Aimee Lou Wood breaks silence on Walton Goggins relationship on Met Gala 2025 red carpet
The 31-year-old actress was asked about her 'The White Lotus' co-star as they both attended the Met Gala 2025 on Monday, amid rumors that the pair are feuding.
In her red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Wood addressed the possibility of making a surprise appearance on Goggins' 'Saturday Night Live' episode this weekend.

'I couldn't say… but also I'm not, I'm not doing that,' she told the interviewer.
But Wood did clarify that she'd go on 'SNL' after the NBC series mocked her in its viral 'The White Potus' parody last month.
'Yeah! Why not? It would be fun,' she said. 'I loved working with Walton. It was the best thing ever.'

Wood further explained that the 'SNL' drama 'all got very out of control.'
'My whole thinking was, I saw that people were angry about it, and I could either say something and just have it be said, and then I won't spiral inwardly, and feel terrible about myself,' she said.
'I thought I'd just say something really simple and balanced, and then the next minute, it was like the whole world, and then it was like, 'Aimee Lou Wood crying in the street over SNL skit'. I wasn't crying over the SNL skit, I was crying about something completely unrelated,' she clarified. 'It all got quite out of control.'

Wood continued: 'And then it was like, 'Walton's doing it.' He's going to be incredible doing 'SNL.' It's the perfect thing for him to do, he's going to be hilarious. I'm so excited to see it.'
While speaking to Access Hollywood on the red carpet, Wood said that she wanted to 'debrief' with Goggins, 53, at the event.

'I actually saw him two days ago. We haven't had that much time to debrief about everything,' she shared. 'So every time we see each other, there's never time.'
'So it'l be good to see him again tonight, because we saw each other briefly a couple days ago and we were just trying to download everything and the episodes and Rick and Chelsea's whole story now that we've seen it in full,' Wood added. 'There's just never enough time.'
Wood seemed to avoid Goggins on the Met Gala red carpet. But she did pose for pictures with their co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger, who told Variety that he showed up to the event with the British actress.

The speculation about Wood and Goggins' alleged feud started when fans noticed that they didn't follow each other on Instagram after the Season 3 finale aired last month. The actors started following each other again before the Met Gala.
The pair also sparked feud rumors when they didn't do press together to promote the HBO show or tag one another in Instagram cast photos.

Additionally, Goggins praised the 'White Lotus' parody on 'SNL' that made fun of Wood's teeth in April. Goggins is set to host the show this weekend.
Goggins, for his part, was asked about his relationship with the 'Sex Education' star in a recent interview with the London Times — but he refused to discuss the matter.

'I'm not gonna have that conversation,' Goggins said in the story published May 2.
'There is no conversation to be had about that,' Goggins repeated when the subject was mentioned a second time by writer Ed Potton.
'What the f–k, Ed!' he added when Potton pushed a third time. 'Come on buddy. Wow.'

Inside Zac Brown and Kendra Scott's plan for $6.7M Austin home after engagement announcement
Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer popped the question with a sparkling pink diamond. So, will he move to Austin, TX, and make his fiancée's $6.7 million home their love nest? The 46-year-old 'Old Love Song' hitmaker, 46, got down on one knee and asked Scott, 51, to marry him—two months after making their romance red-carpet official. The lovebirds confirmed their engagement to People, telling the outlet that they are so 'happy and grateful' that they found each other. In May, the couple made their red carpet debut while attending the American Music Awards in Las Vegas. At the time, an insider close to Brown and Scott told the outlet that they were madly in love. 6 Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer proposed with a pink diamond ring. Getty Images 'They were set up by a mutual friend and are totally in love. They are head over heels and have become inseparable,' the source revealed. Just days after they hard-launched their relationship to the world, Scott—who shares sons Cade, 23, and Beck, 21, with ex-husband John Scott as well as son Grey, 11, with ex-husband Matt Davis—took to social media to gush about her new partner. 'What an unforgettable night at the @amas,' she wrote on Instagram that same day. 'We danced, we laughed, and seeing Zac honored with the inaugural Veteran's Voice Award was the highlight of it all.' 6 'They were set up by a mutual friend and are totally in love. They are head over heels and have become inseparable,' an insider told People.

