Walton Goggins' spouse, Nadia Conners, has been working in the film and TV industry like her husband, though she has mainly remained behind the scenes, driving the vision for many productions. Her most recent work features a collaboration with her husband.
Nadia Conners is the second woman the actor married after separating from his first wife. The couple will celebrate 12 years of marital bliss in August 2023 and 18 years of romance by the year's end.
Walton Goggins cemented his name in the entertainment industry with astounding performances in films like "Django Unchained," "The Hateful Eight," "Predators," and the crime series "Justified." However, the Hollywood veteran's spouse is also a star in her own right.
