Meyer later admitted that her connection with Maguire was strong enough for them to discuss their love lives and other personal concerns they were dealing with at the moment.

"We talk about our significant others and 'Hey, you got the kids? I'm going for a weekend away,' you know what I mean?" she added. "Now it's like, anything, or I mean, 'Hey, I'm having a hard day' or 'Hey, you did this, it really bummed me out.'"

Meyer said, "We're able to get through it, but it all goes back to the universe has your back if you stay on track."
