‘Off Campus’ Star Mika Abdalla & Fiancé Jake Short Break Up
Josh Heuston and Mika Abdalla might be in the yellow, yellow haze.
Less than a month after the Off Campus actress confirmed her split from fiancé Jake Short, she and Heuston stepped out together in Paris, fueling ongoing dating rumors.
In photos that began circulating social media June 22, Heuston and Abdalla display some subtle PDA while shopping at a store in the French capital. In one photo, Josh, sporting a pair of black slacks and a white T-shirt, wraps his arms around the nape of Abdalla’s neck, holding her face close to his.
Another photo sees Abdalla, who sports a red athletic set and fur-lined boots, grasp Heuston’s bicep as he stands with both hands on his hips.
The pair’s outing comes at the same time that Heuston—who portrays Justin Kohl in the Off Campus franchise—shared a behind-the-scenes look at his bond with his costars, including Abdalla, on Instagram. In fact, one photo from Heuston’s June 22 photo dump sees the duo sitting together in a pod on a plane.
Hueston’s post also proves the entire cast has remained close as filming for the show’s second season commenced earlier this month. In another photo, Abdalla—who will be promoted to a starring role as Allie Hayes in season two alongside love interest Dean DiLaurentis, played by Stephen Kalyn—sips on a drink in a pool alongside her on-and-off camera bestie Ella Bright, who portrays Hannah Wells in the series.
And while Heuston nor Abdalla have commented on the speculation of their romance, The Pitt actress previously emphasized how close the cast became while shooting season one of the Elle Kennedy adaptation.

“I cannot get enough of these people,” Abdalla told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published in May. “Truly on this press tour, I cannot imagine if I wasn’t immediately flying to Vancouver with all these people.”
No matter the status of her and Heuston’s romance, Abdalla’s new Off Campus chapter comes with the close of a personal one. Earlier this month, a rep for the actress confirmed she andShort—who met while filming the 2022 film Sex Appeal—had called off their engagement.
The rep added in a statement to Us Weekly, that the former couple “continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.”

Ella Bright
The New York-born, London-bred actress, who plays studious songwriter Hannah in Off Campus, appears to be single right now. But as a star of one of the buzziest shows on TV, she's ready for whatever happens next.
"None of this was in my plan at all,” Bright told Vanity Fair of her series' viral success. “It flipped my life upside down in the best way I could have ever dreamed about. Things are coming true for me that…I never thought could happen.”

Belmont Cameli
As BMOC hockey player Graham, Cameli has to prove to Hannah that he's all-star relationship material.
But in real life, the Illinois native has been teamed up with TV writer Raina Morris since at least March 2025, when Cameli subtly included her mid-photo carousel on Instagram.

Mika Abdalla
Abdalla—who as Hannah's BFF Allie melted the heart of Stephen Kalyn's Dean—was previously engaged IRL to her Sex Appeal costar Jake Short, however their breakup was confirmed in June 2026.
“Due to recent interest in Mika’s personal life,” Abdalla’s rep told Us Weekly, “it would feel remiss to not address that her and Jake are no longer together. They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.”

Stephen Kalyn
While Dean has had commitment issues, Kalyn's fiancée Victoria Lovatsis has been by his side since 2012.
In March 2024, Lovatsis flashed a diamond ring on her Instagram Stories—and it was on her finger at the Off Campus premiere in May, an event that Kalyn may have never even been at if not for her.
"My fiancée read the books a long time ago, and her favorite character was Dean,” the actor told Elite Daily. “So when they announced this show, she told me I had to audition. She said, ‘There’s no other option: You have to be Dean.’”

Antonio Cipriano
Garrett's thoughtful best friend John Logan is not one of the many campus lotharios. Nor is the Broadway alum who plays him, Cipriano having been in a relationship with actress Justine Verheul since 2023.
She marked "one year loving my favorite person in the world" in August 2024, and for the Cipriano's 25th birthday in May 2025, she wrote, "Happiest of birthdays to my life partner, travel buddy, and best friend. Celebrating you is so easy. so amazed by you everyday."

Jalen Thomas Brooks
This John Tucker is sweet and sensitive, and—not unlike Brooks' unaffectedly cool nurse Mateo on The Pitt—is ready for a romantic plotline down the road, when the Off Campus series gets to the Briar forward's love life.
And the same goes for Brooks, who appears to be romantically unattached IRL for now.
"I love a good slow burn," the L.A. native told The Hollywood Reporter "and the things that are set up for Tucker, of him becoming this gentle giant, I think fans are going to love."

Josh Heuston
The Australian actor won't be in season two of Off Campus, as Hannah realized that her crush Justin was not the guy for her.
But maybe Justin is just taking a gap year, since, as series creator Louisa Levy told TV Guide, "We never got a chance to meet Stella, who is the person he ends up with in the book. So maybe we’ll find a way to fold him into a future season.”
Heuston doesn’t appear to be coupled up off-camera, either, though he's looking forward to that chapter.
“At some point, I definitely just want the kids and the white picket fence and that sort of lifestyle,” Heuston told Esquire Australia in 2025. “But that feels quite far off right now. Who knows, though? In this life, I’ve found that things can change quickly.”
