Carrie Coon is setting the record straight about her marriage.
The White Lotus actress, 44, has been married to actor and playwright Tracy Letts since 2013, and in a recent interview, she opened up about the dynamics of their relationship—especially the rumors that they have an open marriage.
During an appearance on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast, Carrie shared that she and Tracy, 59, are very open with each other and have honest conversations about everything.
“That’s the nice thing about a marriage where everything’s on the table: you talk about everything,” she explained. “We’re not jealous people. Like, we don’t have any of those hang-ups. So we never wanna be like, the police. You know? It’s nice to be in a relationship where we can always talk about, like, ‘Who are you attracted to on set?’”
She even finds it fun. “Tracy’s the kind of person who notices every single woman on the street… And he always tells me who he has a crush on. It’s fun. It’s interesting to know what your partner’s into. I think it’s titillating.”
When asked if things ever cross the line, she responded, “We don’t really like lines. Lines are really boring. I mean, look, life is short. Finite.”
Carrie also shared her thoughts on monogamy, calling it something “we’ve imposed on ourselves.”
“We were supposed to have babies and die when we were like 30. And that’s not the way life is anymore,” she said. “So I think you have to stay—you have to kinda be open-minded about what engages you in the world and what sparks your imagination and where your passion is. And I think if you’re willing to stay open to that, then you’re living a more full life. And I don’t think either one of us would wanna keep the other from living.”
After her comments went viral, many people assumed she was confirming that she and Tracy have an open marriage. But Carrie quickly shut that down with a tweet: “Settle down, internet! I said ‘open-minded’ not ‘open’. 😂❤️🙉🙈🙊”
Looks like Carrie and Tracy are simply doing marriage their own way—no labels needed!
