In the interview, Minnie expressed that she has no regrets about calling off the engagement with Josh Brolin. She reflected on her past relationships and acknowledged that some of her previous partners were not the right fit for marriage. She candidly admitted that going through with the engagement to Josh would have been a significant mistake in her life.
The discussion about her engagement to Josh Brolin led Minnie to reflect on her views on marriage, which were shaped by her childhood experiences. She revealed that at the age of 12, she discovered that her father had a secret family, and her parents were not legally married during their 16-year relationship. These revelations influenced her desire to be married but also led her to choose partners who were not suitable for a long-term commitment.
Despite her past experiences, Minnie shared that she is currently in a fulfilling relationship with writer and director Addison O'Dea, whom she has been dating since 2019. She described Addison as devoted, loving, and everything she had envisioned in a husband, even though he does not share her desire to get married.
Minnie's journey through relationships and her evolving perspective on marriage offer a glimpse into her personal life and the lessons she has learned along the way. Her openness about her past engagements and current relationship sheds light on the complexities of love and commitment in the entertainment industry.
