Their professional connection gradually turned into a personal relationship over time.
Despite their high-profile status, the couple has kept their relationship relatively private, occasionally appearing together at public events and outings.
“She’s unbelievable, because we have so many things in common. After my therapy was finished, after I was finished [shooting the 2013 film Escape Plan], I called her and took her out for lunch to say thank you,” Schwarzenegger told People. “And then one thing led to the next.”

“We have so many things in common,” Schwarzenegger told People. “I think the world of her. I love that she’s into working. She’s clearly independent. She just is driven as hell.”
