Walton Goggins’ wife has broken her silence on romance rumors involving his “White Lotus” co-star Aimee Lou Wood.
“It’s odd to see it, but it’s an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters,” Nadia Conners, a movie director who married Goggins in August 2011, told Hello! magazine in an interview published Friday.
“I take it as a sign that he’s become quite popular,” Conners, who shares son Augustus, 14, with Walton, added.
Speculation that Goggins and Wood had fallen out began to swirl last month following the Season 3 finale after fans realized the on-screen love interests had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Furthermore, sleuths believed Goggins might have even blocked Wood — whom he had referred to as “the brightest light in every room” in August 2024 — because her comments on his previous posts had disappeared, while his still appeared on hers.
Online chatter escalated when the actors posted tributes to their characters’ love story but didn’t tag each other.
To make matters worse, Goggins praised a “Saturday Night Live” sketch that mocked Wood’s teeth, calling the bit “SMASHING” and “Amazzzingggg.”
Earlier this month, he abruptly ended an interview with the London Times after writer Ed Potton asked him questions about the status of his relationship with Wood.
“I’m not gonna have that conversation,” he responded in the published article.
Goggins’ American publicist quickly jumped in to say, “We’re not going there, thank you,” which prompted his British rep to demand the “next question.”
After Goggins called out Potton for sneaking in “thinly veiled” questions and not seeming “interested” in talking about his new film, his team cut short the conversation that Potton later described as “off the rails.”
Just before this year’s Met Gala, eagle-eyed Instagram users noticed that Goggins and Wood began following each other again.
And although they avoided each other at the 2025 Met Gala, Wood insisted during a red carpet interview that she “loved working with” Goggins on “The White Lotus.”
“It was the best thing ever,” she gushed, going on to praise his then-upcoming “SNL” appearance.
“He’s going to be incredible doing ‘SNL,’” she said. “It’s the perfect thing for him to do. It’s going to be hilarious. I’m so excited to see it.”
During the episode in question, which aired last weekend, Goggins chose not to address any rumors surrounding the pair.
