Speculation about Goggins's marriage arose previously amid rumors involving his "The White Lotus" co-star, Aimee Lou Wood.

I take it as a sign that he’s become quite popular."
Who Is Nadia Conners?
Nadia Conners is a director and has been with Walton Goggins since 2004. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, but also spent part of her childhood in Egypt. Her background has shaped her perspective on community and motherhood.
"Los Angeles is very spread out and you spend a lot of time in your car, so it’s easy to spend days at home alone with your child," she reflected. "I’m half-Egyptian and you don’t see that there. The mothers are never alone; there are always aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins around to help and support. We were never meant to do it alone.”
Nadia Conners' Career as a Director
Conners recently released her first feature film, "The Uninvited." She has been working towards her goal of becoming a filmmaker since she was 25. Her husband, Walton Goggins, often supports her work by reading lines and providing feedback.
Family Life in the Hudson Valley
In 2021, the family, including their son Augustus and Nadia's mother Sumaya, moved to a home in upstate New York's Hudson Valley. This move was motivated by a desire to connect with nature and find a stronger sense of community. "We weren’t running away from Los Angeles. We were running toward something," Goggins said.
