Hudson Williams made his red carpet debut with his girlfriend Katelyn Larson at the Vanity Fair party on Sunday evening in .
The Heated Rivalry star, 25, has so far kept his romance largely under wraps, sharing minimal social media photos of the couple together.
Hudson, who has amassed a legion of fans since appearing on the queer hockey romance series, first revealed he was in a relationship on Valentine's Day.
Breaking the hearts of many, he 'hard launched' his tattoo artist partner on social media before bringing her to the swanky Hollywood event this weekend.
Ahead of the party appearance, Hudson spoke on the Oscars red carpet about how his partner prefers privacy and said his fans have been supportive of her.
Discussing how fans reacted after he publicly introduced her on social media, Hudson spoke to Canadian entertainment show etalk's presenter Tyrone Edward.
Tyrone asked him: 'Since you posted your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day… what have the DMs been like?'

Hudson said he 'hadn't even checked his DMs', before adding: 'Just to see everyone kind of take her in in stride and all the lovely fans supporting her—
'Even though she’s not trying to be out there or be perceived. She's always like, "I don’t want to be perceived!"'
'They’re still just being really warm, from what I’ve been told, and that’s really nice.'
Hudson and Katelyn both opted for seriously daring looks, with the actor showing off his muscular frame in a sleeveless sheer top and black trousers.
Hudson's blouse also featured a trailing scarf for added drama.
Meanwhile, Katelyn flashed her toned midriff in a see-through lacy black dress which left little to the imagination.
Hudson was also pictured at the party with his co-star Connie Storrie, who plays his on-screen lover and hockey rival, Ilya Rozanov.
Based on the Game Changers books by Rachel Reid, the show followed a secret affair between two sportsmen who play for different teams.
Hudson, plays Shane Hollander, the captain of the Montreal Metros, opposite Connor as Ilya , captain of the Boston Raiders.

The chemistry and sex scenes between the two leads left fans in a frenzy, with public scrutiny zeroing in on the love lives of the actors.
Hudson, who recently shot to prominence on the steamy series, confirmed his romance with Katelyn just weeks ago.
Although Hudson has staunchly kept his personal life private, he posted a collage of images of his girlfriend to his Instagram Stories to wish her a happy Valentine's Day.
He refrained from revealing her name or when they got together, but established that they enjoy a longstanding relationship, writing that she has been 'With me since my 2000 gold Mazda protege smoked and squealed and I had no job.'
In a heartwarming touch, he slipped in a photo of his girlfriend seated in a restaurant beside Connor, who had a heart drawn around his face.
Other pictures showed Hudson and his girlfriend cuddling up to one another for the camera, and he also included a screen-grab of one of their video calls.
Katelyn previously made an appearance in an Instagram album Hudson posted January 31, documenting a trip they took to Italy.
Connor made an appearance in that album too, in a sweet video that showed him sharing an ice cream sundae with Hudson's girlfriend in a restaurant.
Hudson has generally remained tight-lipped about his personal life, which has been the subject of fevered speculation since Heated Rivalry made him a sex symbol.
In December a rumour surfaced that Hudson was clandestinely dating a female tattoo artist who had given him and Connor their matching ink of the phrase: 'Sex Sells,' in a viral clip of the Deux U podcast from the gossip page DeuxMoi.
The video - in which the acting on Heated Rivalry was also sharply criticized - came in for a deluge of backlash and was ultimately deleted, but not before Hudson commented: 'You know what, I’ve grown quite unfond of you deuxmoi.'

Meanwhile Connor recently found himself trailed by dating rumours with his bisexual Heated Rivalry co-star Francois Arnaud, a French Canadian actor who plays Scott Hunter, captain of yet another hockey team, the New York Admirals.
However the Daily Mail exclusively reported last month that Arnaud was glimpsed getting handsy at a Golden Globes afterparty with another Heated Rivalry actor called Robbie G.K., who features as barista Kip Grady.
Hudson and Connor have both maintained that their close bond is strictly platonic, in spite of the enthusiasm of online fans hoping for them to become an item.
'Hudson is my best friend, and I literally can’t fathom doing this without him,' Connor explained as the popularity of the show exploded, via W magazine.
'We were both in similar places in life before this. We quit our jobs within a day of each other. We booked this and flew out the same day. Now it’s turning into two people who are being seen internationally for the first time. This has been the highlight of my life, and meeting Hudson makes that 10 times sweeter.'
Hudson meanwhile said: 'I want queer people telling queer stories, but also, there’s the element of Connor and I - we’re best friends, and we love expressing that physically,' in an interview with Deadline.
'You see people who infer or assume, and you kind of have to let that go. But then again, I never wanna stop expressing the love I have for Connor physically, and I’m never really going to, and I think multiple things can be true at once.'
