"Star-Studded Dinner Date Fuels Romance Rumors Between 'Heated Rivalry' Co-Stars"
Connor Storrie and François Arnaud, co-stars from the hit drama series "Heated Rivalry," have further fueled dating speculation with a cozy dinner date at The Smoke House in Burbank, Los Angeles. The pair was spotted sharing a booth at the restaurant, where they were seen happily chatting over their menus.
Photos obtained by TMZ show Storrie, 25, smiling at Arnaud, 40, as he looks over his menu, while in another shot, Arnaud appears to be laughing as Storrie gazes off into the distance. The intimate dinner date comes days after the duo made a fashionable exit from a Paris Fashion Week party last month.
Storrie and Arnaud first sparked romance rumors after being spotted leaving JFK airport together following their press week in New York City. However, some fans of the show had expressed skepticism about Storrie dating Arnaud, with many believing he would be better matched with his on-screen co-star Hudson Williams.
The situation took a turn for the worse when Storrie's on-screen lover Williams' fans received death threats, leading to Arnaud unfollowing several cast members and others involved in the show. Arnaud had also previously unfollowed Williams' followers but later re-followed them after sharing a composite photo of himself and Williams.
Arnaud had initially dismissed the notion that his decision to unfollow several people was related to online harassment, claiming he simply didn't know Instagram's unfollow limit. However, some fans remain skeptical about Storrie and Arnaud's relationship, with one person on social media writing that "Connor Storrie and François look absolutely beautiful" together.
Despite the rumors surrounding their personal lives, both Storrie and Arnaud continue to focus on their work. When asked if he was single during an episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Arnaud playfully dismissed the question, prompting laughter from fellow guest Mary J. Blige.

And it got me thinking... we often don't know what's going on behind closed doors with celebrities. They put up this image of being all perfect and in control, but really they're navigating their own dramas just like the rest of us. It's easy to get caught up in what others are sharing online, but at the end of the day it's not always true.
they just look so good together 
i mean, who wouldn't want to see conor storrie and francois arnaud holding hands? 
they do have that whole "rivalry" thing going on but sometimes i think it's all just a cover for their feelings 
they seem super cute together! but honestly, who cares if people are dating or not? it's all good vibes 
what really matters is that they're both talented actors making amazing shows for us to enjoy. "heated rivalry" has been my fave series lately, and i love how the cast dynamic is so complex and real 
It's not like they're hiding anything or being secretive. The fans who are doubting their relationship need to chill out a bit. Maybe they're just trying to make the show more interesting by fueling romance rumors. 
And honestly, François did seem pretty smitten when he was laughing at Connor - that's all anyone can ask for in a relationship! 
so like i dont wanna spread rumors or nothin but conor & franco had such a cute dinner date together at the smoke house 
but on a more serious note, i think its awesome that they can still keep their personal lives private despite being super public figures 
like, conor and francois seem cute but c'mon how can u trust when ur co-stars fans are gettin harassed online? 
i'm still tryna process the whole hudson williams situation... fan drama is real 
I'm not buying into all the drama from Hudson Williams' fans though 
they're just living their best lives and enjoying each other's company 
they fit sooo good and it looks like they r having a blast on this dinner date 
i know some fans were skeptical abt conor & françois b4 but now im all about it 
but seriously tho, it's great 2 see them having fun outside of work & enjoying each other's company 
.
But seriously, it's cool that they're making an effort to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight. More power to them, if you ask me! 
, no drama, just happy vibes 
. And omg, that smile from Connor Storrie is EVERYTHING 
. I ship them so hard 
and poor Conner, he's literally the human version of a puppy, always looking adorable but clueless. 
. I'm not surprised his fans are skeptical, though - Hudson Williams is a total sweetheart
