A friendship became a very precious relationship.”
The two text one another first thing in the morning. About the messages, the ‘Shang-chi’ actress said, “She wakes up very early and I’m an early bird as well, so we end up texting each other.

The actress continued, “She’s always sending me something and texting ‘Did you get it, bae?’ She’s always sharing. And yet at the same time, she’s friggin’ Hollywood royalty — but she is nurturing.”
