I found my guy my love Addison.He's Gemini and as unconventional and as embracing of the lack of need for a status quo we define what that is Driver explained on The Spirit Daughter podcast. That has been so freeing to be with someone for whom the weird idiosyncrasies were not a problem at all but rather to be embraced and supported. Speaking about long-distance relationships the British-American actress shared that's exactly how we live.Genuinely that is how it is we are constantly in different places and he has coached me and how it is okay. I love that. I think because other people's reaction to it was always this is a huge problem that you want things to be this way or that this is the way your life naturally unfolds the resistance to that I always thought was wrong.The actress who dated Matt Damon during the filming of Good Will Hunting for a year until 1998 and was briefly engaged to Josh Brolin in 2001 continued I was worried and panicked that that would be problematic and it was for lots of people. For Addison he just sees it as how things work most fluidly and most fluidly for everybody. There's an ease within that. So it's amazing
