Alexandra Daddario shared some rare insight into her whirlwind romance with producer Andrew Form, who she married earlier this summer during a romantic ceremony at the iconic Preservation Hall in New Orleans.

While gracing the cover of Women's Health in a sexy white sports bra and black quilted shorts, the 36-year-old White Lotus star opened up about having to juggle wedding planning while synonymously shooting her upcoming TV series Mayfair Witches.

'When I met Andrew, we just both knew,' she revealed. 'The wedding was wonderful; it felt a bit like an inevitable conclusion. So I feel really at peace.' 

Looking good! Alexandra Daddario shared some rare insight into her whirlwind romance with producer Andrew Form, who she married during a romantic ceremony at the iconic Preservation Hall in New Orleans earlier this summer

As for the Baywatch star's vision for her big day in June, she explained her desire for their ceremony to 'feel like a good, easy time without the pressure of convention.' 

Following their walk down the aisle, the lovebirds managed to squeeze in a 'mini honeymoon' that entailed going on a road trip through Mississippi and Alabama, before concluding with the beaches of Florida's panhandle.

Since getting hitched, less than a year after getting engaged, Daddario joked that their 'version of a night out at the club' is getting 'a little wild, open a bottle of wine, and fighting over chess.'

'When I met Andrew, we just both knew,' she revealed. 'The wedding was wonderful; it felt a bit like an inevitable conclusion. So I feel really at peace'

'I'm a total monster,' the New York native admitted when it comes to playing board games. 'I got so good that the next time we played [chess], Andrew was like, 'What's going on here?' I was like, 'I don't know.…'

When asked about managing her grueling schedule, the Emmy nominee credits hot yoga and acupuncture for keeping her mind and body strong. 

'If I do them back-to-back, it's almost like a computer rebooting,' she explained.

Her love of acupuncture came after the Chinese medicine practice successfully treated a frozen shoulder that she suffered at 23. 

'I'm obsessed,' she says. 'I've had the needles everywhere—all over my body.' 

The actress says she even had an acupuncturist needle her perineum and above her gumline.

'I will tell you,' she raved. 'I felt like a million bucks the next day.' 

As for how she stays in such incredible shape, Daddario credits workouts with trainer Patrick Murphy, swimming, hiking and healthy meals. 

'I've found that my body heals faster and responds better if I'm in tune with myself and can be in nature,' she reflected.

During the interview, the True Detective actress also reflected on struggling in school and turning to children's theater as an escape.

After landing a number roles in commercials, she recalled finally landing a part on on the soap opera All My Children at age 16.

'I wasn't a very good actress,' Alexandra said of her acting as a teen. 'I could memorize my lines, but finding my camera, finding my light, even learning how to walk naturally—it took a lot of practice. I knew something was wrong, but I knew I could fix it. I knew that I loved what I did and that I could be better.'

After getting fired after only a year on the show, she began taking a course on the Meisner technique to improve her skills. 

In 2010, she landed her breakout role as Annabeth in the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief , before going on to star on HBO's True Detective, the Baywatch movie and more.

A 'couple years prior to the pandemic,' she felt that she needed to find work that was creatively fulfilling.

This is when she got the call from The White Lotus creator to 'get on a plane and go to Hawaii' to film the series. 

'But here's the catch: You can't leave the Four Seasons,' she recalls White telling her. 

Ultimately, her role as newlywed Rachel landed her an Emmy nomination. 

'I've found that my body heals faster and responds better if I'm in tune with myself and can be in nature,' she reflected

'I never expect these things to happen,' she says of the show's success. 'They constantly surprise me. I just do what I love.' 

For her Women's Health photo shoot, Daddario wore various midriff-baring ensembles, including a red Hervé Léger top and matching bike shorts. 

Other looks included an Adidas By Stella McCartney parka over a red jumpsuit with white stripes across her trim waist.
