Walter Boys star Nikki Rodriguez reacts on the ‘pinch me' experience at Golden Globes with costar Noah LaLonde

Nikki Rodriguez's life has been a “whirlwind” since the release of popular show, My Life with the Walter Boys — but “in the best way," she says. At the recent red carpet event she opened up about her ‘pinch me’ or rather a fab moment with Noah Lalonde.
She said, “We thought [the show] was something special when we were shooting it, so I'm happy that it's been received in the way that it has,” Rodriguez, 21, tells PEOPLE while at NYLON Nights: Fashion Edition, a New York Fashion Week event in collaboration with Kate Spade.“It's just been the best, craziest, most exciting time of my life.”
Much of that excitement has come from the various starry events she’s been attending for the first time — NYFW being one of them. In January, the star and her costar Noah LaLonde attended the 2024 Golden Globes together, an experience she calls “insane.” “I constantly find myself in a room where it's a pinch me moment and I'm like, ‘How did I get here?’ ” she says of star-studded evenings like the Globes, which she and LaLonde followed up with another red carpet appearance together at Sunday's 2024 People's Choice Awards.
While she’s still getting used to the goamour of red carpets, spending time around her costars in real life has become something of a routine for her. Reacting to the same, she mentioned,“We hang out all the time,” she says of the Walter Boys clan, which includes seven other boys, hence the title of the series and the book by Ali Novak on which it was based. Rodriguez shares that she's with LaLonde — who plays her love interest Cole Walter — and Ashby Gentry — who completes her character Jackie’s love triangle as younger brother Alex Walter — the most. “They're both so amazing and wonderful people, and I just love them dearly," she says. "I love them both.”
