Overview
- Page Six reported the split on Saturday, and outlets including GALA and Promiflash republished the story using unnamed insiders as sources.
- The pair never publicly confirmed a romance; reporting says the liaison began in late 2025 after Hughes messaged McRae and the two were later seen together in New York and at New Jersey Devils games.
- Sources close to Hughes tell Page Six he ended the relationship after noticing “red flags” and told friends the split was his decision.
- People in McRae’s circle give the opposite account, saying she was the one to end things, and representatives for both stars declined to comment to reporters.
- Coverage notes a wider public context as McRae has publicly supported causes such as the Trevor Project while Hughes drew attention for laughing at a controversial joke by President Donald Trump, and the story rests on tabloid reporting that leaves key facts unverified.
