    Watch: Why ‘Off Campus’ Stars Josh Heuston, Mika Abdalla Are Sparking Romance Rumors

    Allie Hayes is heading towards the spotlight.

    Mika Abdalla shared insight into what fans can expect from her character in season two of the beloved season Off Campus, which will see Allie and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) take center stage. 

    But while Allie was the eternally supportive, dramatic theater major best friend to Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) in season one, she will have more to grapple with in the next installment.

    “It’s a lot more emotionally turbulent,” Abdalla told Vogue India of season two in an interview published Sept. 1. “So you lose some of that fun, best-friend energy.”

    Nevertheless, the Allie Hayes fans adore hasn’t gone far.

    “I check in to ensure I’m hitting important character beats,” the 26-year-old continued, “but still incorporating the parts of Allie that people love.”

    One thing that will remain the same? Allie’s fan-coveted, long curly locks. After all, it was Abdalla’s own hair.

    “It’s just my haircut,” she revealed of the much talked about hairstyle. “I’ve had it since I moved to LA.”

    Adding that it was “so sweet” for the Off Campus team to let her keep her natural hair for the series, she did assure fans she doesn’t always leave the house looking that effortless in IRL. 

    “It does not look the way it does on Allie,” she admitted. “Even 20 percent of the time.”

    But while Abdalla and Kalyn’s onscreen chemistry as Allie and Dean has already become the stuff of legend among fans, in real life Abdalla’s love life has struck a chord with a different Off Campus cast member: Josh Heuston, who played musician heartthrob Justin in season one. 

    Though the pair haven’t officially addressed their relationship, they were recently holding hands and exchanging sweet kisses while on a stroll in Vancouver, where Off Campus films.

    Abdalla was previously engaged to Jake Short—whom she starred alongside in 2022’s Sex Appeal—before the pair called off their engagement earlier this year.

    “Due to recent interest in Mika’s personal life, it would feel remiss to not address that her and Jake are no longer together,” her rep told Us Weekly in June. “They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.”

    As for where the rest of the Off Campus cast stand in their love lives, read on.

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.”

    Stephen KalynWhile 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.’”

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.

    Jalen Thomas BrooksThis 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 HeustonThe 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.”
