After scoring the goal that won the United States the gold medal in a famous victory over Canada, hockey hero Jack Hughes is now exclusive with a different kind of Canadian star.
Hughes’ goal in Milan won Team USA its first gold medal in 46 years by beating their rivals to the north 2-1 in overtime.
Now, rumors that he has been dating rising Canadian pop star Tate McRae seem to be more than just speculation.
According to Us Weekly, the two are now ‘exclusively’ dating after beginning a new relationship in 2025.
‘Tate and Jack are dating,’ a source told the outlet on Wednesday.
‘They started casually seeing each other late last year, so it’s still new, but they are exclusively seeing each other.’

This news comes weeks after Hughes scored the goal to win the US a gold medal over Canada
The two have been spotted together while McRae has also watched Hughes play for the Devils
The couple was spotted on a dinner date in November before being seen the following month on a stroll in New York City.
McRae, 22, was even seen at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey to watch Hughes, 24, play for the New Jersey Devils.
‘[Tate] thinks [Jack] is a really cool guy and they have been having a lot of fun together,’ the source told US Weekly.
‘She has been so supportive of his career and has been loving going to the games and cheering him on.’
The news comes weeks after Hughes cemented himself as a legend in American sports with his medal-winning goal.
Hughes has since been celebrating – first in Miami, then in Washington DC at the White House and at President Trump’s State of the Union.
He was even seen on last weekend’s episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’ alongside brother Quinn Hughes.
McRae, a native of Calgary, Alberta, received backlash for appearing in an ad for NBC featuring American athletes. She later clarified that she was ‘Canada down.’
