Josh Swickard and Lauren Swickard are no strangers to each other on-screen. The pair, who has been married since 2019, have worked together on a number of acting projects in recent years. The first time was in 2018, when they played love interests Colton and Tracy in the Netflix film “Roped.” Speaking to Metro in 2020, Lauren revealed that Josh almost didn’t get cast as his leading man in the project as he wasn’t actually the first choice for the role. “The other person didn’t know how to ride horses so they ended [up] taking Josh, and I’m so thankful about that,” she said. While they quickly developed feelings for one another, it wasn’t until filming wrapped that the two started going out, according to Josh. “I think we both just felt it is smarter to keep work as work,” he said. “But obviously we felt that connection so afterwards we started to hang out.”

Since then, the two have shared the screen in Netflix’s “A California Christmas” and “A California Christmas: City Lights” which Lauren also wrote and produced. Chatting with BEONDTV’s Lisa Remillard, Josh and Lauren opened up about the challenges of working together as a married couple. “I think the only thing that makes it harder would be we’re super honest with each other,” Lauren said. “But it actually just makes us work harder, because of that transparency in our work.” Josh agreed, saying that they always help each other out on-set. Fortunately, both he and his wife know to set aside their ego whenever they work together, he added.
