"Ohhh Heated Rivalry," Cohen laughed, before petting Cooper's coat and crooning "Ilya." "Out of the two of us... you're Ilya and I'm Shane," Cohen declared. "What?" he gasped at Cohen's decision. "I'm not either of them. I'm Kip.""
""Do lesbians give a damn about the Canadian hockey gay romance series, Heated Rivalry?" "It's all I can think about," Carlile responded. "I can't even sleep at night without thinking about [the show].""
Heated Rivalry follows rival hockey players Shane and Ilya, who fall into a lust-filled situationship. The series surged in popularity in 2025 for its steamy storytelling and queer romance. During a New Year's Eve broadcast in Times Square, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper joked about the show, with Cohen revealing Cooper slept in a bed frame Cohen had given him and both teasing which character they would be. Cohen declared himself Shane and labeled Cooper Ilya; Cooper instead claimed he was Kip. Musician Brandi Carlile said she cannot stop thinking about the series and cannot sleep because of it.
