How to Watch the 2025 Emmys and Live From E! Red Carpet
Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell's romance continues to bloom at the Emmys 2025.
The real-life White Lotus couple exclusively told Live From E!: 2025 Emmys correspondent Zuri Hall on the red carpet at the Sept. 14 ceremony that costarring in the HBO series only strengthened their bond. (Click here to see all the celebrity arrivals.)
"Our storylines never intersect, but it was nice to have him there," Leslie said of filming in Thailand. "It was really nice to be able to have this very important experience in my life and he understands it in a very deep way. If I make a reference to something, he knows what I'm talking about."
And given how Leslie has become "very tight" with her other castmates, she's thrilled that Sam—who was nominated for his portrayal as the shady Frank—also got to see how those friendships grew first-hand.
"To just have him be a part of that family," the 51-year-old added, "I didn't understand how much I would appreciate it."
It also helped that she and the White Lotus cast filmed season three in a tropical paradise.
"Bangkok's really a nice place," Leslie gushed. "I was there two-and-a-half weeks. It was great. We took a boat to the gym, boat to the cocktails."

In addition to a nomination for Sam, Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood were up for awards in supporting actor categories. Scott Glenn also earned a nod for Outstanding Guest Actor.
And for Leslie, she's proud that her partner of almost 18 years is being recognized for his work.
“He's a great actor, and we're lucky to have him," she told Entertainment Weekly. "I think he chewed up that character."
