Walton Goggins' Wife Nadia Conners Breaks Silence on Aimee Lou Wood Speculation
Walton Goggins' wife, Nadia Conners, addressed speculation about his relationship to White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood. 'It's odd to see [the speculation], but it's an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters,' Conners, 55, said in an interview with Hello! Magazine published on Friday, May 16. 'I take it as a sign that he's become quite popular.' Goggins, 53, and Wood, 31, played doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea in the third season of the HBO Emmy-winning anthology series. The costars took part in promotion of the show together, but fans noticed they soon stopped following one another on social media. Goggins reacted to Saturday Night Live's April parody of The White Lotus via Instagram by calling the sketch 'amazzzingggg' whereas Wood found the spoof 'mean and unfunny' due to SNL cast member Sarah Sherman depicting her with fake teeth to resemble her gap. (Sherman later offered a mea culpa by sending Wood flowers and Wood insisted she never personally blamed the comedian.) Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood's Sweetest Friendship Moments: From 'The White Lotus' and Beyond Speculation about the pair reached a fever pitch earlier this month when Goggins walked out of an interview with the London Times due to repeated questions about his relationship with Wood. Goggins initially told the reporter he wasn't 'going to have that conversation' before ending the interview when Wood was brought up again. 'There's no conversation to be had about that. [It's like] sharing politics on social media — it's in a vacuum,' he insisted. However, the two White Lotus stars started following each other again on Instagram shortly after. Wood also offered her support for Goggins hosting SNL on May 10 while attending the Met Gala in New York City on May 5. '[Working with Walton] was the best thing ever,' Wood added. 'He's going to be incredible doing SNL. It's the perfect thing for him to do. It's going to be hilarious. I'm so excited to see it.' Fans hoping to see Wood reunite with Goggins on Saturday Night Live were likely disappointed since she didn't appear — though White Lotus cast member Sam Rockwell did cameo alongside Goggins on the NBC sketch show last weekend. As for Goggins' marriage, he was first wed to Leanne Kaun in 2001 but she tragically died in 2004. He married Conners in 2011 and they share a son, Augustus, born 2011. Walton Goggins Says He Would Call Pedro Pascal If He 'Needed an Intervention' Amid 'White Lotus' Fame In her new interview with Hello!, Conners spoke about writing and directing The Uninvited, a comedy-drama about a dinner party gone horribly wrong. Goggins starred in the movie as a drug-addicted Hollywood talent agent, but Conners insisted her marriage did not inspire the film. "Walton was reading through the script with me at home and I was like, 'Oh my God.' What he brings to the character, it was sharp, almost killer energy,' she said. 'I wrote it about a marriage, but not my marriage, which concerned him – he was like: 'But I'm not this guy.' It was really important for him to say that he was not this guy. I said: 'I know, but you're a great actor, so you can pretend.'' The Uninvited is now playing in theaters.

Scarlett Johansson Says Dating Men Outside of Hollywood Caused 'Jealousy' Since Actors Get 'Very Intimate'
NEED TO KNOW Scarlett Johansson discussed strains in relationships with people who don't work as actors "I've had serious relationships with people that were not in the industry, and I found one of the challenges was that the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job," she said Johansson is married to Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost, and she was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac Scarlett Johansson is reflecting on relationship strains caused by dating someone outside the entertainment industry. During Johansson's Interview magazine conversation with Stranger Things and Thunderbolts* star David Harbour published on Tuesday, June 10, the actors discussed their proclivities toward dating actors and artists rather than "normal people," as Harbour, 50, put it. Advertisement "I've had serious relationships with people that were not in the industry, and I found one of the challenges was that the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job," said Johansson, 40. "Obviously, if I was dating an oncologist, I wouldn't know what they needed to do for their job. But it's not so abstract." Johansson shares son Cosmo, 3, with husband Colin Jost and daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac. She also noted that romantic relationships between actors and those who do not work in entertainment sometimes see tensions rise due to the nature of actors' jobs. "I also think it's easy to create a lot of jealousy when a person is not involved in the industry, because actors by nature are very free-spirited and they create very intimate relationships with people at work," she said. "They can be loyal to a partner and also very engaged in all these other kinds of relationships, and I think it can be a blurry line for some people."

Advertisement Prior to marrying Saturday Night Live star Jost in 2020, Johansson was married to French journalist and art dealer Dauriac, 43, from 2014 to 2017. She was also married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011. Jamie McCarthy/WireImage Scarlett Johansson on May 28, 2025 Scarlett Johansson on May 28, 2025 "When I'm working, and you're probably like this too, I'm pretty hermetic," Johansson told Harbour during the Interview conversation. "If I'm in a town, I like to go to the little restaurant and movie theater, but I don't like a lot of variation. I like things to be, I don't want to say rigorous, but you want a routine." Johansson and Jost recently appeared together at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in support of Johansson's directorial debut Eleanor the Great. She most recently appeared on the big screen in Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, and will star in Jurassic World Rebirth, in theaters July 2. Read the original article on People
