Looks like the drama between The White Lotus costars Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins might be coming to an end—at least offscreen. After months of rumors about their rocky relationship, fans were quick to notice that the two recently refollowed each other on Instagram, sparking buzz that the former feud may finally be over.
In Season 3 of the hit HBO series, the Emmy-winning White Lotus introduced Lou Wood and Goggins as an onscreen couple—bringing plenty of chemistry and chaos to the screen. But behind the scenes? Things weren’t exactly picture-perfect.
It all started when both actors shared tributes to their characters online… without tagging each other. Yep, fans noticed. And the internet started piecing together that something was off between the two. What started as subtle shade soon snowballed into a full-blown cold war.
To make things worse, Walton Goggins once called Lou Wood the “brightest light” on set—but later turned heads when he liked and commented on an SNL sketch that poked fun at Lou Wood’s smile. Under a parody clip from Saturday Night Live on Instagram, Goggins left a loud “Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg,” which fans felt was a bit… pointed.
Then came the awkward press moment. During an interview with The London Times, when asked about his relationship with Lou Wood, Goggins abruptly shut it down. “I’m not gonna have that conversation,” he said bluntly, with his publicist quickly stepping in to add, “We’re not going there, thank you.”
Ouch.
But now, out of nowhere, the pair have started following each other again online. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe they’re finally ready to move past the drama. According to CNN, the actors might even be appearing at an upcoming industry event together, suggesting a possible professional reconciliation is underway.
Whatever happened between them behind the scenes, their performances on The White Lotus Season 3 were widely praised by fans and critics alike. The onscreen magic clearly worked—even if the offscreen relationship hit a few speed bumps.
And in case you missed it: all episodes of The White Lotus Season 3 are now streaming on HBO. Let’s just hope the next season brings less drama off the set.
