THR highlights their extraordinary rise following Heated Rivalry, from the Golden Globes and Winter Olympics to major luxury fashion partnerships with YSL, Tiffany & Co., Balenciaga, and Bvlgari.
In just one year, they’ve become two of Hollywood’s most exciting breakout stars. ❤️

Rachel Reid on what readers can expect from Shane and Ilya’s story in ‘Unrivaled’! (via @TVInsider)
“Rachel Reid’s ‘Unrivaled’ will see Shane and Ilya face a divided hockey world. Though they’re both playing professionally for the Ottawa Centaurs, enjoying married life, and receiving public support, Shane and Ilya are also dealing with backlash since they came out. A hockey podcast is leading the #/TakeBackHockey movement, presenting the couple with what may be their greatest challenge since readers met them in ‘Heated Rivalry’.
Though she’s described ‘The Long Game’ as Shane and Ilya’s happy ending, Reid felt there were things the couple still need to work through by the end of the sequel. ‘Yeah, because it’s so abrupt,’ ‘They went from being a secret and stealing moments together and all of this for years to suddenly [being] teammates, married, everybody knows about them. That’s a massive shift, and I felt a little bit robbed myself for not getting to see how that goes, because it is so, so huge.’
Reid is having fun writing Shane and Ilya as teammates for the first time, especially with Ilya being Shane’s captain. ‘[They’re] still very competitive, but also having a great time.’ ‘They are definitely at the beginning season, very… just giddy, really. Just so excited to be playing together, but still having a good time, lovingly roasting each other, and being competitive about scoring more goals, stuff like that. And also traveling together and just all these things that they’ve never gotten to do and just the joy of being openly out about your relationship and having people know about it.’”

So hudcon didn't make it into the qg breakout stars of 2026 (but someone did)... Doesn't make sense to me, I guess maybe I've been living under a bubble 😒
#yaga ep. 4: first off, that threesome is twisted but also hot 🫣 Henry's first appearance, but he didn't speak and I can't wait to see more of him. I seriously have no theory about what's happening so I'm just enjoying the ride. This episode went by so quickly!!
