Jack Hughes Girlfriend Rumors Grow as Tate McRae Stuns in Vintage Victoria’s Secret Dress
jack hughes girlfriend chatter resurfaced this week after Tate McRae turned heads in a vintage Victoria’s Secret minidress timed for Valentine’s season, renewing attention on past sightings that linked the global music sensation to New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Olympic spotlight and a U. S. team pushing toward knockouts
Team USA men's hockey team, loaded with talent, has already shown its offense in the preliminary round at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, dominating Latvia by a score of 5-12 and, in a separate match, battling Denmark while holding a 4-3 lead in the third period. The performances keep the conversation alive that Hughes might be the difference maker if and when the Americans advance to the knockout round, given his track record of coming up big in clutch situations.
Jack Hughes Girlfriend: the sightings that started the rumors
The dating speculation traces back to an intimate dinner date in New York City in November of last year that featured McRae and Hughes together. McRae later attended Hughes' first game after he suffered an injury at the end of 2025, and that appearance increased fan belief they were a couple. McRae has been active on social media on Valentine's Day, though her posts do not refer to Hughes in any way.
McRae’s look: vintage Victoria’s Secret with romance-core details
On the style side, McRae leaned into soft-glam romance with a vintage Victoria’s Secret black-hued minidress. The sleeveless dress had sleek straps and a deep V-shaped neckline with scalloped trims, and it mixed a lingerie-coded aesthetic with a throwback twist timed for Valentine’s season. The outfit included a lacy element that showed off her toned legs and curves, paired with matching sheer black stockings and black pointed-toe pumps.
Accessories, hair and makeup that completed the ensemble
McRae kept accessories minimal: delicate gold earrings, a matching gold watch, and a matching ring. Her blonde locks were styled sleek, and her makeup used light foundation, bronzer on the sides, pink blush, light shiny eyeshadow with mascara-coated lashes, and a nude lip with gloss—choices that underscored the romance-core look while keeping focus on the vintage minidress.
