Michelle Monaghan Reveals Why Living with Parker Posey Was a Dream Come True

by

Michelle Monaghan is giving her resort experience five stars. 

Actress from The White Lotus, specifically portraying Jaclyn Lemon in season three on HBO Max, praised her actual co-star Parker Posey (character Victoria Ratliff) during their living arrangement while working on the third series instalment, receiving only positive comments.

Michelle shared with TopMob News that she developed a close friendship with Parker Posey. “For approximately a month or six weeks, she lived with me, and we had an absolutely fantastic time together.

For what feels like ages, I’ve been an ardent admirer of Parker’s creative genius. Yet, the unexpected turn of events that led to sharing a villa with him wasn’t something premeditated. You see, my castmates, Carrie Coon (Laurie) and Leslie Bibb (Kate), happened to pair up in their own rental, leaving us no choice but to share this space together.

Michelle clarified, “Carrie and Leslie ultimately chose a villa, and since I knew Parker was arriving in two days, she took the other room. It felt like I had won something special because I was going to encounter my favorite ’90s indie icon.

In her words, the actress from “Dazed and Confused” did not fall short of expectations. Michelle described her as a unique woman who exudes an otherworldly yet down-to-earth charm. She is wise beyond her years and engaging in conversation, making it easy to spend countless hours talking with her.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share my recent experience as the first-ever ambassador for U Beauty, during their launch of the “Meet U In Your Moment” campaign on March 18. I had the privilege of learning some valuable wellness insights from Parker, who I find to be a bit like a modern-day alchemist, always prepared with an extensive collection of remedies that she carries along during her travels. Her unique approach to self-care and holistic living has left a lasting impression on me, which I’m eager to pass along to you.

Michelle said, “She’s the kind of person who suggests, ‘With that much shooting, you’re bound to get tired. You might want to try ashwagandha,'” explaining further. To which I replied, “Ashwagandha? What’s that?” She then assured me, “Don’t worry, I’ll leave some by your bed.

As a lifestyle expert, I can attest to the power of incorporating stress-fighting remedies into my daily routine. Just as I experienced, waking up at the crack of dawn after a long night’s work, I would find my ashwagandha supplement and a few other supporting vitamins ready and waiting for me. A myriad of lotions, potions, and various wellness items were also on hand to help me maintain balance and vitality throughout the day.

Michelle added, “She was like the mother hen looking after us all.”

Indeed, it’s worth mentioning that Parker wasn’t the only cast member from White Lotus season three who developed a strong connection with Michelle off-set. Besides Parker, the actress shared that she spent time with Natasha Rothwell (Belinda Lindsey) and Walter Goggins (Rick Hatchett), in addition to having plenty of quality moments with Carrie and Leslie. As they portrayed her onscreen best friends, it’s no surprise that their relationship extended beyond the show.

She went on about the stress-relieving plant, “Indeed, I’d arrive at six in the morning after a whole night of hunting, and there it was – the ashwagandha and a few other small supplements, along with various creams, oils, and assorted remedies.

Michelle added, “She was like the mother hen looking after us all.”

Without a doubt, Parker wasn’t the only cast member from the third season of White Lotus who developed a strong connection with Michelle off-set. In fact, the actress from True Detective, also spent time with Natasha Rothwell (Belinda Lindsey) and Walter Goggins (Rick Hatchett). Moreover, she shared a significant amount of quality time with Carrie and Leslie, as they played her on-screen best friends in the series.

Michelle explained, “We women formed quite a close-knit circle. Since our narrative didn’t quite align with the others’, we ended up spending a great deal of time together. This wasn’t just during filming, but also off set. We’d often hang out, eat together, and even engage in water aerobics.

Delve deeper into the personal lives of the stars from ‘White Lotus’: Uncover fascinating details about their romantic tales by continuing here.

On the TV show “The White Lotus,” Jason Isaacs’ character Timothy Ratliff is wed to Parker Posey’s Victoria Ratliff, but in real life, he is married to Emma Hewitt.

In my own words, reflecting on 2020, I penned in The Big Issue, “She is an integral part of the person I am – the one I respect and wish to be acquainted with. Without her presence, there’s simply no version of myself that resonates or is desirable.

In the ’80s, Jason encountered a previous documentary filmmaker at the University of London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. At that time, he was deeply involved in a long-term relationship with drugs, as he put it. However, this relationship ended in 1998 when he achieved sobriety.

As a newly sober me, I recall my beloved wife expressing relief, saying at last we could purchase our dream home, start a family, and move forward with life. Yet, I retorted with surprise, “Dear one, it seems you’ve got it all wrong! I’ve just met the real me, and I feel like I’ve been reborn. We need to court and get to know each other all over again.

Later on, when he inquired about her preference for someone who seemed constantly unbalanced, she replied by expressing that she had always admired his true self and the potential she saw within him.

