- Larson and Williams dated years before the show’s 2025 premiere, and he has said she isn’t trying to be perceived.
Hudson Williams‘ girlfriend is putting some Heated Rivalry fans in the penalty box.
Katelyn Larson is asking Heated Rivalry fans to stop using tattoo appointments as a way to get information about Williams. The Vancouver tattoo artist made her case in a Sept. 22 Instagram Story on her professional page.
She clearly dreaded this. “i didn’t ever want to have to say anything about this,” she began.
To be clear, she isn’t closing the shop to the fandom. “Obviously a lot of you have found the studio because of a certain show,” she wrote, “and that’s more than okay.”
If you’re there for ink, go right ahead. Larson welcomes fans who “genuinely like their art and want to get some cool tattoos.”
Then the brakes. “This is where I draw a very hard line,” she declared, explaining that booking with her or anyone else solely because of the show crosses a huge boundary.
The real foul? Fans sitting in the chair and “asking my coworkers any sort of questions about myself or about Hudson.”
Larson called that behavior “hugely uncomfortable” for everyone involved.
Her sign-off was pure Canadian politeness with a body check hidden inside: “With peace and love, please stop.”
Nobody should be surprised she’s guarding her privacy. Larson started dating Williams years before Heated Rivalry’s 2025 premiere, well before the show propelled Williams and his costar Connor Storrie to sudden mega-fame.
Williams already warned us. He previously told ETalk Canada that Larson prefers to avoid public attention, saying, “She’s not trying to be out there or be perceived.”
Still, they’re not exactly hiding. Williams hard-launched their relationship on Instagram in February, and she made her red carpet debut with her partner at the Vanity Fair bash in March.
Earlier this month, Hudson and Katelyn were seen catching a flight out of Toronto together during a break from his filming of Heated Rivalry season two.
Translation for the fandom: Book the tattoo. Skip the interrogation.
