Jack Hughes Reacts to Interest in Private Life, Tate McRae Dating Rumors

Jack Hughes is keeping details about his personal life in a neutral zone. 

Months after the New Jersey Devils player and Tate McRae were first linked, he addressed how he navigates newfound interest in what he does off the ice. 

“I’m a pretty normal guy,” Hughes told E! News in an exclusive interview at the TIME100 Sports Gala July 16. “I’m just doing my thing—hanging with my family, my friends. Being who I am and that’s about it.”

And while the NHL player—who was honored alongside fellow athletes like Jalen Brunson, Alysa Liu and LeBron James at the event—wasn’t spilling any details about his possible romance with the “Tit for Tat” singer, he shared a bit of insight into how he’s enjoying the offseason. 

“So many rounds of golf, honestly,” the 25-year-old mused, reiterating that he’s spent a lot of time with his close knit circle. “The Fourth of July was awesome back home. I’m lucky I’ve had a great summer and now it’s time to get back at it.”
