Off Campus' Ella Bright Reacts to Fans "Shipping" Her & Belmont Cameli

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

Ella Bright is shipping this bout of wishful thinking off to the penalty box.

After all, the Off Campus actress shared her thoughts on some fans wanting her and costar Belmont Cameli to date, just like their onscreen characters theatre major Hannah Wells and hockey star Garrett Graham.

"It's very funny," Bright, 19, said on the July 3 episode of the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast. "The press tour, I thought people were like, 'Oh, I love that they're just promoting this as friends.' 'Cause that's what it was, of course."

However, she understands why viewers might make assumptions about her friendship with Cameli, 28—who is in a relationship with TV writer Raina Morris—since Hannah and Garrett's game-winning romance takes center ice in season one of the Prime Video series.

"I totally get it," the Crown alum explained. "But it is so weird. I'm like, 'No. That's literally my brother.' Also, he has a perfect, beautiful, amazing girlfriend who is my angel on earth."

She concluded, "I love him so much, but yeah, it's very funny."

As for whether Bright has her own MVP? She's more focused on enjoying the meteoric success of the hockey romance based on Elle Kennedy's five-book series of the same name.

"I'm single," she confirmed. "Not ready to mingle. I love being single."

"This kind of big change in life is just really nice—to just be doing it for myself and also just trying to sit with it," she reflected. "I'm already trying to make my way through it."

And when Bright is ready to drop the puck for a relationship, it likely won't be a costar.

"I don't think so," she said of the idea. "I don't know if I would date actors."

However, she's not totally against the idea, adding, "Maybe if I meet the right person. Who knows?"

Bright isn't the only Off Campus star who's been embracing her single era.

In fact, Mika Abdalla—whose character Allie Hayes has the central romance in season two opposite Stephen Kalyn's hockey defenseman Dean Di Laurentis—confirmed that she and Jake Short ended their engagement in June.

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

But the Pitt actress doesn't appear to have the same playbook as Ella, since she has continued to fuel dating rumors with costar Josh Heuston after they stepped out together in Paris.
