Who Is Nadia Conners? Get to Know the Wife of ‘Fallout’ and ‘Justified’ Star Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins’ career is red hot as Fallout takes shape and ramps up for a second season. The actor’s wife of 13 years, Nadia Conners, a screenwriter and director, has been working behind the scenes while her hubby’s star rises.
How Did Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners Meet?
Walton, 53, told hosts of The View in 2019 that his first date with his future wife was unexpected and a bit uncomfortable.
In 2005, his friends had told him he was heading to a business dinner to raise money, but it turned out to be a blind date with Nadia. When he sat down with everyone at the table, The 11th Hour writer seemed to only be interested in him.
“I didn’t talk to anyone there that I was supposed to talk to, and at the end of it, she said, ‘You’re going to take me home, right?’” he told the hosts of the show. “And I said ‘Uh, yes.’”
“When I got her home she said, ‘You’re gonna ask for my number, right?’ I said, ‘Of course I am.’”
“I guess it was a bit awkward,” he added.
Despite the strange start, the two hit it off and began dating. After six years together, they finally tied the knot in August 2011.
Speaking about his new wife with Military.com in September of the same year, Walton said, “There’s a reason why the song goes, ‘all you need is love, all you need is love.’ It’s powerful and maybe it’s just that simple.”
Do Walton Goggins and Nadia Conners Have Any Children?
The couple welcomed a son in February 2011, Augustus, who attended his parents’ wedding at 7 months old.
Nadia posted a Father’s Day tribute to Walton, writing, “Special moments in and out of character but always the father through and through. I say this every year but it 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 posted a photo of his wife and son just after they had gone scuba diving – a hobby the Hateful Eight star said he waited 12 years to introduce Augustus to.
“A profound, lasting Gratitude takes over when one sees the world from that perspective,” he captioned the photo. “That’s what it’s done for me. Boy I needed this. We all do.”
What Does Nadia Conners Do?
Nadia is a writer and director, doing both on The Uninvited, which premiered at SXSW Film Festival in March 2024. She has also written for the T.V. series The Tyrant in 2014, and was known for her work on The 11th Hour, in 2007.
Walton starred in The Uninvited and took to Instagram to gush about his wife’s work.
“20 years she’s been working towards this moment,” he wrote. “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 the me The Uninvited is about an invitation to live a more meaningful life. I love you.”
