Mika Abdalla, who publicly ended her relationship with Jake Short a few weeks ago and is now filming season two of Prime Video's Off Campus, was thrust into fresh romance speculation on June 16 when Sydney radio show 2DayFM Breakfast said it had sources confirming she and Josh Heuston are dating.
The claim was delivered on air by presenter Emma Chow, who told listeners, "We have our own sources that say that it is true that Mika and Josh are dating." Producer CJ supplied the program's nearest corroboration: "Yes, so one of my friends works at a high luxury brand and someone very close to Josh attended a show with the luxury brand, and the rumours have spread, and the person may have confirmed it."
Those on‑air remarks are the clearest public assertion to date that the actors who play Allie and Justin on Off Campus are an item off screen. The program aired its statement on June 16, after fans had already been circulating speculation following the series' May premiere and Abdalla's break with Short.
The timing matters. Viewers began noticing on‑screen chemistry between Abdalla and Heuston after the show debuted, and fan edits and social chatter accelerated after Abdalla and Short announced the end of their relationship on Instagram Stories a few weeks earlier. Those developments set the scene for a radio show to claim it had sources that backed up what fans had been saying.
But the radio account rests on secondhand sourcing rather than a statement from either actor. Neither Abdalla nor Heuston has addressed the rumours on social media. Heuston, notably, will not be returning as Justin for season two, which reduces the likelihood of new joint set photos that might confirm or refute the reports; Abdalla is continuing with the production and will lead the new season alongside co‑star Stephen Kalyn.
The strongest detail aired by 2DayFM was a social trail: a luxury‑brand event attended by someone described as "very close" to Heuston, relayed through a producer's friend. That kind of chain—fans, press appearances, a third‑party sighting, and a radio presenter's sources—gives the story momentum without delivering direct verification from the principal parties.
For fans of Off Campus the stakes are simple. A confirmed off‑set relationship between two lead performers would reframe how viewers read scenes between Allie and Justin and would likely intensify attention on casting and publicity for season two, especially with Heuston absent from the returning roster. For Abdalla the rumours arrive during an already public moment: she is filming the new season and stepping into a larger lead role with Kalyn.
The unresolved point is equally simple: the report is unverified. The presenters offered names and a referral to an event; they did not offer a direct quote from Abdalla or Heuston or documentary evidence. Until one of those actors speaks or clearer, verifiable evidence appears, the claim stands as an unconfirmed account broadcast by 2DayFM.
What happens next will decide whether the story remains gossip or becomes a confirmed development. Either Abdalla or Heuston would need to comment publicly, the show would need to present clearer, verifiable sourcing, or new, unmistakable evidence would have to surface. Absent any of those actions, the claim will continue to circulate among fans and media as an allegation rather than a confirmed relationship.
