In 2020, the two participated in a joint interview with ET to share how they have supported each other and their careers.

“To have someone that believes in me the way you do when I don’t believe in myself and that shows me how to fight for the things that are important to me and the things that I want and the things that I deserve… I’m very lucky,” Gellar told Doherty at the time.
