He’s also spoken about it on his podcast.
“It was sort of like on-again, off-again with Maureen and I throughout the years,” he said. “There was always a little dance being played that was broken up by hiatus.”
Despite his feelings, he wanted to be professional on set.
“When she was pretending to have [to] be affectionate with other guys and going out on dates and stuff, I liked to just stay out of the way and let her do her job and focus on and concentrate until, you know, until an episode that called for us to be sitting next to one another,” he explained.
He also admitted that he made a point of staying on set when she had to film a romantic scene with someone else.
“At all times,” he said. “Always … Just to have a presence.”
