Huddy and I are leaving for Milan, but I promise that as soon as we're back in LA, we'll get together for dinner and drinks, all three of us, okay? I know we promised, but things got a lot crazier than either of us planned, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down for either of us. Though, I have a feeling it's going to be slowing down more for me than it will be for him, since he's the hot one right now. But either way, we will get together and you will come to see my new apartment! How are you though, babe? What's been going on while you've been in LA? Please, fill me in on everything I've been missing out on. / @kseniadk

I hope you and Hudson have a good time in Milan. I hope his walk goes smoothly, and I heard rumors you might walk tomorrow? If you do, good luck to you as well, handsome. But yes, as soon as you guys are back in LA, let me know and we'll do dinner and drinks. Hey, you don't have to explain, you guys are the moment right now, and I understand how busy you are. And please, you're just as much the hot one right now as he is, you both are booked and busy. I also can't wait to see your new apartment, I know I'm going to love it. I'm doing good, I've been having fun in LA. Making new friends, having a good time, and networking. Also been looking for a place to move to and getting all the info about how to move from Canada to LA too. It's not as bad as I thought!

how many people come to you to ask you how to pronounce your last name? is it loads or am i just thick? really am exposing myself here but need your help here, miss. i always hate it when people get me name wrong, so don't wanna be making the same mistakes here. / @kseniadk

A lot of people ask me how to pronounce my first and last names, honestly. A lot of people don't know how to say Ksenia right, but my last name is hard, so I can understand that part. But it's khar-LAH-moh-va, so once you get used to saying it, I feel like it flows pretty easily, you know? I think a lot of Russian names are difficult, though, so I understand when people can't get it right.

with how huge Heated Rivalry is, do you ever get overwhelmed how quickly you're becoming a household name? i remember when True Blood blew up all those years ago and suddenly everyone knew my name, it was the weirdest timeline. it's hard to wrap your brain around, especially when it seems to happen overnight. you've been acting for awhile too, right? / @kseniadk

I do a little, because I really didn't expect people to like Svetlana, if that makes sense? I thought they would see her as someone that was in the way of Ilya and Shane because of her relationship with Ilya and would hate her. So the fact that people love her, is still mind blowing to me, and the fact that I have dedicated fans? Crazy. I will say that I watch True Blood a few times every year, by the way, because that's one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and I love Eric Northman so much—best character of the whole series! And I have been acting for a while, mostly bit parts, but I've been out there. I'm hoping this helps me get more meaty roles, but we'll see. What's next for you, though? I feel like I've been seeing your name everywhere lately.

It's safe to say that Heated Rivalry is big talk in the NHL locker rooms, and I'll admit that some of us have watched it. I'm one of the guys that have watched it, and can I just say that I loved Svetlana so much? I wanted more of her in the show, especially since she's (you're) extremely gorgeous. I know it was about the guys falling in love, which was a great story, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't help but want more Svetlana. Will we see more of her in the second season? / @kseniadk

I was wondering if the show was being talked about in NHL locker rooms, so I'm glad to have the confirmation. And the fact that some of you have watched it? I love hearing that, and it's so cool that you're one of the people that have watched it. I've watched you play and know your reputation, so I'm shocked you watched. But you loved Svetlana? That makes you cool in my book. Not to mention you're calling both of us gorgeous, and I'll take the compliment and not blush like crazy. I'm not sure how much you'll be seeing her in the second season, it's whatever Jacob writes. But you will see her at least some!

Your career started with The Boys? Least it says so on your IMdB. One might say that is a real high note to start.

