Actor The White Lotus co-star, Aimee Lou Wood. The interview was meant to promote Goggins’ new movie, The Uninvited, but it quickly went off track when the reporter asked about his relationship with Wood.
According to TMZ, the questioning started with a mention of the fact that the two actors no longer follow each other on Instagram, which is often seen as a sign of tension between public figures. Goggins’ first response was short and clear—he would not discuss his relationship with his former co-star.
His publicists, who were present during the interview, immediately backed up Goggins’ unwillingness to talk about the subject. One publicist stepped in, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere. However, the reporter tried again later, bringing up the topic in a more careful way. This second attempt led to a stronger reaction from Goggins, who grew visibly frustrated. He eventually shut down the line of questioning, calling it pointless and unrelated to promoting his new film.

This tension is connected to Goggins’ public reaction to a recent Saturday Night Live sketch. The sketch made fun of Wood’s character and her British accent, including a mocking joke about her teeth. While Wood openly criticized the sketch, calling it “mean” and “unfunny,” Goggins posted on social media that he found it amusing.
This public approval of a comedy bit that targeted his co-star went against the friendly image the two had maintained while The White Lotus was airing. The rumors of a feud began during the filming of The White Lotus Season 3, where Goggins and Wood played a couple. Though they seemed to have good chemistry on screen, fans started speculating about their off-screen relationship after the season ended.
The fact that they haven’t been seen together publicly since the show wrapped, combined with the Instagram unfollowing, only made the rumors spread further.
