I found Audra’s comment about intimacy directors preventing “showmances” and saving relationships interesting. Not to speak out of turn, but isn’t her current marriage the product of a showmance?

I don't think she was criticizing or judging anyone (including herself). As an actor, I can say that I have watched a lot of people go down that path. You are required to be intimate and your body and mind dive in. All of a sudden, relationships and marriages are in trouble. In fact, I believe that there was a dalliance between two of the previous Frankie & Johnnie stars. Acknowledging that these issues should e professionally addressed, rather than leaving it to the actor to find the place where they can make it work...well, I think it is long overdue and I hope that film, TV and stage directors avail themselves of this service going forward.