The couple wed in 2001 and welcomed daughters Lily and Ruby.

In 2008, Jason shared with The Guardian that she made the choice to leave her thriving career behind, travel to distant locations accompanying me, without much purpose or connection to the team. Her primary aim was to conceive a child. They faced some delays and eventually resorted to IVF, which proved successful for them on two occasions.

Fans have been noticing the frequent appearance of Patrick Schwarzenegger in The White Lotus, but for a full decade, he’s been sharing his deepest feelings with his fiancée Abby Champion privately.

Reflecting back, Abby reminisced to The Daily Front Row nine years since her chance encounter with Patrick, who portrays Ratliff’s son Saxon on the HBO series. They met through a mutual friend who I was out with, and Patrick happened to know. We owe this friend a debt of gratitude because it was him who brought us together, ultimately leading to our engagement.

Although they haven’t tied the knot yet, Patrick proposed to Abby on the beach in December 2023, sharing their wedding plans with GQ last September for a 2025 ceremony.

In essence, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver stated that his role is simply to ensure her happiness, whatever she desires to do. He’s ready to offer advice when needed but primarily exists to support her and create the best day possible for her. At present, they are content with their relationship as each other’s top supporters. On Abby’s birthday, Patrick expressed his pride in her, stating that she inspires him. He admires her dedication to family, friends, faith, and work, considering it a privilege to be on this journey with her and eagerly looking forward to seeing where life takes them.

Curious about the story of how Sam Nivola and Iris Apatow became a couple? Well, it wasn’t through some secret society of famous offspring, as he humorously suggested to British Vogue. Although their parents—actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola on one side, and Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow on the other—are a powerhouse duo in the entertainment industry, they didn’t play matchmaker. Instead, it was a mutual friend named Isa Barrett who introduced them at a London bar.

In an interview with Teen Vogue back in February, Sam (who plays Lochlan on The White Lotus) shared that he tried to ask Iris out initially, but she was in a relationship at the time and wasn’t interested. However, when her romance ended, Sam took another shot at starting something between them. They made their relationship Instagram official in the spring of 2024 and have since moved in together.

As Sam put it to Teen Vogue, “I’m so in love with Iris, and she’s just amazing. When you’re young like us, it’s easy to think that living together will become monotonous after a while. But I don’t believe we would ever grow tired of each other because our love is too strong.

Leslie Bibb’s romantic journey with Sam Rockwell didn’t begin at the White Lotus in Thailand, but rather in the lobby of Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. As she was preparing for dinner with some friends, someone waved at her from behind. She turned around and it was him. He was staying there because he was working on “Frost/Nixon.”

Their connection was immediate. “He smiled at me and I thought, ‘Oh no, what’s that?'” she said. “Sometimes you just get struck.”

Leslie and Sam went on their first date about a week later. Initially, the actress from “Talladega Nights” tried to give off an uninterested vibe in a serious relationship with the Oscar winner, but she couldn’t conceal her true emotions.

“I was like, ‘I’m really not into anything,'” she added, “and then I think three weeks later, I was like, ‘I love you so much.'”

Today, the couple, who have never married, are still going strong. On Instagram, Leslie wrote for their October 2023 anniversary: “Sweet sixteen sammy…” This phrase might have been from their first or second year together; time is flying by and blurring into one fantastic ride with him…I feel very fortunate to get to love this person and even luckier to be loved by him.

In contrast to Jaclyn Lemon chattering about her friends in private, Michelle Monaghan consistently praises her spouse Pete White. She will forever be grateful for his backing when she filmed an intimate scene with Tom Cruise for “Mission: Impossible III” shortly after their wedding in 2005.

Reflecting on that time, Michelle shared with Collider in 2023, “I had just gotten married and skipped my honeymoon to start filming right away. Then I remember going to work, and Tom and I had an intimate scene, which was the first scene. Afterwards, I came home from work, feeling nervous, and Pete reassured me, saying, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll follow his lead. You’re going to have a great time. It’s going to be wonderful.'”

Pleased with how things turned out, Pete remarked, “How amazing is it that you were making out with Tom Cruise on our honeymoon?” since they are both fans.

As Michelle stated, “That demonstrates the kind of man I married – one who has always been supportive and excited about opportunities.”

Regardless of the challenges life presents, including raising children Willow and Tommy, Michelle and Pete collaborate effectively.

“My husband and I discuss our priorities on Sundays,” she told Lifeminute in 2017, “and we ask each other, ‘What are your goals for this week? What can I help you achieve or create time for you to pursue, whether it’s personal time or time dedicated to achieving our own aims?’

