The actress, concurrently, felt anxious about being tardy for the gathering until she noticed the photographer accompanying White.
“I was completely taken aback. I became motionless and gazed at him,” she recounted to the publication in 2024. “He uttered all the appropriate sentiments. … Ultimately, we recognized — apart from the caviar [Shaun had prepared] — we hadn’t consumed any food. Consequently, we ordered Shake Shack and dumplings [from] the Golden Swan.”
