Josh Hutcherson, the 33-year-old actor known for his roles in blockbuster hits, has been keeping a low profile when it comes to his personal life. For over a decade, he has been in a relationship with Spanish actress Claudia Traisac, whom he met on the set of Escobar: Paradise Lost in 2013. Despite their long-lasting partnership, the couple has maintained a level of privacy, rarely sharing details about their romance with the public.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Hutcherson finally opened up about the dynamics that have kept his relationship with Traisac, 32, exciting and enduring. Being actors, Hutcherson acknowledges the challenges of balancing their busy schedules, leading to periods of both closeness and distance. He describes their life together as “hot and cold,” with the unpredictability of their time spent together adding an element of thrill to their relationship.
The actor emphasises the importance of finding a balance with Traisac, noting that their constantly changing schedules have actually contributed to the longevity of their relationship. Despite the challenges they face with conflicting commitments, Hutcherson sees the uncertainty as a source of excitement that keeps their connection fresh and invigorating. Not knowing when they will see each other next adds a sense of anticipation to their time together.
Managing conflicts in relationships is another aspect that Hutcherson touches upon in the interview. Drawing parallels between his real-life relationship and the on-screen romance with Rachel Sennott in the new HBO comedy series, I Love LA, he emphasises the significance of communication. Hutcherson admits to being someone who tends to overcommunicate and believes that open and honest communication is key to navigating challenges and staying strong together.
Although Hutcherson has garnered attention over the years as an “Internet Boyfriend,” he remains detached from the online world and the labels associated with it. Despite not actively engaging with online discourse, he appreciates the support he receives from fans and acknowledges that it has played a role in his career. The actor is currently starring in the HBO series, I Love LA, where he explores different aspects of relationships and communication.
As Hutcherson continues to navigate the intricacies of his personal and professional life, he remains grateful for the opportunities that have come his way. With a decade-long relationship standing the test of time, the actor’s insights into maintaining a sense of excitement and balance with his partner offer a glimpse into the realities of long-term commitment in the midst of busy and unpredictable careers. Through open communication and a willingness to embrace the unknown, Hutcherson and Traisac continue to make their relationship work against all odds.
