Tate McRae is “exclusively” dating Team USA gold medalist Jack Hughes, who triumphed over the pop star’s native Canada when he scored the winning goal.
The “Sports Car” singer, 22, and 24-year-old New Jersey Devils center — first spotted together in New York City in December — “are exclusively seeing each other,” an insider told Us Weekly.
“They started casually seeing each other late last year, so it’s still new,” the source said of the burgeoning relationship, which McRae feels is “going well so far.”
The Olympian — who the Grammy nominee finds “really cool” and “really sweet” — was the one to start their courtship, having “initially messaged her on IG.”
The source shared that the two “have been having a lot of fun together” and McRae “has been loving going to the games and cheering him on,” though they “hope to have more time together” in the postseason.
Hughes’ gold-winning goal, which he made nearly two minutes into overtime, marked a first for Team USA in 46 years, which last won a gold medal in 1980.
Hughes’ success on the ice last month has been immortalized, in no small part, by a photo of his bloodied smile and broken front tooth.
Though he told “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” this week that he doesn’t “want to spend time in the dentist chair, obviously,” Hughes assured viewers that the busted teeth “won’t be my thing.”
Hughes appeared on the late night show with big brother and Olympic teammate Quinn and women’s team captain Hilary Knight.
