Caplan’s costarLindsay Lohanhas been vocal about wanting to do anotherMean Girls, tellingAndy Cohenback in April 2020 that it “would be my dream to come back and film a sequel.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere in herGrazia USAprofile, the typically-private Caplan opened up about her personal life and the bonus of being in the same field as her actor husbandTom Riley.
“I like having the common ground,” theFreaks & Geeksalum shared. “I like that my husband and I can talk about anything that’s happened on set and he will know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“The trade-off is that you’re both in such an unpredictable line of work, and that of course has its ups and downs,” she admitted. “But for me it’s not even a question that getting the understanding that comes with it is worth all of the other stuff.”
Caplan and Riley, 36, got engaged in May 2016. The couple first stepped out on the red carpet together at the Prague Opera Ball in February 2016, a year after they met in January 2015 while Caplan was filming in London.

Choosing to enjoy life’s moment’s rather than document them, the wife and mother said that fans will not catch her sharing her experiences on social media.
“It’s made everything worse in the world and everybody more unhappy generally,” Caplan expressed. “I think it’s making us all much more inward — glancing and insular. I never liked it; I still kind of don’t like it, and now I just feel like a dinosaur. But there’s a part of me that thinks I’m going to be proven right or everybody just decides that they need to delete their social media. So, we’ll see.”
