Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb have been together for 18 years. She just shared why she refuses to marry him.

Earlier this year, the third season of The White Lotus transported us to the exotic, coastal shores of Thailand.

We're still dying (for lack of a better word) over all the characters who were caught behaving badly at the luxury resort, but we thought we'd take a peek at the cast's real-life relationships.

Because let's be honest — we're all curious about who these talented stars go home to after filming those awkward, tension-filled scenes.

Here's a look at the real-life loves of The White Lotus Season 3 cast members.

Leslie Bibb has been with actor Sam Rockwell since 2007, and while they've kept their relationship pretty low-key, we're obsessed with this talented pair.

Despite being together for nearly two decades, Leslie and Sam have never married.

"Listen, I love Sam Rockwell," Leslie told Jenna Bush Hager on Today with Jenna & Friends this week. "I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time. I love him. I do not want to get married."

Why? Well, according to Leslie, it has a lot to do with their upbringings.

"Maybe it's probably something about the way we grew up, but I feel like if it ain't broke, don't fix it," she explained. "I feel like we are married!"

Leslie claims that her feelings about marriage go way back — long before she even met Sam at LA's Chateau Marmont in 2007.

"It annoyed the crap out of me because he's like, 'Really, you don't want to get married?'" Leslie recalled of their early conversations. "I was like, 'Stop saying it. I already said I don't want to marry you. Stop asking me like I'm going to pull a sneak on you.'"

Sam previously spoke about why they weren't married in an interview with The Standard in September 2022.

"Leslie and I are very happy. [We're] basically married. She's in my will. I feel like we are married. We live like a married couple," he told the publication.

He also spoke to why they don't have children, a question the couple often face.

"We just like it the way it is," he said. "Listen, if I knew they'd turn out great, then maybe — but there's just no guarantee... I don't want to be selfish and be a bad parent. It takes a lot to be a parent."

The couple celebrated 16 years together back in October 2023.

"Sweet sixteen Sammy... was this from the first year, maybe the second, who knows we were babies and all the time is flying by and blurring into one helluva a ride with you," Bibb wrote on her Instagram.

"I feel very lucky to get to love this human and even luckier to be loved by him... give someone you a squeeze today and look them in the eye and tell them how you feel about them...it does the body good."

Long-term romances in the entertainment industry never come easily, but these two have a hack for keeping their love alive.

Bibb posted on Instagram that the couple have enforced a 'three-week rule' when it comes to spending time apart for work commitments.

"Reunited…and it feels so good..." she wrote in the caption.

"Sometimes rules have to be broken and our three-week rule had to be three months because of our work schedules and gawddamn nothin' feels as good as being back with [Sam]."

In a fun White Lotus twist, Sam Rockwell also made a cameo in season three, episode five as Rick's (Walton Goggins) old friend (who got addicted to drugs, then sex, now Buddhism).

Yes, that Schwarzenegger. The son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver is starring as Saxon Ratliff in the recent season. And in his personal life, he's in a long-term relationship with model Abby Champion. The gorgeous couple have been together since 2016.

They're all over each other's Instagrams, serving us endless couple shots from their fancy parties, enviable holidays, and those suspiciously perfect "casual" date nights.

They've been engaged since 2023, and we're absolutely dying to see those wedding photos drop one day soon.

Michelle Monaghan and Peter White.

Michelle Monaghan, who plays Hollywood actress Jaclyn Lemon in the new season, has been married to graphic designer Peter White since 2005. And ladies, this is what we call a supportive partner.

Their honeymoon wasn't exactly the dream location like the Maldives or Paris — it was spent on the set of Mission Impossible: III, where Michelle was busy locking lips with none other than Tom Cruise as his on-screen fiancée. Talk about a third-wheel situation.

"[My husband] goes, 'How cool is it that you were making out with Tom Cruise on our honeymoon?' Because we're just such fans," Monaghan told Collider.

The couple has since welcomed two children together — daughter Willow and son Tommy — and have maintained one of Hollywood's more low-key and drama-free marriages. We love to see it.

Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners.

Veteran actor Walton Goggins, known for his incredible character work in shows like Justified and The Righteous Gemstones, is married to filmmaker Nadia Conners. The couple tied the knot in 2011 and have maintained a relatively private relationship. They welcomed a son in February 2011, a few months before their wedding.

The two absolutely love travelling together as a family. As soon as Goggins wraps up a project, he's looking for their next trip.

"As soon I'm done, I'm like, 'Let's hit the road, man!'" Goggins told People in April 2024. "I don't know how to be still."

Lalisa Manobal and Frédéric Arnault.

BLACKPINK's Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) just made her acting debut in The White Lotus Season 3, and fans worldwide are thrilled. As one of K-pop's biggest stars, Lisa keeps her personal life extremely private.

While Lisa has not publicly confirmed her relationship, she has been rumoured to be dating Frédéric Arnault, son of LVMH founder and CEO Bernard Arnault for quite some time now.

The two have been seen together on several occasions, including trips to Tokyo and Italy.

Carrie Coon and Tracy Letts.

Carrie Coon, who plays Laurie Duffy, has a relationship that's a match made in theatre heaven. She's married to Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Tracy Letts. The pair met while working at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago.

They married in 2013 and have since welcomed two children together. Both critically-acclaimed in their respective fields, they occasionally collaborate professionally, making them one of the entertainment industry's most respected power couples. Let's be real — while the rest of us are arguing over whose turn it is to take out the bins, these two are casually collecting awards and creating critically acclaimed art together. The audacity.

Jason Isaacs and Emma Hewitt.

British actor Jason Isaacs (yes, Lucius Malfoy himself) is another standout this season. He's been married to documentary filmmaker Emma Hewitt since 2001 and the couple now share two daughters.

Isaacs has been very open about his own personal struggle with substance abuse in the past, and credited his wife for her support of him during the challenging times.

"I've subsequently asked her why she'd want to be with someone who was just out of their head the entire time. And she says she always knew. That she always loved who I really was and who I really could be," Isaacs told Big Issue.

Sam Nivola and Iris Apatow.

Sam Nivola, who plays Lochlan Ratliff in the show, is dating none other than Iris Apatow — yes, THAT Apatow, as in the youngest daughter of comedy royalty Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann.

While Sam Nivola and Iris Apatow have been keeping things on the down-low, all eyes landed squarely on the pair after The White Lotus season 3 premiere. And honestly? We can't look away too. They're too cute.

The Perfect Couple actor basically confirmed the rumours when he casually dropped some cute Instagram photos in April 2024. The snaps showed the pair together in Thailand, where — coincidentally — he happened to be filming The White Lotus.
