A new celebrity relationship has emerged from the ashes of this year's fleet of breakups! Tate McRae seems to have moved on from her ex, The Kid LAROI, and is newly dating an NHL player named Jack Hughes. Which is obviously exciting for those of us whose algorithm consists of, ahem, hockey player warm up stretches on the ice.

Anyway, if all of this is brand new information to you, don't sweat it: Tate and Jack have only been an item for a minute. But here's everything we know, in timeline format, for pop cultural research purposes!

Tate is spotted on a what definitely looks like a cozy date with Jack at Anton's in NYC, and DeuxMoi gets some exclusive pics.

A source says "the entire restaurant was staring" at the pair, and that Jack "seemed nervous, like was looking around a lot when they first sat down."

Exactly a month after their first sighting, Tate is seen watching Jack at the New Jersey Devils hockey game.

Oh, and Jack's brother likes this post of Tate, fueling even more speculation that they're an item:

No word from Jack or Tate about their relationship, or whether or not they're even an item (it's possible they're simply friends, just saying), but stay tuned because we'll be throwing any/all available updates here.
