Heated Rivalry: Here's all the tea from François Arnaud on WWHL

Is François Arnaud single right now?

Andy Cohen asked, "François, are you single these days?"

"None of your fucking business," Arnaud replied. Though the actor smiled at first, his facial expression changed pretty quickly to a more serious one.

"Ah! It's not, but I try," Cohen responded. "I gotta try, right Mary?"

Blige, laughing out loud and looking down, agreed: "Yes, you do."

Zooming out: Why did Andy Cohen ask François Arnaud if he's single?

The speculation surrounding François Arnaud's dating life has been a truly wild saga. For instance, a report from Page Six tied to the actor's appearance on Watch What Happens Live acknowledged that Arnaud's response to Cohen was meant to "harshly shut down" rumors that he's dating costar Connor Storrie (Ilya Rozanov on the show).

In the interest of respecting the actor's privacy — while outlining the events that brought up that question in the first place — see our primer below.

• François Arnaud was in a relationship with fellow actor Marc Bendavid for several years. Bendavid is best known for playing One/Jace Corso on Dark Matter.
• Arnaud deleted a few pictures on his Instagram page with Bendavid, as reported by Cosmopolitan, which have led to breakup rumors.
• However, the actor hasn't publicly acknowledged any breakup/split, nor did he disclose any new romantic partner since those breakup/split allegations.
• Arnaud is the only main actor in the Crave/HBO Max series to identify as an out bisexual man. None of his main costars on Heated Rivalry — Connor Storrie, Robbie G.K., and Hudson Williams — have disclosed any information about their sexualities.
• Nonetheless, fans have been speculating that Arnaud is dating one of his main Heated Rivalry costars ever since the show premiered. The two biggest rumors involve Robbie G.K. (Kip Grady on the show) and Connor Storrie (Ilya Rozanov). It bears repeating that this is all based on social media pictures and posts, and that neither G.K. nor Storrie have ever identified as non-straight.

François Arnaud plays 'shag, marry, or kill' for the lead Heated Rivalry characters.

Cohen brought up a fan question that read, "If you had to 'Shag, Marry, or Kill' the Heated Rivalry characters Ilya, Shane, and Kip, what would you do?"

"Oh God," Arnaud replied. "Kill Shane, too weird. Shag Ilya. Marry Kip.

Cohen reacted, "All right, I love it! There you go."

The actor confirmed that Scott Hunter and Kip Grady will return — maybe on Heated Rivalry season 2; or even on a spinoff.

A fan asked Arnaud if the love story between his character (Scott Hunter) and Robbie G.K.'s character (Kip Grady) will continue their love story in season 2 of the Heated Rivalry TV show. Otherwise, is the couple really being considered for a spinoff series of their own?

"Oh, I'm hearing all sorts of things. For sure you will see more of them," Arnaud replied. "Whether it's in the main show, or in a spin-off, it remains to be… I'm as anxious as you to know."

Helen Hunt slid into François Arnaud's Instagram DMs.

Best known for starring in 1996's Twister, 1997's As Good as It Gets, and bringing the character of Jamie Buchman to life on Mad About You, actress Helen Hunt seems to have slid into Arnaud's DMs.

"Never have I ever had a famous celebrity or public figure slide into my DMs," Cohen prompted as a question to Arnaud.

The actor replied, "I'll name…Helen Hunt slid into my DMs."

"Really? And said what?" Cohen asked.

Arnaud responded, "She said 'I love you in this and everything else,' which means that she's like going through my filmography.

François Arnaud is a big spoon, a 'big crier,'  and loves puppies.

"What is the last thing that made you cry?" Cohen asked.

Arnaud said, "Oh, I cry every day, all the time, [so] I don't know."

"Are you a big crier?" Cohen followed up.

Arnaud confirmed, "I'm a big crier. I didn't cry up until I was like 25, and then I just started then, and haven't stopped."

"Do you prefer to be the big spoon or the little spoon?" Cohen asked.

Arnaud said, "Big spoon 'cause I like to touch."

"Kittens or puppies?" Cohen asked.

Arnaud replied, "Oh, puppies! Kittens are just like planning to murder you. Also, I'm allergic to them."

François Arnaud and Andy Cohen filmed an "I'll Believe in Anything" bit.

Arnaud and Cohen filmed a behind-the-scenes bit during his appearance on Watch What Happens Live in which the actor stumbled upon Cohen in his dressing room.

Upon seeing the Heated Rivalry star, Cohen revealed that he was wearing the Scott Hunter "banana socks." The bit ended with Arnaud going into Cohen's dressing room — all to the tune of "I'll Believe in Anything" by Wolf Parade, which is Scott Hunter and Kip Grady's main song on the TV shows.

Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen is streaming on Peacock.
