Walton Goggins's Wife Nadia Conners Comments on His Relationship With Aimee Lou Wood
On season 3 of The White Lotus, Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood played a couple with an age-gap relationship who also dealt with a host of other romantic issues. Unsurprisingly, for the HBO hit, their pairing ended tragically. On set, they seemed to have had a friendly relationship, but some eagle-eyed fans noted they no longer followed one another on social media after the season's premiere.
Rumors swirled that the actors had some sort of falling out. Goggins is married to director Nadia Conners and in an interview with HELLO! this week, Conners talked about the persistent interest in what might have gone on behind the camera.
'It's odd to see it, but it's an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters. I take it as a sign that he's become quite popular,' she said.
Conners explained how her 2024 film The Uninvited, which starred Goggins, was sometimes interpreted as autobiographical, giving her perspective on how fans can project. As the character Sammy, Goggins is a drug addict and unsupportive partner. Conners says that Sammy and Goggins have nothing in common.
'I wrote it about a marriage, but not my marriage, which concerned him,' she shared. '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.''
She also talked about motherhood. Goggins and Conners share one child, their 14-year-old Augustus. After he was born, Conners dealt with post-partum depression.
'It's still a taboo subject, and the truth is, I did find it hard. I had post-partum, my husband was working long hours and I volunteered to look after our child without us realising what the long-term effects on me would be,' she said. 'Los Angeles is very spread out and you spend a lot of time in your car, so it's easy to spend days at home alone with your child. I'm half-Egyptian and you don't see that there. The mothers are never alone; there are always aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins around to help and support. We were never meant to do it alone.'

The Gilded Age Cast IRL: See How the Season 3 Stars Look Out of Costume
Like the time period from which it gets its name, The Gilded Age is all about excess. From the characters' lavish homes to their stunning gowns and jewelry, it's like every day is the Met Gala — and the servants aren't the only ones serving. Here at TVLine, we live for a good fashion moment as much as Mrs. Fish lives for drama at the opera, but it's easy to get lost in the 1880s fantasy. Sometimes we forget that there are present-day women buried under all those corsets, bustles and bonnets.

In preparation for The Gilded Age's Season 3 premiere (Sunday, 9/8c), we're taking a moment to remind you what the HBO drama's cast looks like when they're not dressed in period-accurate costumes. And you might be surprised by some of the things you see. For example, did you know that Louisa Jacobson is actually a brunette underneath her blonde Marian Brook wig? Or that Ben Ahlers rocks a no-nonsense mustache when he's not playing baby faced jack-of-all-trades John Trotter? Prepare to learn all that and more as you peruse side-by-side comparisons of this season's Gilded Age series regulars (along with a few noteworthy Season 3 guest stars) out of costume, primarily using red carpet photos from the show's June 12 premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.

When does Season 3 of 'The Gilded Age' come out? Date, cast, where to watch
Step back into the Gilded Age, "a period of immense economic and social change," with Season 3 of HBO's lavish period drama. The opulent series, created by "Downton Abbey's" Julian Fellowes, follows high society and the battle between "old money" and "new money" in 1800s New York. In the upcoming season, the old guard is weakened following the Opera War and the Russells "stand poised to take their place at the head of society," according to the season synopsis. "Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first," the synopsis says, adding, "across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house." "As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear," it concludes.