It did! I felt pretty lucky to be part of an amazing show, and I've been lucky to be part of a couple of amazing shows since then, honestly. Though, really, my luck has hit many levels now that I'm part of Heated Rivalry since that's such a hot show.

consider this: twix bars. see, your wrong move was revealing that you plan on tattling because now i have to get sneakier. don't know how but give me some time and i'll figure it out. yeah, after being on HR, nothing really shocks you anymore so embrace that freakiness. glad they gave everyone the happy ending they wanted. couldn't imagine ending dane and finn's adventure on any other note. fucking lame, isn't it? i had everything planned to hit LA and then bam, my schedule blew up. how'd you like my arching on fallon? quite the television debut, huh? but thank you. you know it means the world hearing you say that. keeping my fingers crossed that 2026 is the year we both move away from canada. also, you can't casually mention doing a gorgeous shoot and not show me. come on, ksenia. send the photos over when they drop. fifteen minutes of him pouting? that's foul. sorry you were subjected to that. let me buy you a drink the next time we're together to make up for it.

I do like Twix, you can throw them at my head. Though I've done good with not eating sugar still, so probably don't throw them at me. I still feel like you're too weak to do anything like that when it comes to Connor, because it's Connor, so I'm not that worried about your sneakiness. It is pretty lame, but I'm glad to see you so booked and busy, it's what you deserve, you know? I loved your arching on Fallon, and everything about your interview on there was perfect and so you. I was laughing the whole time, you did such a good job—it was the perfect debut! I've been looking up the process of getting out of Canada to move here, and it's not as bad as I thought, and I have looked at a few apartments as well, so I'm hoping for the best. I will show you those photos as soon as they drop, don't worry. They turned out so good, though, they're my best shoot yet, I believe. I was thinking the same thing, it was so gross to hear about you for 15 whole minutes. I'm expecting drinks from you as soon as you two are back in LA, though I heard some rumors that you might be heading to Milan for fashion week, and if that's true, I can't wait to see what they put you in. Because you at the Globes? You looked stunning. You clean up well, Hudson.

pixie cut definitely says drastic. if you would have hit me with bangs, i would have said that'd be giving more of a cry for help. ah yeah, that might be the only issue. i know shows can be particular about things like that. you could jokingly throw the idea out to someone from it and if they don't respond with a solid no, just go ahead and do it. aw, thank you, babe. anytime someone thinks differently i'm going to tell them you said not to change. i do really appreciate that though. speaking of amazing, i hope you had an amazing new year.

You know one of my good friends was trying to convince me that I should get bangs, but it was just so he could sabotage me and be the prettiest person on set. How cruel is that? Well, my best friend Connor is on the show, and he flat out told me that I cannot cut my hair no matter what, and honestly, I feel like he might be onto something. I would probably cry a lot if I cut it. You know how something sounds like a good idea until you do it? And then when you do it, you're like what the fuck was I thinking? You're more than welcome, and yes, because you're perfect the way you are, and I love how you respond to things and how you just don't seem to care what anyone thinks. I wish I was more like that! I did have an amazing New Year, I came to Vegas with everyone else, and it was a lot of fun. It's always good to get out of Canada though, since I swear Toronto is the most boring place to live. Did you end up having a good one?

𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 - 𝐤𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚 !

You know I'm always going to think you're beautiful no matter what. And I can't cut off my curls? They're driving me nuts; I just want to go short and shaved again. I'm glad you understand, and we didn't tell you because we didn't trust you or anything like that, you know? Really, we just didn't think about it; we really were in our own little world and didn't tell anyone until we were ready. Promise, no leaving you out of big things in our lives again; you'll be the first to know. And yeah, if we ever get married, you won't be finding out the next day; you know you'd be there. They really are keeping me wet in all my photoshoots lately, and from what I hear, people are loving it, so they'll probably keep doing it. Oh shut up, but I am in love, so I'll take your teasing for now. Next season is going to be amazing, and I'm so glad that Svetlana will be showcased more! I am moving into a new place; I got the keys and everything. I just need to get everything ready to move. Right now Huddy's in New York, and I've got some things going on in LA tomorrow, and then I have to be in New York next Monday, so things are a little crazy, but we'll all be together in LA soon, I promise. When do you get here? Maybe we can meet up before I leave for New York? Glad you didn't get married in Vegas; I would have had to vet the person and make sure they were good enough for you anyway. I'm glad the shoot went well, and you deserve more brands working with you! If you need help booking things in LA, I can get you in contact with some of my modeling contacts.

