Lover Boy

Tea Time 🫖 @itsteatimewithj

Ilya Rozanov was apparently late picking up both his husband and his Mother-in-Law from the airport! Rozanov appeared apologetic in a new video taken from his Mother-in-Law’s Instagram story:

Video 1:

[Video shot from the backseat of Hollander’s Jeep Cherokee: Rozanov is driving while both Yuna and Shane Hollander sit in the back seat. Yuna Hollander is holding the camera, the shot shifting back and forth from Rozanov to Shane Hollander. Rozanov can be heard letting out a nervous laugh and saying, “Damn it. Thought I timed it right. I’m sorry. Is no excuse. No excuse.”

Both Hollanders can be heard laughing. The camera shot settles on a smiling, pink-cheeked Shane Hollander, who is holding a large, fresh bouquet of roses in his lap. “It's okay, baby,” he can be heard saying softly.]

The five adults appear engrossed in conversation, leaning in to each other’s space with wide smiles. They’re each wearing a custom red and black jersey emblazoned with a “Mr.” or “Mrs.” followed by the last name of their partner and their number.]

“I have a date!” Hockey’s favorite Lover Boy, Ilya Rozanov-Hollander, seen running to catch up with his husband after tonight's victory 🏃‍♂️

Video 1:

[Video shot in the Ottawa Centaurs’ Locker Room. Troy Barrett is prepping for post-game interviews when Ilya Rozanov is seen running behind him, buttoning his shirt as he goes. One of his shoes is untied.

“In a rush, Roz?” Barrett can be heard laughing.

“I have a date!” Rozanov says without looking back, jogging out of the locker room.]

Video 2:

[Video shot in the lower levels of the arena: Shane Hollander is seen walking alongside Cassie and Milo Boodram. They’re walking slowly, chatting. Ilya Rozanov is seen entering the frame, still jogging. Without looking back, Hollander reaches out his hand for Rozanov, who takes it.]

Photo 1:

[A blurry shot from the arena’s parking garage. Rozanov is seen holding open a car door for Hollander, who is holding a rather large bouquet of flowers.]
