To celebrate his girlfriend Katelyn Larson’s birthday, Hudson Williams just shared a sweet Instagram story to commemorate her special day.
Williams, known for his role as Shane Hollander in HBO’s Heated Rivalry, posted a photo on his story of Larson standing on a dirt road, with a sunset in the background.
“My darling you were eternalized when you ran to that sunset up that red dirt road,” Williams wrote. “I’ve loved people deeply for a day, for a week and some for years but I’ll love her until I die. Not because I’m supposed to, or because that’s how I was raised, but because every time she smiles I see the little girl whose joy is so unpolluted. Happy birthday to my person.”
When Heated Rivalry was first released in Nov. 2025, fans speculated that Williams might be dating his co-star Connor Storrie. Despite their on-screen chemistry, the actors have expressed that they’re just very close best friends. This was solidified when Williams hard-launched his relationship with Larson on Valentine’s Day.
Williams posted an Instagram collage with photos of his girlfriend, captioning it, “With me since my 2000 gold Mazda protege smoked and squealed and I had no job.”
With Williams in the spotlight for his role on Heated Rivalry and Larson working as a tattoo artist in Port Moody, BC, the couple has worked hard to keep their relationship relatively private.
“I think everyone just sees her, takes her in stride, and all the lovely fans supporting her even though she’s not even trying to be out there or be really perceived,” Williams said in an interview with Etalk Canada on the Oscars red carpet in March. “She’s like, ‘I don’t want to be perceived.’ But they’re still just being really warm, from what I’ve been told, and that’s really nice.”
Williams’ latest project, Heated Rivalry Season 2, recently began production in Canada. It’s set to release in spring 2027, with the filmmakers saying that they “promise it’ll be worth the wait.”
