I Love LA Star Josh Hutcherson's Long-Term Relationship with Claudia Traisac
Josh Hutcherson, known for his role in I Love LA, has been in a devoted long-distance relationship with Spanish actress Claudia Traisac for over a decade. Despite their busy schedules, they continue to nurture their bond across continents.
A Private Yet Strong Connection
Unlike many celebrity couples, Hutcherson and Traisac avoid public displays of affection. They prefer to maintain privacy, balancing their careers while living in different countries — Hutcherson in the United States and Traisac in Spain.
Challenges of Distance
“There’s a lot of traveling, a lot of Skype. I feel like I’m with you because I’m seeing you and we’re talking, but also you’re a fucking screen. It’s very frustrating.”
The actor confessed that managing a relationship across time zones can be tough, yet they continue to find ways to make it work.
A Sweet Gesture of Love
The Hunger Games star is also a proud pet parent to two rescue dogs, Driver and Mancha. Originally, one of the dogs was named Smudge, but Hutcherson renamed it to Mancha — a Spanish equivalent — after his girlfriend had difficulty pronouncing the English word.
“My girlfriend is from Madrid, and she couldn't really say Smudge — it's a hard word to pronounce in Spanish. We looked up that Mancha is the Spanish for a smudge, and so Manchi became the cute Spanish version.”
