Tate McRae and hockey star Jack Hughes have officially called it quits

Add Page Six on Google It’s all over before it started.

Tate McRae, 23, and boyfriend Jack Hughes have officially called it quits, Page Six can confirm; and the split appears to be icier than an ice hockey rink. We hear the NHL star, 25, has been blabbing to pals that he broke up with the “Exes” singer before they had a chance to publicly confirm their romance.

One source told us Hughes ultimately ended the relationship because he started seeing “red flags.” They added he has already moved on and has started dating other people. Meanwhile, sources close to McRae told Page Six it was her who pulled the plug.

The couple first fueled dating rumors when they were spotted out in NYC several times last year. McRae was spotted cheering him on at his hockey games, and spies also caught the duo “looking flirty” while having dinner at Anton’s in the West Village last winter.

Hughes reportedly pursued her by sliding into her DMs. After months specualting about whether or not they were an item, a source told Us Weekly in March, “They started casually seeing each other late last year, so it’s still new, but they are exclusively seeing each other.”

“[Tate] thinks [Jack] is a really cool guy and they have been having a lot of fun together,” the source said. “She has been so supportive of his career and has been loving going to the games and cheering him on.”

Rumors of the couple splitting hit fever pitch this week, after McRae was swept into a MAGA controversy, when Hughes and his New Jersey Devils teammates laughed at a joke President Donald Trump made during a call congratulating them on their Olympic win.

She addressed the controversy in an interview with Variety, explaining, “I like to say my piece through organizations I support and the environment that I have on tour,” she said. (McRae has supported nonprofits for LGBTW+ youth like The Trevor Project and female empowerment organizations such as the Global Fund for Women in the past).

“I think it’s pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support. And I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I’m putting my energy towards,” she added.

On Wednesday, the Hollywood trade presented her with the Triple Threat Award at their Power of Young Hollywood event. Reps for the exes did not comment on their split.
