Heated Rivalry lookalike winners Aram Matagi and Felix Eller were spotted locking lips again at a hockey game in Boston.

Over the weekend, the Shane and Ilya doubles were seen at a Professional Women’s Hockey League game between the Montréal Victoire and the Boston Fleet.

This marks one of the first times Matagi and Eller have been seen together since winning the Heated Rivalry look-alike competition in Washington, D.C. last week.

Hosted at Wunder Garten DC, New Yorkers gathered to be crowned Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie doubles, showing off their similarities, from physique to hair.

Matagi and Eller won the competition and, after taking their shirts off, locked lips to celebrate their look-alike victory.

They were spotted kissing once again, similarly to characters Scott (François Arnaud) and Kip (Robbie GK) in the show, the victors smooched on the jumbotron screen wearing their doubles’s hockey jerseys.

What happens in episode 5 of Heated Rivalry?

This was a full-circle moment for the pair after Matagi told street interviewer ‘Lucy in Love his favourite episode of the six-part series was episode five, particularly the moment when Scott comes out by kissing his boyfriend, Kip, on the ice.

Adding to the Heated Rivalry plot on their date, the doppelgängers met actress Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, who plays Svetlana in the gay hockey romance series.

The pair posted a photo of themselves looking cosy at the hockey game, with their arms wrapped around each other by the rink.

Have they filmed season 2 of Heated Rivalry?

The pair have recently been spotted together in public, notably in an interview with Washington DC clothing shop REDDz Trading, where they were asked about their outfits.

At the time of winning the Heated Rivalry look-alike competition, both were wearing green wristbands, which meant they were single.

With Heated Rivalry series two gearing up for production in August 2026, the second season has been confirmed to stream on Sky and NOW in the UK following its renewal, with a release set for next spring.