Aurora / Brian Prahl / '@zacbrown, I'm so incredibly proud of you—of your heart, your service, and the man you are. You couldn't deserve this more,' she penned. They were then spotted at fellow country star Jamey Johnson's wedding together, leaving fans gushing over their adorable romance. Their engagement comes two years after Brown—who shares kids Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 16, Joni, 14, and Alexander, 11, with ex-wife Shelly Brown—separated from Kelly Yazdi. 6 The engagement comes two years after Brown separated from Kelly Yazdi. Getty Images Yazdi and Brown announced their divorce in 2023, after just four months of marriage. 'We are in the process of divorce. Our mutual respect for one another remains. We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time,' they announced with a joint statement to Billboard at the time. Brown then filed an emergency temporary restraining order demanding that Yazdi remove an Instagram post that he claimed damaged his public image. Yazdi rebuked the lawsuit and shared a fierce social media post in response. 6 Brown listed his lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million amid his divorce. REUTERS 'No one—not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers, may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce,' she said in a video shared to TikTok on May 19. Amid his divorce battle, Brown listed his sprawling lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million, after splashing out $1.8 million for it in 2020. The home is located in a gated community and boasts 9,448 square feet of living space, including seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. 6 Scott's 16,149 square feet home, built in 2016, has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms with a resort-style pool and greenery. The home comes with a resort-style pool and lots of lush greenery—offering the newly engaged couple peak privacy. Google Maps 'The kitchen overlooks an open-concept vaulted living room and a fireside breakfast room flowing to a screened porch with lake views,' the listing read. After he offloaded the home, Brown, who grew up in Cumming, GA, which is near his former property, remained in Georgia. However, things might change now that the country singer is engaged to Scott. Brown might even opt to move into Scott's $6.7 million Austin dwelling.

This seemingly harmless clue is a telltale sign your partner is cheating, private investigator says
When it comes to infidelity in relationships — cheating partners are getting sneakier and sneakier. Oftentimes, suspicious partners will look through a person's text messages, emails or other messaging systems to catch them in the act. In doing so, private investigator Paul Jones from ARF Private Investigators shared with The Sun specific clues to be on the lookout for. Advertisement Innocent-looking emojis can reveal if a partner is cheating. Getty Images/iStockphoto If you're tempted to sneakily read through your partner's conversations on messaging apps like WhatsApp and Snapchat — popular options for cheaters — random, innocent-looking emojis could be a dead giveaway that your partner isn't being faithful. If you come across messages specifically with the croissant or padlock emojis in them — you might be in for a rude awakening. Advertisement 'On the surface, it might look innocent, but there's usually a deeper meaning,' he told the outlet. 'We've had people using a croissant emoji as a way of saying 'meet me for breakfast', or the letter emoji as a subtle 'text me when you're free.'' Before you panic, an occasional use of these emojis might not mean much — but if the majority of messages include them, you most likely have a cheater on your hands. 'Used once or twice they don't mean much,' Jones told The Sun. Advertisement 'But when you see them appearing regularly in chats with the same person, especially late at night, they start to mean something more.' If something feels off — it's best to confront your significant other about your suspicions. 'On the surface, it might look innocent, but there's usually a deeper meaning,' Jones told the outlet. Getty Images/iStockphoto Getting cheated on is a devastating experience and psychotherapist and sex therapist of 45 years, Esther Perel, shared the one reason behind why many people do it. Advertisement While sometimes people stray from relationships because of… 'rejection, betrayal, disconnection, or alienation. Loneliness is a big one. Other times, the reasons are internal and have little to do with the relationship itself,' she told the Telegraph. But she believes the main reason behind infidelity is 'deadness' in a relationship — which is when a partner feels like the other person no longer cares about them. As a result, the person feeling this way will look elsewhere to feel 'alive' again. 'It means exploration, discovery, active engagement with the unknown, and being alive. It's a good entry point,' Perel said. To avoid this, Perel advises couples to show curiosity about one another and ask questions — even if you think you know your significant other well and have been with them for years. 'Do you know how many people go out with friends, see their partner talking about a movie or band or experience, and then in the car or on the train, they ask, 'Who is picking up Johnny tomorrow after school?' or 'Did you get the groceries?' From there, not wanting to have sex or feeling distant isn't far behind.' People's interests, needs and wants often change in a relationship, since people evolve and grow over time. As a result, Perel said to never stop exploring one another as individuals. 'It's about giving your partner the chance to see you and themselves in a new light,' she said.
