Tate McRae just became single again, and her fans want the receipts. Reports broke on August 7 that the pop star and New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes have called off their relationship after less than a year together, and the timing has everyone digging back through her romantic history.
McRae has never exactly kept her love life out of the public eye, even when she’s tried to. Between chart-topping breakup anthems like Exes and a string of high-profile boyfriends, her relationships tend to become pop culture events whether she wants them to or not. So with Hughes reportedly out of the picture, here’s a full rundown of who the singer has dated before.
From Jonny Hader to Cole Sillinger
McRae’s first known relationship was with fellow Calgary native Jonny Hader, whom she dated from 2019 to 2021. The two kept things low-key, and Hader even worked as the camera operator on her 2020 single You Broke Me First before they eventually split.
After that came NHL player Cole Sillinger, whom she started seeing in 2021. McRae later explained the Columbus Blue Jackets center was connected through her brother’s friend group. The pair went public with a Cabo trip in August 2022 and a Jason Wu runway show that September, but they appear to have broken up sometime in 2023.
The Kid Laroi Era
McRae’s most publicized relationship was with Australian singer The Kid Laroi, whom she’d actually known for years before they got together.
They were first linked in January 2024, and Laroi called her his girlfriend from the stage during a Dublin show that April. Their romance became Instagram official that summer, and by August, she was bringing him out as a surprise guest at Madison Square Garden.
Things stayed steady through early 2025, with red-carpet appearances, a joint single titled I Know Love, and a trip to the French Open in matching outfits. But by July 2025, signs of a breakup surfaced after Laroi publicly denied encouraging fans to harass McRae online, writing that the two were on good terms despite the messy optics.
Neither has formally confirmed the split, though McRae later told Rolling Stone that navigating a public breakup had been scary and overwhelming.
What’s Really Going On With Jack Hughes
McRae’s most recent relationship was with Hughes, and it moved fast once it started. The two were first spotted at dinner in New York in November 2025, and by February 2026, sources confirmed they were officially dating, even as insiders described the dynamic as casual on her end.
Now, Page Six reports the pair has quietly split, with conflicting accounts over who ended things. One source claims Hughes noticed red flags, while another says McRae pulled the plug herself.
Fueling the rumors further, Hughes was reportedly spotted acting very single at a New Jersey bar with teammates before the breakup reports surfaced, and the two were seen standing apart at Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons.
Neither McRae nor Hughes has addressed the split publicly, so for now, fans are left piecing together the timeline from sightings and sources. Given how quickly this romance developed, don’t be shocked if an official statement or a very telling song follows soon.
