Aimee Lou Wood sparked romance rumors with her Happy Valley costar Adam Long after they were spotted packing on the PDA.
Wood, 31, was photographed with Long, 34, in London on Saturday, June 7, as they enjoyed a coffee date. According to photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Wood and Long kissed outside a cafe during the casual outing.
The pair have been linked since they filmed the upcoming BBC series Film Club, which was cocreated by Wood. They will play a couple in a show about Wood’s character, Evie, who sets up a film club with her best friend Noa (Nabhaan Rizwaan).
“It’s Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn’t left the house in six months after a wobble, and tonight, things are different. Noa’s got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending,” reads the official synopsis. “That reality is hitting. That they’re going to be forced to consider for the first time they might be more than just friends.”
Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood became close friends before playing love interests on The White Lotus. The costars met on the season 3 set, after securing the roles of Rick and Chelsea, respectively. Despite the age gap between their characters, Goggins and Wood spoke fondly about the fictional couple’s bond. “I think that’s such […]
The synopsis continued: “Neither of them are the best when it comes to emotions but this time those emotions might be impossible to ignore … As if life weren’t challenging enough already, Evie is going to be navigating this amongst the eccentricity of her family home — living with her fiercely loving single mum Suz, sister Izzie, and handsome boyfriend/sometime man of the house Josh.”
The description for the show describes Happy Valley as “a witty and emotional show about love and family, about whether we should follow our hearts or heads, and being in love with a friend.”
Wood’s outing with Long comes after she recently made headlines with another costar. Earlier this month, Wood and her White Lotus love interest, Walton Goggins, broke their silence about their relationship.
“There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,” Goggins, 53, declared during a joint interview with Variety on Wednesday, June 4, where he got “choked up” about Wood. “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.”
Goggins made it clear that he and Wood “will be friends for f***ing ever.” Elsewhere in the interview, the duo revealed romantic scenes they filmed that ultimately got cut.
“We designed the whole journey, even down to the fact that Chelsea gets on Rick in the first [love] scene. Then in the last episode, it was Rick picking Chelsea up. It was so, so delicate,” Wood detailed. “The last [sex scene] was two people who were free. It was this very long, suspended moment of these two people looking at each other. It was so powerful.”
Goggins jokingly yelled a message for creator Mike White, saying, “F*** you, Mike! We want a director’s cut!”
