Met Gala 2025: Aimee Lou Wood Reveals Status on The White Lotus Co-Star Walton Goggins Feud Amid Reconciliation Reports
Aimee Lou Wood sets the record straight on working with Walton Goggins as fans speculate on past tension.

Aimee Lou Wood is breaking her silence on the swirling rumors of behind-the-scenes drama with The White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins. The two, who starred opposite each other in the latest season of the hit HBO series, were both in attendance at the 2025 Met Gala—but noticeably avoided walking the red carpet together.
While Aimee stunned in a Priya Ahluwalia ensemble, custom Manolo Blahnik shoes, and Bombas socks, Walton opted for a sharply tailored Thom Browne look. However, fans couldn’t help but notice the lack of interaction between the co-stars on the biggest fashion night of the year. Aimee walked arm-in-arm with fellow actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, who wore Balmain, while Walton made a solo entrance.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Aimee was asked whether she might make a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, when Walton is set to host. Her response was coy, yet supportive: “I couldn’t say… but also I’m not, I’m not doing that,” she said with a laugh. “Yeah, it would be fun. I loved working with Walton. It was the best thing ever. He’s going to be incredible doing SNL. It’s the perfect thing for him to do. It’s going to be hilarious. I’m so excited to see it.”
Earlier in the day, fans had picked up on some cryptic social media activity—likes and comments exchanged between the two actors for the first time in months—suggesting a possible reconciliation or at least a cooling-off of tensions.
As for her red carpet partner, Aimee and Patrick revealed their decision to attend together came out of friendship and nerves. “I heard Aimee was coming and I texted her and said, ‘Can we please go together? I’m so nervous,’” Patrick told Variety. “And she was like, ‘I was going to text you the same thing!’ I went to her hotel and we showed up together. It takes the nerves out of it when you have a real friend with you.”
But it’s the alleged fallout between Aimee and Walton that has kept fans speculating for months. According to industry whispers, tension brewed on the set of The White Lotus during filming last year, reportedly due to clashing acting styles and creative disagreements. Some crew members even hinted that communication between the two stars had become “strictly professional” by the end of the shoot.
