In a scene straight out of a fashion magazine, “Heated Rivalry” co-stars Connor Storrie and Francois Arnaud were seen gracing the streets of Paris. The pair were spotted together after a Paris Fashion Week event, shortly after Arnaud had firmly deflected inquiries about his personal life.
The 40-year-old Arnaud and 25-year-old Storrie made quite an impression as they exited the glamorous party. Storrie looked effortlessly chic, donning dark jeans paired with a classic white t-shirt and a brown leather jacket complete with a shearling collar. He completed his look with a pair of sleek black boots, his smile adding a touch of warmth to the crisp Parisian evening.
Arnaud, on the other hand, embraced a more polished ensemble. He wore a striking burgundy coat layered over a blue sweater, which he teamed with well-tailored pants and stylish brown boots. His choice of attire brought a sophisticated flair to the already fashionable gathering.
Their public appearance together comes on the heels of Arnaud’s recent television appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.” During the show, host Andy Cohen probed into Arnaud’s romantic endeavors, only to be met with a resolute refusal to discuss his love life. Arnaud’s stance left many speculating, yet his focus appeared firmly on his professional commitments and his striking presence in the fashion capital.
The sighting comes after Arnaud appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and harshly shut down host Andy Cohen’s question about his love life.
When Cohen asked whether Arnaud is “single these days,” the “Schitt’s Creek” alum boldly replied, “None of your f–king business.”
Cohen then quipped, “It’s not [my business], but I try. I’ve got to try.”
Rumors that Storrie and Arnaud were dating swirled after they were spotted at JFK Airport together earlier this month. The two also attended the “Is This Thing On?” premiere in Los Angeles together last month.
Arnaud later addressed online harassment he had received from some fans who want Storrie to be involved with Hudson Williams, 24 — who plays Storrie’s love interest in “Heated Rivalry” — in real-life.
“Heated Rivalry“ follows two closeted pro hockey players — Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie) — who are rivals on the ice but hook up in secret for more than a decade and develop feelings for one another. Arnaud plays Scott Hunter, a fellow closeted pro hockey player, whose own love story plays a pivotal role in Hollander and Rozanov’s relationship progressing.
Arnaud told the Toronto Star, “In general, fans have been incredibly positive and respectful.”
“For the ones that aren’t, I think it’s a lot of younger fans who don’t really understand the difference between reality and fiction,” he said of the harassment, which is said to have included death threats.
“I honestly wish they would just rewatch the show, because it doesn’t seem like they got its message,” he added. “Pay attention more closely. Did we watch the same show?”
Fans also noticed that Arnaud unfollowed his “Heated Rivalry” co-stars — including Storrie, Williams and his love interest in the show, Robbie G.K. — in a social media purge, but then added them back.
In what appeared to be a pointed message, Arnaud posted a composite photo of him and Williams giving the middle finger and turned off comments.
“Learning from the very best. 👑 @hudsonwilliamsofficial,” he wrote.
