"A bunch of people who were dyslexic were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic," she told The Daily Mail in 2018. "We didn't go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there." While the former couple are still friends, she noted, "Though I don't get what he does, that whole Scientology thing. I can't understand it so I just... don't."
