François Arnaud shuts down romance question on WWHL amid Connor Storrie rumors

François Arnaud firmly shut down questions about his personal life during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday, as online speculation about his romantic life continues to circulate.

When host Andy Cohen asked whether the Heated Rivalry star was “single these days,” Arnaud responded bluntly, telling Cohen it was “none of your f–king business.” The comment drew laughter from fellow guest Mary J. Blige, while Arnaud declined to elaborate further. Cohen attempted to lighten the moment with a joke, but the actor maintained his boundary.

The exchange quickly went viral on social media, with many fans praising Arnaud for asserting his privacy. Some viewers described the response as confident and refreshing, while others criticized it as unnecessarily rude. The moment came amid heightened attention surrounding Arnaud’s personal life following recent dating rumors involving his Heated Rivalry co-star Connor Storrie.

Arnaud, 40, and Storrie were photographed together at JFK Airport last week, sparking speculation online. The rumors intensified existing fan discourse, particularly among viewers who have closely followed the series and its cast. Storrie stars on the show alongside Hudson Williams, whose on-screen pairing has also fueled fan speculation and online shipping culture.

In recent interviews, Arnaud has addressed the darker side of the show’s success. He revealed that he has experienced online harassment and even death threats, prompting him to reconsider his living situation and social media presence. The actor said he plans to move into a building with a doorman and is in the process of unfollowing accounts online to protect his privacy.

Arnaud emphasized that while many fans have been respectful, others struggle to separate fiction from reality, underscoring his desire for clearer boundaries as the series continues to gain popularity.
