Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins address feud rumours together
After weeks of intense speculation, Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins have unequivocally put the feud rumours to bed.
The White Lotus co-stars who played doomed lovers Chelsea and Rick in season three of the hit HBO series saw the high-stakes drama of the fictional Thailand resort bleed into real life after fans started wondering if there was a rift between the pair.
After castmate Jason Isaacs alluded to 'drama' on the set, people started fuelling the fire by pointing out Walton had unfollowed Aimee on Instagram and praised the very SNL sketch which the Sex Education star had called out as 'mean' and 'unfunny' for mocking the appearance of her teeth (he later deleted his comments).
As rumours whirled, just this week, The Fallout star shut down an interview with The Times when asked to address the feud multiple times. 'There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media — it's in a vacuum,' he said.
After being asked a final time, the 53-year-old added: 'What the f**k, Ed [Potton]! Come on, buddy. Wow.'
Now, in their first joint interview with Variety since the falling out rumours reached their pinnacle, they have cleared the record once and for all.
Walton, who has spent many of the past weeks working intensive hours on the Fallout set, shared: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me.'
Then looking at Aimee, added: 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud.
'She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.'
And explained that he would 'never' speak for both of them, hence he didn't discuss the issue with The Times.
Specifically, Walton claimed that The Times interviewer had tried to compare his and Aimee's teeth and asked if they had bonded over them on set, which left him 'disgusted and flabbergasted'.
Aimee echoed the shock, saying: 'How horrible!'
The 31-year-old star then said Instagram was 'irrelevant' and neither of them 'gave a s***e', encouraging people to discuss the show's storyline and characters instead.
'Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing,' Aimee added while Walton called himself a 'grown-a** man'.
Then, he explained that he has always found the end of intense projects of this nature difficult (especially considering his personal ties to this one) and had let Aimee know he was 'processing saying goodbye'.
By the end of their chat, Walton had followed Aimee on Instagram once more.
He concluded by calling the whole situation 'ridiculous'. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f**king ever,' he said.
As for what's next for Goggins, in a recent interview with Metro, he discussed his ethos with allowing himself to embrace 'the unknown'. More Trending
'I didn't know where my life was going before Fallout. I didn't know before White Lotus. And I suppose, at my age, that's the best place to be: comfortable in the unknown,' he said.
As for the Bafta winner, she has plenty of projects in the pipeline, including a new series with Adolescence's breakout star Owen Cooper called Film Club and a second season of her hit show, Daddy Issues.

Kieran Trippier 'growing close to adult star' after collapse of his marriage
Footballer Kieran Trippier was spotted out with a mystery woman in recent weeks following months of reports his marriage was on the rocks - and now she has been identified as an OnlyFans star Kieran Trippier enjoyed a night out with an OnlyFans star before announcing his split from his wife, a report has claimed. The 34-year-old footballer, who plays for Premier League club Newcastle United as a right-back, has been married for nine years. He married partner Charlotte in Cyprus in 2016 and they went on to welcome a son named, Jacob, and two daughters, named Esme and Isla. For months, reports have raged that the couple have been in troubled waters - with headlines last year suggesting they had holidayed separately amid concerns for their marriage. Last September, there were concerns the marriage was over when Kieran was seen without his wedding ring. And two weeks ago, it was reported he had been spotted out with a mystery woman. Now the mystery has seemingly been solved, as the blonde woman he was spotted out and about with in Newcastle has been unmasked as an OnlyFans content creator named Sienna Day. A source told The Sun:"After leaving the Wafi Lounge, Kieran was in another club with Sienna and they appeared close. She is well known on the scene in Newcastle and was with him in the club for just over an hour. 'They left not long before 3am. Kieran looked very taken with Sienna.' The Mirror has approached representatives of Kieran for comment. Last week it was reported that Kieran and Charlotte had been separated for a year and are now planning to get a divorce. It was reported that the couple were keen to carry on with their lives while planning to make their divorce "as amicable as possible." Earlier this month, it was reported that Kieran had been spotted out in Newcastle partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry. The England international, who has 54 caps, shared with his followers that he's moving forward after parting ways with his wife. Charlotte subsequently broke her silence on the reports of the end of their marriage, telling fans she is "fine" but not ready to talk. Taking to Instagram last week in view of her 34,300 followers, she said she had been inundated with messages of support from women and also men who had been sending their well wishes. "I just wanted to let everyone know that I am fine," she said. Charlotte added: "Obviously, I am not ready to talk about my situation. "In time I will, when I am comfortable and the time is right, also I have three young children, haven't I, so I don't want to be putting things out there for them to see. But yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know it's not that bad, and you can get through it once you make the decision. "Like, you can get through it, the