Hudson Williams attended the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with girlfriend Kaitlyn Larson, their first red carpet appearance together. Williams first publicly shared a glimpse of their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2026. Larson works as a tattoo artist and shares his work on Instagram.
Hudson Williams quickly became one of TV’s hottest breakout stars thanks to his role in the hockey romance series Heat Rivalry. As the actor’s profile has grown, so has the public’s interest in his personal life, especially his relationship with longtime girlfriend Caitlin Rose Larson.
Williams has largely kept his private life out of the public eye. In a December 2025 interview with Deadline, he explained: “When you dream of being in the public eye, I don’t think there’s ever a question of wanting some privacy.”
Still, there have been glimpses of the couple’s relationship in several public appearances over the past few months, including a Valentine’s Day tribute and high-profile red carpet appearances. Here’s what you need to know about Larson’s relationship with Williams.
She and Williams made their red carpet debut at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Larson and Williams made their first public appearance together on March 15, when they attended Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. The actor and Larson posed together on the carpet.
The event comes just months after “Heated Rivalry” debuted in late November 2025, turning Williams into a breakout star along with castmate Conor Storey.
Williams publicly acknowledged their relationship on Valentine’s Day 2026, writing about their relationship.
Williams shared the earliest glimpse of her relationship with Larson in February 2026. Williams posted a collage of photos of the two of them on her Instagram Story for Valentine’s Day. The images included mirror selfies, FaceTime screenshots, and moments of couples spending time together.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” Williams wrote alongside the photo, adding that Larson had been with him “since 2000 Gold Mazda Apprentice Smoked and I Lost My Job.”
The post marks a rare public mention of his girlfriend, after the actor had previously kept his love life largely private.
Williams said his fans have been supportive of his relationship.
At the 2026 Oscars, Williams spoke to ETalk Canada on the red carpet about the reaction to her Valentine’s Day post.
When asked about his fans’ reaction to the revelation, he replied, “To be honest, I didn’t even check my DMs.” “I think it’s probably the exact same thing, but I think everyone sees her and takes her in her stride and all her lovely fans are just supporting her, even though she’s not trying to be out there or really trying to be recognized. She’s like, ‘I don’t want to be recognized.’ But from what I’ve heard, they’re still very warm and that’s really nice.”
She works as a tattoo artist.
Larson appears to work as a tattoo artist. Her Instagram account @katelyrosetattoos features examples of her tattoo work and lists her Vancouver studio Pulse Vancity. Williams follows the account.
In a July 2025 post introducing herself to her followers, Larson shared more details about her work and background. “My name is Caitlin, I’m 24 years old and I’ve been working at Pulse Vancity for over 2 years 🙂 I specialize in fine line tattoos,” she wrote.
Williams commented on the post: “She’s a murderer 🔥.”
