Jack Hughes, fresh off scoring the golden goal that delivered U.S. men’s hockey the Olympic gold in Milan-Cortina — teeth chipped, adrenaline high — is no longer just a rising star on the ice. At 24, the Devils forward has cemented himself as a household name, a blur of speed and precision, a player whose career still promises major milestones.
Off the ice, Hughes has also captured attention. Hailing from a family steeped in NHL pedigree, the Orlando native’s personal life draws eyes almost as fast as his slap shot. Recently, those eyes have turned toward a possible pairing with Canadian pop star Tate McRae. The pair were spotted together in New York City last November, sharing laughs and low-key moments that set social media abuzz with speculation.
Neither Hughes nor McRae has confirmed anything publicly, and their approach so far has been quiet — no statements, no posts, no red carpet appearances together. Still, McRae has been spotted at a handful of Hughes’ games, a subtle signal that there may be more to the story than just casual friendship.
At this stage, it’s mostly observation and inference. Fans can only watch, wait, and wonder if the NHL star and the Canadian singer are quietly making it work away from the glare of the spotlight.
It’s the sort of low-key romance that fits Hughes’ profile: focused, deliberate, keeping the chatter at arm’s length while the headlines and speculation swirl around him.
