Katelyn Larson, girlfriend of Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams, has urged fans to respect her boundaries after experiencing uncomfortable interactions at her Vancouver tattoo studio.

In an Instagram Story on September 22, Larson addressed fans who had discovered her workplace through the hit series, explaining that some had crossed a line by visiting the studio because of her relationship with Williams.

"Obviously a lot of you have found the studio because of a certain show and that's more than okay," she wrote. "This is where I draw a very hard line: booking an appointment with me or anyone else purely because of the connection to the show crosses a huge territory."

Larson also highlighted concerns about fans questioning her colleagues about her personal life and relationship with the actor.

"Showing up to your appointment and asking my coworkers any sort of questions about myself or about Hudson is hugely uncomfortable for everyone."

The tattoo artist clarified that fans genuinely interested in her artwork or that of her colleagues remain welcome, but asked those visiting solely because of her connection to the show to stop.

Larson and Williams have been dating for years, before Heated Rivalry premiered in 2025. The actor's rising profile alongside co-star Connor Storrie has brought increased attention to his private life.

Williams previously told ETalk Canada that Larson prefers to avoid public attention, saying, "She's not trying to be out there or be perceived."

The couple made their first red carpet appearance together six months ago. Williams publicly celebrated Larson's birthday in August, sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
