Then, everyone assumes her musing about West Side Story bringing Rachel her “best friend in the entire world” is a reference to Josh. Unless she’s besties with Steven Spielberg, in which case, never mind.

"For context: (1) spending christmas eve with a man i have never met before, maybe you know him, he seems pretty cool— like he could be the love child of iron man and john wick, idk though.”

19 April, 2022
Rachel says Josh helps her stay grounded amid the spotlight, telling Elle, “There’s always this deep understanding of what I go through. Since [his experience was] on a different scale, he’s able to bring me back to earth and tell me when it really doesn’t matter.
"Because he’s removed from it to a certain degree, he’s able to just snap me out of it, and tell me to stop checking my phone, or remind me of what actually matters, and remind me to be present, and to not focus on the opinions of 3,000 faceless strangers on the internet.”

14 November, 2023
Josh and Rachel gushed about mixing their work and love lives with People, and we're literally melting.
“Having a familiar face on any set, I think any young actor can attest, is the biggest form of comfort,” Rachel said. “And also as his girlfriend, his friend, and his coworker, it’s amazing to see the trajectory of his career, and to witness his rise to stardom. I love him so much.”
He added, “It was a really great source of comfort for me to have her with me so far away from home. We were in a different country. We got to explore that country together. It was absolutely lovely. I feel very fortunate.”
Of course, the couple shared they would debrief with each other after long days on set. “It’s acting and she’s very good at it and she’s very professional and she’s a wonderful coworker,” Josh told the outlet.
“I think we were able to communicate when one of us was down. It was nice. We were good support for one another.