No, you can't cut off your curls, even if they are driving you nuts, they look so good right now! Don't you dare go short and shaved again, sure, you still looked handsome, but those curls are everything. I really do understand that, and if it counts for anything, I didn't think you guys didn't tell me because you didn't trust me. I had a feeling it was because you were just riding the high of being together. And good, as long as I don't miss out on any of the big things anymore, I'm happy. Oh, I know you're in love, I had to hear about him so damn much last night when we met for drinks. It was awful, you two make me sick. That's exciting about you moving into a new place, and when you get ready to move, let me know, and I'll help! I know you're missing him like crazy right now, but you guys will be back together again soon, right? And yeah, no needing to vet anyone for me, but look at you being the best bestie for wanting to make sure I'm in good hands. I'll send you the photos of the last shoot I did, they turned out so good, and I'm so proud of them. Really? Thank you, I need all the help I can get because I heard it's so hard to get your foot in the door in the LA scene. You're awesome though, and I want to hang out with you some more before you get too busy, okay?

It's not that weird that you're reaching out to me, especially if you were thinking about our night together. What were you thinking? And yeah, I was pretty set on it being a one-time thing; you're right about that, though I wouldn't blame you if you did want a repeat performance. I know where my talents are. But yeah, we could be chill friends, and I'm in LA for a little while longer before I have to head to London to film, so we can meet up while you're here. I'm heading to Vegas for a little bit, but I should be back around for the weekend, and we'll make some plans. It's cute that you keep saying you're not trying to get a repeat performance; we'll play it by ear though.

If I go into what I was thinking about, I'll probably embarrass myself by begging for another repeat performance. And again, if I think about your talents, I'll be begging, so we'll stop that train of thought right now. But happy with the idea of being chill friends, and if you're still in LA, then let's make plans to get together sometime this weekend? I'm here for a while, so whenever you're free. What do you mean we'll play it by ear, though? Do you mean there's a chance we could have a repeat performance? Don't play with me, girl.

I did tell you that you should tell me the next time you're in LA, and I meant that, so yeah, when you're in LA next, let me know and we'll get together. Sorry I've been slacking with the hitting on you in your DMs; I just had some shit going on, but I'll be back to hitting on you in no time, gorgeous, don't worry. Believe me, no one else has my attention right now, just you. So you're very much not wasting your time, and I can't wait to link up with you. When do you think you'll be in LA?

I'm in LA right now, and I should be here for a while, so let me know when is good for you. I was mostly just teasing you, Vin, but is everything okay that you had some shit going on? Glad you'll be hitting on me again in no time, because I'll admit I like when you do. Also happy to hear no one else has your attention, but I'm also not dumb enough to believe I'm the only one you're feeding these lines to. But I'm willing to play this game. Like I said, I'm in LA now, so just let me know when you want to link up and we will.

snickers? have some taste, lady. that's a pretty fair statement but you're gonna regret it when i finally make a good suggestion and you miss out on it. doesn't happen very often but when it does happen, it's golden. appreciate you wanting to protect those gorgeous locks of his but i'm on a mission now. yeah, figured you would get kind of used to all the freakiness after being on set with us. hard not to just embrace the weirdness of it all after HR. only a couple more hours - hope you're not driving when you listen to this last one because it's going to be hot as fuck. lucky for you, i'm dumb and already forgot what i'm not supposed to be keeping from him. men are historically oblivious, i'll own that. glad you were keeping an eye open; you're the true vip. as soon as the flight's booked, i'll let ya know. toronto fucking sucks. unless you're like, a degrassi cast member or criminal. those are the only people having the time of their life there. have you been doing any shoots while in canada? thank god, i was starting to sweat with all this cuteness. i'll accept the squeezes though. do your worst.

