‘Heated Rivalry' star Hudson Williams takes break from acting

Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams took a break from his busy acting schedule to enjoy a night out with a bunch of his friends.

On Saturday night, June 27, the 25-year-old, who is best known for his role as Shane Hollander in the series’ first season, was spotted hanging out with his pals in New York City.

The all-boys group was captured chatting with each other while bar hopping over the weekend.

For the recent outing, the Canadian-born heartthrob sported a white shirt paired with black pants, and white sneakers.

He was also seen carrying a black crossbody bag.

Notably, Hudson has been very busy these past few months filming several upcoming projects including the upcoming movies Apparatus and Tyrant and the limited series Yaga.

Earlier this month, he won the award for Best Lead Performer Drama Series for his work in the first season of the highly popular hockey-romance show at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards.

In his acceptance speech, Hudson gave a shout-out to Connor Storrie. 

In the most famous moment of the night, he shared the award with his American co-star, who was ineligible to win the award himself.

“If I could cut this award down the middle, I would,” he said before making a cheeky statement. “So to the honorary Canadian Connor Storrie, I share this award with you."

Moreover, it was also recently announced that Hudson has been nominated for Individual Achievement in Drama at the 2026 TCA Awards, alongside co-star Connor, 26.
