“Off Campus” stars Josh Houston and Mika Abdallah are dating, a source told Entertainment Tonight on June 24. After weeks of rumors, this was confirmed the following day after photos of the pair showing their affection in Paris were released.
Throughout the show’s press tour, Houston and Abdallah often appeared together in interviews and social media posts. Interest in their relationship increased in June 2026, when Abdallah’s representative announced that she and her ex-fiancé, actor Jake Short, had ended their relationship.
Below is a complete timeline of everything we know about Houston and Abdallah’s history.
May 2026
After Off Campus premiered on Prime Video, fans began discussing Houston and Abdallah’s off-screen friendship on social media.
Justin Cole, played by Huston, and Allie Haze, played by Abdallah, had limited screen time in season one, but viewers noticed that they frequently appeared together throughout the show’s promotional campaign.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in May, Abdallah spoke about the close bond the cast formed while filming and promoting the series.
“I can’t get enough of these people,” she said. “Really, for this press tour, I can’t imagine if I hadn’t flown to Vancouver right away with this bunch of people.”
June 2026
On June 1, Abdallah’s representative confirmed that Abdallah and Short had called off their engagement. “Given the recent attention to Micah’s personal life, it would be disrespectful not to mention that she and Jake are no longer together,” the spokesperson said. “They continue to support each other and maintain a friendly relationship, and we ask for your privacy and respect.”
As the month progressed, rumors of Abdallah and Houston’s relationship gained more attention after speculation surrounding their co-stars was brought up on Australian radio show 2DayFM Breakfast with Nath & Emma.
During the segment, co-host Emma Chow said, “Rumors have been swirling for weeks that the two Off Campus stars were dating in real life.”
Producer CJ added, “One of my friends works for a high-end luxury brand and someone who is very close to Josh Houston was at the luxury brand’s show and word got out.” “That person may have confirmed it.”
The radio segment quickly went viral on TikTok and other social platforms, with fans continuing to discuss the pair.
Neither Mr. Abdallah nor Mr. Houston have commented on the allegations.
Coverage of the rumor expanded across entertainment media as fans revisited interviews and social media content featuring Abdallah and Houston.
On June 22, photos of Abdallah and Houston taken during a trip to Paris began circulating online, in which the two stars were seen hugging each other.
The same day, Houston shared some behind-the-scenes footage with her Off Campus co-stars on her Instagram carousel. One image showed him and Abdallah sitting next to each other during the flight.
The next day, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Houston and Abdallah are dating. Officials did not provide further details about the relationship.
