On the Met Gala red carpet, Entertainment Tonight asked Wood if she will pop up as a guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend as Goggins serves as host. “I couldn’t say, but also I’m not, I’m not doing that.” ET then asked, “Would you? and Wood responded, “Yeah, why not? Why not? Yeah, it would be fun. I loved working with Walton. It was the best thing ever.”

Goggins and Wood first sparked feud rumors after the show’s April 6 finale as fans noticed that they were both no longer following each other on Instagram and didn’t tag each other in photos featuring the other on their respective accounts.
But one month later — earlier in the day on Monday, in fact — Goggins and Wood surprised fans when they began following each other on the social-media platform once more.

Meanwhile, Wood stuck up for Schwarzenegger over the weekend, calling him the “hardest working and kindest man ever” in a post on her Instagram Stories.
Her post was in defense of Schwarzenegger as he has faced claims of nepotism due to his famous parents, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Wood shared a clip of Schwarzenegger on Dear Media’s Real Pod podcast from February, where he talked about how it feels to constantly be told he “only got this role cause his dad’s in the industry.”
“There’ll be other people that’ll say, ‘I wonder what his dad paid him to get that job,’ ” he said in part. “What am I going to do? Convince all these people that that’s not true? It’s just such a waste of my energy.”