sparkle does come back, I feel like I am getting my glow back again, and yeah, like, you'll get there. So, anyone that needs any motivational speech or just some general chit chat, I'm all about mental health and stuff like that, I'm letting you know you will absolutely get through, any sort of break up or anything similar to what I'm going through." Charlotte's post which has been liked over 2,800 times was soon flooded with messages of support. Former The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow penned: "Keep sparkling beautiful." One Newcastle United fan penned: "I live in the North East and I'm a huge Newcastle fan, I love Trippier on the pitch and all he's done for the team, and if I'm being honest, I didn't want to believe what I was reading on social media about him. However, I wanted to say I've followed you for a while now and what a lovely, genuine person you seem to be. Always so happy and classy. You're so pretty, he's lost a good one there!" Charlotte replied to the fan: "Thanks so much! Tripps defo does great on the pitch and so happy for you Geordies that you are doing so well! Much love to the Geordies."

Love Island star ordered to change image for fame after villa
Love Island alumni Liberty Poole has always been her own woman - from keeping it real in the villa to embracing those fabulous curves as she admits she was asked to do one strange thing post-villa She might not have found lasting love during her two stints on Love Island, but Liberty Poole is proof that staying true to yourself is perhaps the real win when it comes to participating in the dating show. The 25-year-old Brummie first found fame in 2021 when she coupled up with Jake Cornish on day one in the villa and quickly became one half of the show's golden couple – until she called time on the romance, days before the final. Last year, Liberty gave love another shot on Love Island: All Stars but, once again, chose self-respect over game-playing guys. Since then, as she exclusively tells OK!, she's turned her relationship woes into a platform for body positivity, inspiring her 1.3 million Instagram followers to embrace their imperfections. READ MORE: Michelle Keegan joins Padel trend with powerful racket that is 'ideal for female players' Hi Liberty! Looking back, how do you feel about your experiences in the villa? You know, no matter what, I always come out a stronger person. But yes, I feel like my journeys in the villa weren't the easiest. It's a time I'll always cherish, but there were also some negative things to deal with. Obviously, I had to rewatch my boyfriend on TV saying he wasn't attracted to me, then in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, I got pied three times. I was the girl who was never picked or fancied. I think it's important to remember that there's such a small group of people in there, it's not a reflection on you – it's just the nature of the show. We're in the middle of the current series – any changes you would have liked to have seen this season? Well, I feel like they've come a long way since earlier seasons with diversity, but I do think they could still do more with body diversity as well. There's always a certain body type that goes into the villa, so I think more could be done in that sense. Because I'm a bit of a curvier girl myself, I do a lot of body positivity now online. Before I went on Love Island, I used to heavily edit my photos and shrink my waist. Whereas, when you're in front of a camera, you can't hide. Did you feel like people in the All Stars villa knew how to play the game and weren't taking part to find love? Yeah, I definitely think some people did. I remember having a conversation with one particular person in the All Stars villa and I was honestly just trying to have a genuine conversation with them. They said to me, 'Oh no, you're not doing this conversation right, you're mentioning the fourth wall.' They said that we needed to 'redo' the conversation. It wasn't even one of the producers who said that – it was a cast member. I realised people were actually thinking like that. I just went in as me because I don't think anything else would have worked for me. Do you think it's still possible to begin a long-lasting relationship in the villa or is it now more of a platform to find fame? I would say it's evolved more into that now, yes, because I think people are very aware that you go on the show and you get a certain following and it does open up opportunities and doors for you. I would say it's maybe more evolved into that now than the first season, but I wouldn't paint everyone with the same brush and say everyone's in it for the fame. I still think people do go into the villa open to finding love. Were there any challenges you experienced, returning to normality after you left Love Island for the first time? The welfare team really supports you during your time on the show and after the show, when you return home. For me, the difficulty was coming out. Never compromise your happiness for fame and money. You do get a bit love-bombed by the show. Obviously, you're busy when you come out and it's this crazy whirlwind, but it calms down. From the start, I'd say do not compare yourself to anyone else because everyone else's journey in the industry is different. When I came out, I had times where I was told to wear designer bags more to elevate my image. That just wasn't me – no thanks. What advice would you give any prospective Islanders? Just be yourself. I've been there and I've seen people be themselves and it works out for them a lot better than the people who try to pretend or play up to the camera in some way. Also, the public are not stupid. So just be yourself and you'll get further down the line. Some people's experiences are that you go in and find love and end up in a long-lasting relationship, like Alex and Olivia [Bowen], Indiyah [Polack] and Dami [Hope] – they're all still in very happy relationships. You can be open to that aspect, but I wouldn't go in with that expectation.

