The Truth About White Lotus Stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood's Friendship After Feud Rumors

However, rumors of bad blood further swirled when Walton abruptly ended an interview after being asked to address the status of their relationship multiple times.

“I’m not gonna have that conversation,” the 53-year-old told The Times in an interview published in May. “There is no conversation to be had about that.”

And while Aimee and Walton may have tried to avoid the scrutiny at first, they ultimately set the record straight on where they stood, insisting that they'd grown "closer than ever" since their time on The White Lotus concluded.

“There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,” Walton said in a joint interview with Aimee for Variety in June. “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.”

As for why they unfollowed each other on Instagram? The Righteous Gemstones alum—who married Nadia Conners in 2011—said that it's part of his acting process.

“I needed to just back away from everyone,” Walton explained. "This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that’s what I needed to do for me to process all of this.”

Whatever the reason, Aimee emphasized that social media activity is not meant to be harped over.

"Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant,” the 31-year-old told Variety at the time. “We don’t give a shite about Instagram. Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea and enjoy it?”

Echoing the sentiment that it's all "so ridiculous," Walton added, "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.”

The 2026 Golden Globes kick off tonight, Jan. 11, at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton. While you wait to see if Walton and Aimee take home trophies at the annual ceremony, read on for more stars who got nominated—and celebs who surprisingly did not.

Despite The Last of Us’ promising slow burn of a second season, the HBO drama received an apocalyptic exile from the Golden Globes this year.

This flashy nod would certainly make Tengen Uzui smile. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle was nominated in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, which marks the first time a Shonen Jump creation has been recognized by the ceremony.

Though Sinners nabbed seven Golden Globes nominations, including one for star Michael B. Jordan, his costar Wunmi Mosaku did not receive any nods for her role as Annie.

The Netflix hit earned not just one, or two but three nominations for the animated film.

The Pittsburg ER should’ve been revived with a few more nods. While The Pitt’s Noah Wyle fittingly received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Katherine LaNasa’s rousing role as charge nurse Dana Evans wasn’t recognized.

Even the Golden Globes voters couldn’t peel their eyes away from the tense beef in The Girlfriend. Not only did the Prime Video series collect a nod for Best Limited or Anthology Series, but its lead star Robin Wright—who last won a Globe in 2016—also received a nomination for Best Female Actor.

Though the popular film earned a total of five nominations overall, including ones for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it was not included in the category for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy.

Jacob Elordi not only landed a nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Frankenstein, but he's also a double nominee, earning a nod for his role in the series The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

The Wicked director was once again shut out of the Best Director category, despite the film itself earning five nods this year.

The action thriller film came out on top, earning nine nominations including one for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy.

In addition to costar Wunmi, Hailee Steinfeld was also not recognized for her role as Mary in Ryan Coogler's Sinners.

Despite appearing in One Battle After Another for a short period of time, Regina Hall's role undoubtedly made all the difference in the action-comedy.
