Hudson Williams sweetly wishes 'my person' Katelyn Larson a happy birthday

Hudson Williams shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to his girlfriend Katelyn Larson, calling her "my person" in a sweet message posted to his Instagram Stories.

The Heated Rivalry star marked Larson's birthday by sharing a photo of her looking out over a rocky landscape at sunset. The image was accompanied by a lengthy message about his love for her and the special place she holds in his life.

"I've loved people deeply for a day, for a week and some for years but I'll love her until I die," Williams wrote. "Not because I'm supposed to, or because that's how I was raised, but because every time she smiles I see the little girl whose joy is so unpolluted."

He finished the message with a simple birthday wish: "happy birthday to my person."

Williams also added Barry James' "Riverside," featuring Lana Del Rey, to the Instagram Story. The song's lyrics about loving someone deeply and following them down a red dirt road accompanied the personal tribute.

Williams has become one of the breakout stars of Heated Rivalry, the hockey romance series based on Rachel Reid's bestselling Game Changers novels. He stars as Shane Hollander, a Canadian hockey player whose secret relationship with Russian rival Ilya Rozanov, played by Connor Storrie, forms the centre of the series.

The show became a major streaming hit following its debut, with Williams and Storrie attracting a rapidly growing international fanbase. Williams' portrayal of Shane has also turned him into a breakout heartthrob, with the actor receiving increased attention across social media and from fans of the books.

Heated Rivalry has since been renewed for a second season, with Williams set to return as Shane. The show's success has also brought considerably more attention to Williams' personal life, making his rare glimpses into his relationship with Larson particularly notable.
