The actress told People in July that being a long-distance couple was “a challenge.”

When she first went public with the romance, she explained the attraction.
‘His voice had the most beautiful timbre. I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t talk to this guy right now because he’s so sexy,'” she said.

‘He is an incredible writer. It’s beautiful, very sexy. He does it for me. “We all have our type, like it’s just attractive,” he gushed.