Snickers is the best candy bar. Hands down, Hudson, don't even act like they're not. Well, maybe I'll be able to tell when your good suggestion is valid and not one trying to trick me? I'm going to tattle on you and tell him not to listen to you. It really is easy to embrace the freakiness after being on set for HR and watching it, so listening to you guys voice act smut wasn't that big of a deal. I loved the third part so much, not only was it hot as fuck, as you put it, but I got my happy ending, and that was all I wanted. We're clearly both dumb because I forgot what you're supposed to keep from him too. I know you're booked and busy, so you're not in LA right now, but I just wanted to say I watched Fallon last night, and you did such a good job. You and Connor are being such big stars right now, and I want to cry. I'm so happy for the two of you. Toronto does fucking suck, and I would love to be able to move to LA, that's my dream. We'll see if I can make it happen. Yeah, I just did a really fun shoot the other day, and it turned out gorgeous. Me too, and speaking of sweating because of cuteness, I met with Connor for drinks before his Chanel thing, and do you know I had to sit and listen for 15 minutes about how much he missed you, and he pouted the whole time? It was gross. I'll squeeze you hard for having to put up with that when I see you next.

A pixie cut? That would be brave. I don’t have curly hair, unfortunately but I can imagine how hard that would be to actually cut it all off. When I’m not wearing extensions for work, and cut my hair shorter after finishing my tour… that was a little bit emotional. You’re a brave soul for giving up sugar. Does this mean you’re avoiding it entirely or? I heard that it was quite popular. I’m going to have to watch it at some stage cause people keep telling me all the good things. I had the best time, always nice to let your hair down a little and be free. You looked stunning, too. I’m in awe of your beauty, honestly.

Everyone keeps telling me it would have been brave, and now I'm a little sad that I didn't have the nerve to do it. Maybe after season 2 of my show is finished filming, then I'll think about it. Oh, I can imagine how emotional that was for you, especially since I always thought you had the prettiest hair! I feel pretty brave for giving up sugar, it's been a test, but I've been doing good so far. I'm avoiding it entirely, and it's been hard, but I think it'll be worth it in the end. Yeah, we got pretty lucky with how popular it is, and it's mostly thanks to my male costars and their chemistry. If you do watch it, let me know what you think. My character is the badass chick in it. I'm so glad you had a good time, you deserve it because I know you've been working hard with touring and all that. Oh, see, now you're going to make me turn bright red!

ooh, you would look wonderful with a pixie cut. you've got such a strong face card that you could carry that haircut without a problem. think you'll ever give it a go or has the idea been totally abandoned? all the elaborate plans i make tend to go wrong one way or another, so maybe it's better to let the universe take the lead. jump into the unknown head on. quitting sugar cold turkey? yikes, how's that going? with how huge Heated Rivalry has been and it's literally the only thing anyone is talking about, so i would be very surprised if casting directors weren't dying to get you for a project. i'm releasing new music this year and going to tour, so i hope people enjoy the music and actually wanna come to my shows lmao. plus, i own a beauty company and we're going to launching new products this year, so would be hella nice of those were a hit too. very humble wishes, lmao.

Really? I was thinking the same thing about my face but didn't want to sound too cocky, you know? However, maybe one day I'll do it, after I'm not filming Heated Rivalry, I'll just say fuck it and get it done. Going cold turkey without sugar has been an ordeal, let me tell you. But I'm still going strong! I went out for drinks with my best friend last night, though, and do you know how hard it is to get sugar-free drinks? It still amazes me that Heated Rivalry became so big, but I guess I'm also not that shocked because Connor and Hudson have amazing chemistry, and they can sell anything together. I just feel like I'm lucky to be in the same space as them, and if people see me because of the show, I'm thankful. Love that you're releasing new music and going on tour. Where are you touring? Maybe I can catch a show! I watch your TikToks all the time, by the way. I didn't realize you owned a beauty company too, so now you'll have to let me know when your products launch because I will be supporting you!