Despite the fact that Carrie Coon’s character Laurie embarks on a trip to Thailand with friends on The White Lotus, her real-life best friend is actually her husband Tracy Letts. They initially met in 2010 while working together on Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, where Tracy won a Tony Award for his role as George and Carrie received a nomination for her portrayal of Honey.

Three years later, they got married in an unexpected way – their wedding took place in a hospital after Carrie’s emergency gallbladder surgery. As Tracy explained to Vanity Fair in 2013, “We were going to go to the courthouse to get married, and the night before, I suddenly came down with pains. We went to the emergency room, and I had my gallbladder removed the next day. So she found the Lutheran chaplain there in the hospital, who had never performed a wedding before, who came to our hospital room and performed the ceremony there. It was a lovely, intimate, personal ceremony.”

In 2018, Carrie and Tracy welcomed their first child, son Haskell, and three years later they had a daughter (whose name has not been disclosed). They are still together and going strong. Contrary to some rumors sparked by an interview, they do not have an open marriage; Carrie clarified this in February 20XX, writing on social media, “Settle down, internet! I said ‘open-minded’ not ‘open.’

Walton Goggins can credit one of his friends with introducing him to his wife, Nadia Conners. As he recounted on The View, his friend overheard the director talking with others at a Los Angeles restaurant in 2005 and encouraged her to join a dinner the following night to meet Walton.

At this dinner, which was organized to raise funds for a movie, Walton initially believed Nadia to be one of the business associates. As they sat down together, she turned her back on everyone else at the table and asked him about himself. Intrigued, he spent the entire dinner sharing his story with her.

“I didn’t talk to anyone there that I was supposed to talk to,” he admitted later. At the end of the dinner, Nadia asked if he would take her home, and when he did, she requested that he ask for her number. He obliged and they began their relationship from there.

Walton and Nadia welcomed their son, Augustus, in 2011 and married later that same year (he was previously married to Leanne Goggins). In a February Instagram post, the TV star expressed his deep love for his family: “I love you both beyond measure,” he wrote. “More than I could hope for and certainly more than I deserve.

Regrettably, Gaitok! Although it seems that Tayme Thapthimthong’s character harbors feelings for Mook on The White Lotus, it appears that Blackpink member Jennie (Tayme Thapthimthong) is currently in a relationship with French businessman Frédéric Arnault.

Though they haven’t confirmed the romance rumors, their connection has been hinted at for some time now. Back in November 2022, Frédéric shared pictures of himself attending a Blackpink concert. Since then, people have noticed the former TAG Heuer CEO and Jennie spending time together and traveling. While he’s attended many of her shows and several premieres, she’s made appearances at the 2024 TAG Heuer Formula 1 Kith Launch Celebration.

For those who are paying close attention, in her song “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” Jennie sings about a “green-eyed French boy” who has her feeling dizzy.

Arnas Fedaravicius’ character Valentin seems to have a real-life connection with Emeraude Toubia, following his divorce from Prince Royce. The Shadowhunters and White Lotus actress and the With Love alum seemed to confirm their relationship on Instagram in 2023, more than a year after her split announcement in March 2022.

Although they’ve kept most of their romance under wraps, occasional social media posts and shared experiences like filming together in Thailand hint at their relationship. Emeraude expressed her pride for Arnas on Instagram in January, writing, “From one amazing moment to the next! So proud of you, @arnasfederman! Thank you for bringing me along on this unforgettable ride.”

After you confirm your check-in at the White Lotus, Pam is expected to ask for your phone.
However, the actress portraying her, Morgana O’Reilly, didn’t hesitate to use her own device to share this heartwarming photo of herself and husband Peter Salmon on social media.
Although they both attended Unitec in New Zealand, they first met each other in New York City. As Morgana recalled in a 2022 interview for her alma mater’s website, it was quite serendipitous as they fell in love in the city, worked in the same industry, and had numerous mutual acquaintances without ever crossing paths.
They later got married and started a family with children named Luna and Ziggy. However, their family isn’t their only collaborative project. In 2020, Morgana and Peter teamed up to create the series “Inside.” More recently, they transformed her stage show “Stories About My Body” into a movie.
As Morgana shared on Instagram in August, “Me and this guy just made a movie about our love story and the birth of our children (amongst other tales),” leaving her awestruck once again by Peter’s talent.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share some intriguing updates about Jon Gries’ character, Greg Hunt (known as Gary in season three). On-screen, his on-and-off relationship with Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid was a highlight of the series until her character’s heartbreaking demise in season two. Farewell, Tanya.

Off-camera, the talented actor has recently tied the knot – very recently indeed! In an interview for Harper’s Bazaar on March 4, Jon introduced his new wife, without disclosing her name. He casually mentioned that they became husband and wife “as of Friday,” suggesting that one of his last Google searches might have been the directions to their courthouse ceremony.

Perhaps it would be wise not to plan a honeymoon at The White Lotus resort… just saying!
