“Let me tell you about people who text me about Travis. They all started saying, ‘We’re watching. Is he the murderer?’ Just to get you – just to get you to text them. And then they ask, “What do you know about his relationship?”

“Exactly. You know how to do it,” Jason, 36, said.

“You’re not going to get anything out of me,” Nash continued. “I mean, you’re all just curious. Don’t ask me anything.”

“Oh my God. This is great,” Jason said, before Travis thanked his co-star for her loyalty – and for keeping things a secret about his relationship.

“I always appreciate you. And every time someone with a microphone in front of you asks you something like that,” Travis said. “Thank you for always showing love. You know it’s real and you know me and Tay are absolutely happy. And I appreciate that you always make sure everyone knows that. So thank you.”

“Honey, I’ll mind my black business. Do you understand me? “I’m staying here and I’m more worried about myself and what I’m going to do,” Nash said before Travis told her, “You’re the best.”

Although Nash remained tight-lipped about Travis’ relationship with the pop star, she was vocal in her praise for his performance on the FX thriller series, which marks his scripted television debut.

She told PEOPLE he was “so approachable” and “very open” on set.

“He was very open about whether a note or a suggestion was made. He was very approachable. ‘Tell me what I don’t know. Tell me what you think.’ I love that he didn’t try to say, ‘I know everything and I know everything.'”

She also revealed that he couldn’t necessarily go unnoticed on set given his skills on the football field.

“It was funny because I saw people’s reaction to him before I could really understand him. All the guys – those big guys on set, the brains, transpo – everyone was just fangirling the whole time. And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, guys!'”
