It\u2019s all over before it started.<\/p>\n

Tate McRae, 23, and boyfriend Jack Hughes have officially called it quits, Page Six can confirm; and the split appears to be icier than an ice hockey rink. We hear the NHL star, 25, has been blabbing to pals that he broke up with the \u201cExes\u201d singer before they had a chance to publicly confirm their romance.<\/p>\n

One source told us Hughes ultimately ended the relationship because he started seeing \u201cred flags.\u201d They added he has already moved on and has started dating other people. Meanwhile, sources close to McRae told Page Six it was her who pulled the plug.<\/p>\n

The couple first fueled dating rumors when they were spotted out in NYC<\/a> several times last year. McRae was spotted cheering him on at his New Jersey Devils games, and spies also caught the duo \u201clooking flirty\u201d while having dinner at Anton\u2019s in the West Village last winter.<\/p>\n

Hughes reportedly pursued her by sliding into her DMs<\/a>. After months of the public hypothesizing whether they were an item, a source told Us Weekly in March, \u201cThey started casually seeing each other late last year, so it\u2019s still new, but they are exclusively seeing each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Tate] thinks [Jack] is a really cool guy and they have been having a lot of fun together,\u201d the source said. \u201cShe has been so supportive of his career and has been loving going to the games and cheering him on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rumors of the couple splitting hit fever pitch this week when Variety asked McRae about speculation that she\u2019s a MAGA supporter<\/a>. Hughes was at the center of the rumor: When he and his fellow Team USA members took a congratulatory phone call from President Donald Trump after winning gold, the team laughed as the president made a joke denigrating the women\u2019s hockey team, which had also won gold.<\/p>\n

McRae told Variety, \u201cI like to say my piece through organizations I support and the environment that I have on tour.\u201d The story noted some profits from her last tour were donated to LGBTQ youth nonprofit the Trevor Project and to the Global Fund for Women.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support. And I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I\u2019m putting my energy towards,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Hollywood trade presented her with the Triple Threat Award at their Power of Young Hollywood event. <\/p>\n