TALA drops new bridal collection with 'genius' styles
Shoppers are saying they 'need every piece' from the Grace x TALA bridal edit calling the collection 'the best thing ever' Clothing brand TALA might be best known for their sustainable and size inclusive gym-wear, however, the brand has just dropped a brand new bridal edit and fans can't get enough. The Grace x TALA The Bridal Edit includes a limited edition collection of versatile styles designed to be worn from hen to honeymoon and beyond. Inspired by founder Grace Beverley's own bridal journey as she is set to be married later this year, she even styled the pieces at her hen do in Marbella, Spain. Stocked in sizes extra small to extra large and with prices starting from £32, the edit won't be re-stocked so we wouldn't delay for those that don't want to miss out. The all-white clothing collection includes a silky maxi dress, plunge swimsuit, linen trousers and poplin maxi skirt, as well as an active range with sports vest, sports bra and skort. Consumers don't have to be getting married to enjoy the edit, as all the pieces are versatile enough to be worn throughout the summer, no matter the occasion. Announcing the collection on Instagram, Grace wrote: "If you think I'm getting married and not wearing my own brand as much as possible in the lead up, you are mistaken. So, almost a year ago now, we started working on a fun extra project at work: what would the ideal bridal capsule look like? "And now, after months of perfecting designs, it's finally here. This one's for the bridal girlies who don't want pieces they won't be able to style again (and also anyone who likes gorgeous white silky pieces)." Grace X TALA The Bridal Edit from £32 TALA Shop Here Product Description The Silky Maxi Dress at £62 in diamond white is arguably the star of the show, with adjustable shoulder straps, a double-lined bust panel and a flattering silhouette. One person said 'wow I'm not getting married but need it all' and another wrote 'phenomenal idea, but you see that dress? I needed it in my wardrobe like yesterday'. Another shopper was impressed with the Linen Tailored Wide Leg Trousers in coconut milk. Calling them a 'wardrobe essential', someone wrote: "Perfect item to add to your wardrobe quality of material was great just looked so good on I was definitely not disappointed with these trousers." However, sizing was a little off for another three star reviewer, sharing: "These were too long and baggy on me, but loved the colour and fabric. I did try turning them up to see if I could just adjust the length, but they still swamped me." Shoppers can also explore the Nobody's Child Bridal Edit, designed to be worn from proposal to party. Prices start from £89 and pieces include mini dresses, jumpsuits and bridesmaid dresses. Those interested in swimwear, might want to consider the TALA Plunge Swimsuit. The £69 all-in-one is on of the brand's bestselling styles, now in white, with customers saying it is 'really comfy' and can be worn 'so many ways'. One shopper even called it 'the perfect swimsuit', explaining: "This product is outstanding. I have not felt that good in my body for ages, and as soon as put it on, I felt cinched, curvy and smooth all at once. What a product, what a brand. High quality and worth the money." Someone else mentioned that they would prefer 'a but more coverage on the bum'. At Boux Avenue, the Rivoli Swimsit has a similar look and shoppers say it gives 'a lot of support in the straps and cups'. It's not all-white like the TALA option, but consumers can select a specific bra size. The Grace x TALA Bridal Edit is available to shop here.
