'Early in our marriage, my husband and I started leading parallel lives. We were both effective in managing our work (he was busier professionally and traveled much of the year) and home lives.

'Once we stopped jumping the initial hurdles that a couple does—baby, surrogacy, two house renovations—I realized something was missing for both of us. When there wasn't a project to invest in together, we didn't have much to say to each other.'

'So, toward the beginning of the pandemic, Andrew and I decided to separate. The combination of being apart for most of the year for many years and growing apart emotionally took its toll.'

Just days after their separation, Jordana would reconnect with her current boyfriend Mason, whom she first met a few years earlier when they were both still married to other people.

The future couple started following each other on Instagram not long after they first met, and Jordana found her heart fluttering with every interaction they had online.

Though they had only met in person once, Jordana never forgot about Mason, and just days after splitting from Andrew was traveling to San Francisco to see him.



'Four days after I separated from Andrew, I was on a plane to San Francisco to visit this man I had met only once but who had stayed on my mind. I knew he'd been separated for two years. I wanted to see him, to confirm whether the image I'd built up in my mind matched reality. What I got was far more than I expected.'

'During a time when the world avoided all contact, when it was mandated that everyone stay six feet apart, Mason and I blended into each other.'

The couple shared a five-minute long embrace and a kiss when they reunited at the airport.

The couple started seeing each other every other week, but Jordana encountered pushback from friends and therapists who were insistent they were moving too fast.

'The problem was that they didn't know it was 13 years in the making. What seemed like a huge event was in fact a slow unraveling,' Jordana insisted.

And the actress admits she has envisioned herself walking down the aisle once again with Mason - but it is a dream she can pump the brakes on.

'I still speed up sometimes. I'm already planning my second wedding in my head. But I stop myself when I get that rushed, buzzy feeling. I stop. I breathe. I write. Mason also calls me on it, which is helpful. I found it. I found him. I can slow down. And I do.'

Jordana married Andrew in 2006 before filing for divorce in 2020. The couple share sons Julian, seven, and Rowan, five.
