In that same interview, Howey called Hampton his partner, explaining how they've developed a very close friendship throughout their journey on the show and that he considers her one of his best friends.
The actress has also spoken on her relationship with Howey, mirroring the sentiment about them being best friends to EW and adding that he is one of her soulmates in this world. "Soulmates come in so many different ways; you can just really see a person, and we see each other in a way that is very, very rare," she expressed. "It's because we've been on this journey together and have this respect for each other, and he's my protector and he's my best friend."
Since the show ended, the two have continued to get together along with other cast members for reunions. While everyone misses seeing this duo on screen together, they have definitely been busy with new projects, and hopefully, we'll see them work together in the future.
