Tate McRae and Jack Hughes Are in an Exclusive Relationship

Pop singer Tate McRae, 22, and Team USA hockey player Jack Hughes, 24, have reportedly started dating exclusively, according to a source cited by Us Weekly. The couple was first spotted together in New York City in December, and they have been spending time together since late last year. The source confirmed that the relationship is still in its early stages but is progressing positively, with McRae describing it as going well so far. Hughes reportedly initiated contact via Instagram, and McRae finds him both ‘really cool’ and ‘really sweet.’ They have enjoyed shared activities, and McRae has been attending Hughes’ hockey games to support him. Hughes recently gained international attention for scoring the gold medal-winning goal for Team USA in men’s ice hockey at the Winter Olympics, marking the country’s first gold in the sport since 1980. Following the match, images of Hughes celebrating with a bloodied smile and a broken front tooth circulated widely, though he has joked that the injury won’t be permanent. The couple is looking forward to spending more time together as the hockey season progresses into the postseason.
