“I was really naive about it at the beginning, but we have gotten to a stage now where it doesn’t bother either of us,” she told the Herald.
“Everyone knows who Ryan is, but we are just two normal people working in an industry that has a spotlight on it.
“Ryan is one of the funniest people in the world and constantly has me laughing. I definitely look to him for advice.
“It’s nice when two partners work in the same industry, because when you get home, the other person understands what you are talking about.
“We can bounce off each other, as we both know the personalities and games out there.”
