White Lotus Star Walton Goggins Caught in Red Carpet Kiss Drama: What Really Happened?

THESE TWO ARE FEUDING!

Walton Goggins, star of hit HBO series The White Lotus, and his wife Nadia Conners seemed to be at odds on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards, leaving fans wondering if their marriage is in trouble.

The 53-year-old actor, known for his dashing good looks, looked every inch the Hollywood heartthrob as he arrived at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. But beneath the polished exterior, sources close to the couple suggest a more complicated reality.

Goggins' wife Nadia, who wore a stunning flowing white gown that showcased her curves, was noticeably eager for some PDA (public display of affection) with her husband. But according to lip reader Nicola Hickling and body language expert Judi James, Goggins seemed less than enthusiastic about getting up close and personal with his spouse.

As the cameras snapped away, Nadia leaned in for a kiss, but was met with a lackluster response from her husband, who gave her a perfunctory peck on the lips before turning back to the crowd of photographers. The awkward moment was caught on camera, leaving fans wondering if there's trouble brewing in paradise.

But what did Nadia say to try and get more out of her reluctant husband? According to sources close to the couple, Nadia urged Goggins to "kiss me" - but he responded with a hesitant "yeah, no problem". When she asked for a redo, saying "I want more, that was stale, one more time", it seemed like Goggins was having none of it.

As the tension between them grew, Goggins was caught on camera wiping his lips clean, muttering "Ugh, really?" under his breath. Nadia's response? She placed her hands on her hip and shifted aside to create some distance between them - a clear sign that she was unhappy with the lack of enthusiasm from her husband.

Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the situation, saying: "They might have been married for twenty years, but Nadia had to try to coax a red carpet kiss from her PDA reluctant-looking husband. Standing with his wife, his body language looked a little touch-wary, with the hand that hung between them remaining firmly in his trouser pocket as Nadia's body language suggested she had something more flirtatious and tactile in mind."

James noted that Goggins' body language was telling - he seemed to be pulling away from his wife, even as she leaned in for a kiss. "Nadia turned to face her husband fully, performing some coy swishing of her arms in what looked like a bid to both get his attention and join her for a kiss," James said. "With her hands clasped behind her back, her chin raised and her lips in full pout she finally got a quick peck on the lips from Walton before he pulled away, sucking his lower lip in."

It's not the first time that Goggins and his wife have been under scrutiny - earlier this year, there were rumors of a feud between Goggins and his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood. The two actors played an age-gap couple in the hit HBO series, who met a tragic fate during the finale.

But Nadia has spoken out about the romance rumors surrounding her husband and co-star Wood. In a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, she said: "It's odd to see it, but it's an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters. I take it as a sign that he's become quite popular."

Goggins and Conners have been married since 2011 and are parents to a son named Augustus, 14. But based on their behavior on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards, it seems like there may be some trouble brewing in paradise.

Is this a case of a marriage that's just going through a rough patch, or is something more sinister at play? Only time will tell - but one thing's for sure: we'll be keeping a close eye on these two.
