Though Melanie and Jason did not play romantic partners in the movie, sparks were flying behind the scenes.
“We were both going through very difficult times in our lives.
We were both going through breakups,” Melanie said on"The Drew Barrymore Show.
““It was like a very tumultuous time.”
Though their behind-the-scenes meet-cute sounds adorable, Jason admitted that it wasn’t actually a fairy-tale meeting.
“It’s not as cute of a story as you would like to think.
It was messy and interesting and weird,” he said.
We get along really well.
He is just such a sweet, easygoing person.
It was nice, he is very easy to be around.
He is such a good actor.”
But that’s not where their shared jobs end.
On “Hollywood Today Live” in 2017, Melanie said: “Now he’s my fiance.
Yes, I know, I’m announcing it” (viaPeople).
“It was cute,” she said.
Since then, the couple hasn’t been shy about confessing their love to one another.
@JasonRitter and I had a daughter in December.
We love her so much; she’s perfect.
Thanks to everyone for your sweet messages."
“A nice lady came and married us.
… Those were our two friends at our wedding and they were great.
They brought a cake and flowers and everything we needed.”
Why the spur-of-the-moment wedding?
And I was like, ‘We have a child.
I can’t leave for six months.’
So, I was like, ‘We have to get married tomorrow.'"
He explained that he was “dealing with some alcoholism issues.”
I felt a little bit too crazy.
Maybe I can be this person."
“It looked so hard,” she told Drew Barrymore.
“He did so much work on himself.
I’m so proud of him.”
“Now we’re like, ‘Should we go back to therapy?'”
For these two, couples therapy was a way to strengthen their relationship.
“Like, even though mistakes were made along the way, you had such a good heart.
What is it?’
Like, so present, wanting to have the conversation and so willing to take responsibility.
And we just kept growing.”
people … b***h you don’t see me on my Peloton!
You don’t see me running through the park with my child.
Skinny does not always equal healthy."
She shared withRolling Stone, “They were asking me, ‘What do you plan to do?
I’m sure the producers will get you a trainer.
They’d love to help you with this.”
Eventually, Melanie said enough is enough.
It’s clear Jason admires Melanie just as much.
