Walton Goggins And Nadia Conners: Love, Career, And Family

Let’s talk about Walton Goggins, the guy who's been lighting up screens with his incredible performances in shows like "Fallout" and movies like "The Hateful Eight." But behind the scenes, there's another star in his life—his wife of 13 years, Nadia Conners. Now, Nadia isn’t just any spouse. She's a talented screenwriter and director, and while Walton's career has been soaring, Nadia's been quietly making waves in her own right. So, let's dive into their love story, family life, and what makes Nadia Conners such a remarkable person.

How Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners Found Each Other

Alright, picture this: Walton Goggins, at 53 years old, is a man who knows his way around a good story. But back in 2005, his story took an unexpected turn when he thought he was heading to a business dinner to raise funds. Turns out, it wasn’t just another networking event. It was a blind date with Nadia Conners, set up by some well-meaning friends. Walton shared this tale with the hosts of "The View" in 2019, saying it was a bit awkward at first.

Here’s how it went down: Walton sat down at the table, expecting to talk business, but Nadia, who was already making a name for herself as a writer on "The 11th Hour," seemed to have other plans. She was clearly interested in him, and as the evening progressed, she didn’t shy away from letting him know. By the end of the night, she asked, “You’re going to take me home, right?” Walton, caught off guard, simply replied, “Uh, yes.”

And when they got to her place, she didn’t stop there. She said, “You’re gonna ask for my number, right?” Walton, playing along, said, “Of course I am.” It might have been awkward, but it worked. Despite the unconventional start, the two hit it off and began dating. After six years of dating, they decided to take the plunge and got married in August 2011. Speaking to Military.com later that year, Walton opened up about love, saying, “There’s a reason why the song goes, ‘all you need is love.’ It’s powerful and maybe it’s just that simple.”

Family Ties: Do Walton and Nadia Have Kids?

Yes, they do! The couple welcomed their son, Augustus, in February 2011. Now, here’s the fun part—Augustus was just seven months old when he attended his parents’ wedding. Talk about a family-first mentality! Nadia has been vocal about her admiration for Walton as a father. In a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute, she wrote, “Special moments in and out of character but always the father through and through. I say this every year, but the man you’ve become since becoming a father is something to behold. We love you. The moon and the stars.”

In March 2023, Walton shared a beautiful photo of Nadia and Augustus after a scuba diving trip. The activity was something Walton had waited 12 years to introduce his son to. He captioned the photo, “A profound, lasting Gratitude takes over when one sees the world from that perspective. That’s what it’s done for me. Boy, I needed this. We all do.” It’s clear that family is at the heart of everything for Walton and Nadia.

What Makes Nadia Conners So Special?

Nadia Conners isn’t just a great partner to Walton; she’s also an accomplished writer and director in her own right. Her work on "The Uninvited," which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March 2024, showcases her talents as both a writer and director. She’s also made her mark on TV with her work on "The Tyrant" in 2014 and "The 11th Hour" in 2007. Clearly, she’s not one to shy away from a challenge.

Walton, always the proud partner, took to Instagram to express how proud he is of Nadia’s work on "The Uninvited." He wrote, “20 years she’s been working towards this moment. To be by her side … with this cast … in this story … has been so emotionally overwhelming. I really hope you get to see it. It’s about so many things … but for me, The Uninvited is about an invitation to live a more meaningful life. I love you.”
