to the iconic Judge Judy works because he generally lets her have the final say. For her, the key is accepting that you won’t always get your way. Their marriage initially ended in 1990 because he wasn’t able to provide the support she needed after her father passed away. However, they quickly remarried a year later, and she understood he wouldn’t suddenly become a homemaker or take charge of planning events.

She explained simply that unhappiness in relationships often comes from trying to change someone. “You can try, but they’ll always resent it,” she said. “Don’t marry someone expecting them to be different than they are.”

The actor from Lost credits his wife with being the rock of their family. He told TopMob News in April 2025 that her patience and support while he pursues various jobs have been invaluable. He described her as ‘fantastic’ and essential to their family’s stability.

The actor described his wife as incredibly patient, and said she and their two sons always keep him grounded, no matter the situation.

“They shape my values,” he added. “It’s great to have that perspective and North Star.”
