“White Lotus” co-stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood have sparked feud rumors after the HBO show wrapped its third season.
Several
eagle-eyed fans
began theorizing there was trouble in Thai paradise when they noticed the actors — who played love interests Rick and Chelsea — aren’t following each other on Instagram anymore.
Additionally, netizens believe the “Shield” alum may have blocked Wood because her comments on previous posts have disappeared from his page, while his still appear on hers.
The rumors were further fueled when Goggins, 53, and the “Sex Education” alum, 31, posted tributes to their characters’ love story on social media without tagging each other.

Page Six has reached out to reps for both actors but did not immediately hear back.
Despite their social media activity, the “Righteous Gemstones” actor
gushed about his on-screen partner
on Instagram following Sunday’s season finale.
“Thank you Aimee Lou for being my partner… a journey I will never forget,” he captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes snaps on Monday.
For her part, Wood
posted a photo
of her and Goggins along with the caption, “The perfect storm 🩷 ☯️ ♾️.”

Despite the rumors, the actors still talk about each other in a positive light in interviews, with Wood expressing how “sad” she was that Goggins had skipped the finale viewing party.
“I was sad that Walton wasn’t there because it was something that we did together but also it’s so f–king Rick and Chelsea,” she
told the Hollywood Reporter
.
“Like, of course Walton had to watch it alone and of course I had to watch it in the group because there is so much Aimee in Chelsea and so much Walton in Rick.”

However, the alleged tension between Hoggins and Wood isn’t the only drama surrounding “The White Lotus.”
Last week, the show’s composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer told
the New York Times
that he and the show’s creator, Mike White, “had our last fight forever” before he
quit the series
.
He also claimed they couldn’t get on the same page creatively because White “was just saying no to anything” while creating the Season 3 theme song.

Following Tapia de Veer’s comments, White called the interview a
“kind of a bitch move”
as it aired while the season was wrapping up.
“I honestly don’t know what happened, except now I’m reading his interviews because he decides to do some p.r. campaign about him leaving the show,” White
said on “The Howard Stern Show”
Tuesday.
