5 Nov
Summary
- Couple met in 2013 on set of "Escobar: Paradise Lost"
- Manage busy acting schedules with "hot and cold" periods of time together
- Hutcherson says communication is key to overcoming relationship challenges

As of November 5th, 2025, Josh Hutcherson, the 33-year-old actor known for his role in "I Love LA," has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Claudia Traisac, for over 12 years. The couple first met on the set of the 2013 film "Escobar: Paradise Lost," and have been dating ever since.
Despite their successful acting careers, Hutcherson and Traisac, 32, have managed to keep their private life largely out of the spotlight. However, Hutcherson is now opening up about the challenges they face in maintaining their relationship due to their hectic schedules.
"In my life and relationship, because we're both actors, it's very hot and cold as far as how much time we get together," Hutcherson explains. "It's a hard thing to find balance in." The unpredictability of their schedules can be both exciting and exhausting, as the couple may go weeks without seeing each other, followed by periods of more consistent time together.
Despite these challenges, Hutcherson believes that the very nature of their unpredictable schedules is part of what makes their relationship work. "That's part of the reason why it works," he says. "We don't know if we're going to get two weeks [together], then not see each other for months. So it's this very exciting thing."
Hutcherson also acknowledges that communication is key to overcoming the strains of their relationship. "You can go through that stuff and be strong together, but I think you have to communicate," he says, drawing a comparison to the on-screen relationship he explores in "I Love LA," where the characters struggle with communication issues.
As Hutcherson and Traisac continue to navigate the ups and downs of their 12-year romance, their story serves as a testament to the power of dedication, understanding, and open communication in maintaining a successful relationship, even in the face of the demanding schedules that come with being working actors in Hollywood.
