But any lingering drama seems well and truly in the rearview mirror. The\u00a0Off Campus\u00a0fandom\u00a0 was in a celebratory mood on June 22 when a TikTok account tracking the cast posted a candid image of Abdalla and Heuston embracing. Abdalla, dressed in a crop top and low-rise red leggings, was captured craning her head back for a kiss from the 29-year-old Australian actor, casually dressed in black track pants and a loose white T-shirt. Heuston had his hands in her hair and was leaning in, a pretty intimate gesture for a colleague. A second image showed Mika resting her hand on Heuston\u2019s arm as they pondered their choices. For eagle-eyed viewers tracking their exact Parisian itinerary, the new couple appeared to be picking up a celebratory bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin. As one FauxMoi <\/a>fan said: \u201d\u00a0Even if it\u2019s just a fling I hope they have a BALL in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n This European getaway follows weeks of digital breadcrumbs noticed by fans, including a cosy business-class dispatch shared by Heuston five weeks ago showing the pair side-by-side in their cabin beds.<\/p>\n Rumours have been swirling around the pair \u2014 who play Allie Hayes and the enigmatic, guitar-shredding Australian rockstar Justin Kohl in the screen adaptation \u2014 ever since Abdalla\u2019s high-profile split from her fianc\u00e9 of five years, actor Jake Short. On June 1, Abdalla\u2019s representative officially confirmed the end of their engagement to Us Weekly<\/a>, stating that the pair \u201ccontinue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n While the breakup was handled with mutual maturity, fans on Reddit\u2019s Fauxmoi network quickly pointed to a rocky lead-up to the split, citing a controversial snippet from Short\u2019s podcast Sit and Chat, where he casually referred to Abdalla as \u201csome bitch\u201d during an April episode titled \u201cCouple\u2019s Therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n But any lingering drama seems well and truly in the rearview mirror. While neither Heuston or Aballa has publicly addressed the relationship status, on June 16, Sydney\u2019s 2DayFM Breakfast with Nath & Emma seemed to confirm the romance via an industry insider.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been rumours swirling for a couple of weeks now that two Off Campus stars are dating in real life,\u201d co-host Emma Chow teased on air, before turning to show producer CJ.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of my friends works at a high-end luxury brand, and someone very close to Josh Heuston attended a show for that luxury brand, and the rumours have now spread,\u201d producer CJ shared. \u201cThat person may have confirmed it.\u201d<\/p>\n In Josh Heuston\u2019s exclusive cover feature for ELLE Australia\u2019s ELLE Man<\/a>, the former Heartbreak High star opened up about the rare magic of old-school, real-world attraction.<\/p>\n \u201cGiven our dating culture is so online today, it\u2019s nice to see people actively pursue someone,\u201d Heuston told ELLE, noting how refreshing it is to see characters \u201cliving romantically and dangerously.\u201d Reflecting on a scene in Off Campus where co-star Ella Bright\u2019s character approaches him in a caf\u00e9, Heuston mused on the death of the real-life meet-cute. \u201cNo-one approaches anyone like that anymore. There\u2019s something special about meeting someone in person. You get that first interaction where you can\u2019t stop looking at each other, or you just want to talk all night.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked if he practices what he preaches, the actor admitted he is a romantic at heart, even revealing a deeply old-school courtship method: \u201cI kept a pen pal for a while \u2014 a girl I was talking to. We wrote letters and emails back and forth while I was travelling.\u201d<\/p>\n Viewing the new Paris photos, it seems that exact \u201ccan\u2019t stop looking at each other\u201d spark is precisely what brought him and Abdalla together on set.<\/p>\n Abdalla is currently preparing to lead Off Campus Season 2 alongside co-star Stephen Kalyn (as the show pivots its focus to Allie and Dean\u2019s storyline from Elle Kennedy\u2019s novel The Score), Meanwhile, Heuston, who made his global debut as the ambitious Constantine in Dune: Prophecy and enjoys a partnership with Hugo Boss, will not be returning for the second season due to a scheduling conflict. Heuston remains a number-one fan-cast frontrunner to play the dark, brooding lead Xaden Riorson in Amazon\u2019s highly anticipated Fourth Wing<\/a> television series.<\/p>\n Neither camp has returned requests for official comment, but for now, it\u2019s safe to say the Off Campus fandom is officially looking to Paris for their ultimate romantic inspiration.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\tSenior Writer, Fashion + Beauty\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Sign up for our newsletter<\/p>\n Sign up for the latest news from ELLE including offers and discounts we choose to share with you<\/p>\n By joining, you agree to our Privacy Policy<\/a> & Terms of Use<\/a><\/p>\n About your privacy Are Media Pty Limited collects your personal information through this site to process registrations, send out newsletters, communicate offers, discounts, competitions, or surveys, and to provide you with targeted advertising based on your online activities.
