Mike Abdalla is reportedly dating Josh Heuston, as per sources who spoke to US Weekly. The report comes after the outlet revealed that Abdalla had split from her former boyfriend, Jake Short. The former couple met on the set of S** Appeal in 2021.

As for Abdalla and Heuston, the two were reportedly spotted together in Paris by fans, as per Us Weekly. However, neither actor has commented on the dating rumors. The pair first met while filming Season 1 of Off Campus. Abdalla plays Allie Hayes, while Heuston portrays Justin.

The character Justin appears as the crush of the main character, Hannah, played by Ella Bright, but is left heartbroken after she chooses Garrett instead. Speaking about Justin's future, Heuston said he hopes the character eventually finds peace with the situation. He added that Justin might channel his heartbreak into writing some good songs.
