Inside Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb’s Relationship

The secret to Sam and Leslie’s lasting relationship has been revealed.

“Sam and Leslie have an interesting, extremely sex-positive relationship even by Hollywood standards, and it’s managed to work for going on two decades, even without the benefit of kids or even a marriage license,” an insider told Closer in June 2024.

“When you’re around them, the physical attraction they have with one another is undeniable and they have the energy of a couple in their early 20s, not showbiz veterans twice that age,” the source added. “They just have this very intense, white-hot vibe and rock-solid connection that makes them one of the hottest couples out there, especially by Hollywood’s standards.”

Does Sam Rockwell Have Kids?

Sam and Leslie do not have any children. However, it seems like expanding their family is not entirely off the table.

“They haven’t openly ruled out the idea of a family together, but they’ve certainly put it off for a long time just because they enjoy each other and their jobs so much,” the insider said. “And Leslie has positioned herself for another re-invention by getting into the third season of The White Lotus, because that was a role literally every available actress in her age range was going after. Things are really looking up for her!”
