François Arnaud Rebukes Romance Probing, Presses NHL for Real Inclusion as Heated Rivalry Soars

Arnaud’s interviews escalate calls for the NHL to match marketing nods with real inclusion.

Overview

  • On Watch What Happens Live, Arnaud declined to discuss his relationship status, replying to Andy Cohen, “None of your f****** business.”
  • Recent sightings with co-star Connor Storrie fueled dating rumors, and Arnaud told the Toronto Star some fans crossed boundaries, with reports noting online harassment and death threats.
  • Arnaud revealed Helen Hunt messaged him praising his work, joining a wave of celebrity support for the breakout series.
  • In interviews highlighted by CBC, Arnaud urged the NHL to ‘back it up’ on diversity; the league responded that the show is bringing new fans, pointed to team Pride Nights and the Pride Cup, and Commissioner Gary Bettman called the series “a wonderful story” that some may find “a little spicy.”
  • The show remains a major hit with a confirmed second season, and Arnaud suggested fans will see more of his and Robbie G. K.’s characters, whether in Season 2 or a potential spinoff.
