Hudson Williams and Girlfriend Katelyn Larson Make Their Red Carpet Debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026, Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams and his longtime girlfriend, Katelyn Rose Larson, made their red carpet debut.
Williams, who has skyrocketed to fame alongside co-star Connor Storrie (who was also in attendance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party) since the show’s release in late November 2025, has kept his personal life largely under wraps while becoming an increasingly public figure.
“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 told Deadline in a December interview.

But in February, Williams shared a rare glimpse at his private life when he made a Valentine’s Day reveal on his Instagram Story, sending some fans into a tizzy. He posted a collage of photos with himself and Larson with a caption wishing her a happy Valentine’s Day, and shouting her out as someone who had been “with me since my 2000 gold Mazda Protégé smoked and squealed and I had no job.”
He has not otherwise spoken publicly about Larson, who is a tattoo artist.
The cast and creatives behind Heated Rivalry have faced intense public scrutiny, with some fans crossing over into toxicity with their comments and speculation. Williams; co-stars François Arnaud, Robbie G.K., and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova; creator Jacob Tierney; and author Rachel Reid all shared the same statement to their Instagram Stories earlier this week discouraging the behavior.
“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynist/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind,” the statement read in white type over a black background. “None of us need your hateful ‘love.’ We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can’t accept that gtfoh.”
