Rivals co-stars Conor Storey and Francois Arnault were photographed together at the Grammy Awards afterparty.
The two actors also attended Saint Laurent’s Paris menswear show last week.
Both Storey and Arnault make a point of keeping their personal lives private.
On Sunday, Heat Rivalry stars Conor Storey and Francois Arnaud stepped out at the Chateau Marmont after the 2026 Grammy Awards. The event was sponsored by Charli XCX, Saint Laurent and W Magazine.
For the afterparty, Story wore a black and white suit with high-waisted pants over a mustard yellow tank top. He accessorized with black loafers and a silver chain around his neck. Arnaud was dressed all in black, with a semi-sheer shirt and a black leather jacket.
Last week, the co-stars were spotted attending the Saint Laurent show in Paris for Fashion Week.
Both Story and Arnaud keep details about their personal lives private, including their off-screen friendships with cast members and their relationship status.
On January 19, Arnaud appeared on Watch What Happens Live!, where host Andy Cohen directly asked Arnaud if he was single or in a relationship.
Arnaud replied, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Arnaud stars in Heated Rivalry as Scott Hunter, a closeted hockey player who eventually comes out in public. This revelation prompts the story’s character, Elijah, to accept a relationship with Shane, played by actor Hudson Williams. This hugely popular show has a passionate fan base who are curious about the actors’ personal lives. Williams and Story in particular have gotten a lot of attention, with the two talking about how they are best friends but not saying much else.
In an interview with Vulture, Story explained her thoughts on the intimacy she shares with Williams on screen and why fans are questioning their dynamic off-camera.
“For me, it doesn’t feel hard at all. It’s like it’s me and my best friend,” he said. “I’ve never had so many eyes on me in my life. They’ve seen me naked, they’ve kissed me, they’ve seen me fall in love with a man on screen. It’s normal for people to try to transfer that to me and Hudson’s real life.”
He added, “I’m honored to be able to bring to life a character that makes so many people feel seen, understood and represented. I think that goes beyond who they sleep with in real life.”
