“Heated Rivalry” co-stars Connor Storrie and Francois Arnaud were photographed together in Paris after Arnaud shut down questions about his love life.
Arnaud, 40, and Storrie, 25, were spotted in Paris on Monday looking stylish as they exited a Paris Fashion Week party.
Storrie was all smiles in dark jeans, a white t-shirt, and a brown leather jacket featuring a shearling collar, which he paired with black boots.
Arnaud opted for a more formal look, wearing a burgundy coat over a blue sweater with tailored pants and brown boots.
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.
