Josh Heuston confirms romance with Off Campus co-star Mika Abdalla as they get cosy in Paris - just weeks after she called off her engagement

Josh Heuston appears to have confirmed romance rumours with his Off Campus co-star Mika Abdalla after they were photographed together looking affectionate in Paris.

The Australian model, 29, who stars as Justin Kohl in the Amazon Prime smash-hit series, was spotted wrapping his arm around the American actress as they browsed a convenience store in the French capital.

In one image, Josh gently held Mika close as they stood together at the checkout.

Another photograph showed Mika resting her hand on Josh's arm while the pair chatted as they waited to pay.

The candid images quickly sparked excitement online, with fans convinced the on-screen co-stars have taken their romance off-screen.

Josh also shared a photo of the pair on a plane alongside co-star Dean Di Laurentis actor Stephen Kalyn.

The couple have been at the centre of romance rumours for weeks after Mika announced that she was ending her engagement with actor Jake Short.

An industry source close to Josh told Daily Mail that the pair have been 'inseparable' since filming wrapped - and hinted that Mika will soon be heading to Australia to meet Heuston's friends after she wraps production on the second season. 

Short and Abdalla co-starred in the 2022 Hulu teen comedy Sex Appeal and ignited an offscreen romance that lent a bit of added sizzle to their onscreen chemistry.

His manager confirmed last year that Short, 29, and Abdalla had gotten engaged - only for her representative to disclose this month that they have since split. 

An insider recently told the Daily Mail that Abdalla and Short 'simply grew apart because of what is happening professionally, with some deeply personal things sprinkled in as well.'

They added: 'From Mika's perspective especially, her career has become a much larger priority, and over time those changing priorities led the romantic feelings between them to fade.'

Mika has seen her profile skyrocket since her starring turn in Off Campus.  

Based on a series of hit novels by Elle Kennedy, Off Campus premiered on Amazon Prime Video last month and was instantly showered with acclaim.

Ella Bright leads the show as a music major called Hannah, who strikes up a fake relationship with her college's hockey star Garrett (Belmont Cameli) in order to inflame the jealousy of the actual object of her affections, Justin (Josh Heuston).

Sparks inevitably fly between Garrett and Hannah when she tutors him for one of his classes as payback for his participation in her ruse.

Abdalla features on the show as Hannah's roommate and best friend Allie Hayes, a key supporting part that has propelled her to new heights of notoriety.

Meanwhile, Josh's love life is no stranger to the spotlight.

He was previously linked to Melbourne-born model Carla Martinez from 2022 to 2025.

Before that he had a highly publicised relationship with Aussie YouTuber Cartia Mallan, which ended amidst significant public scrutiny.
