On her laid-back, intimate wedding to Hollywood producer Andrew Form (a mere 48 hours after posing for this Women’s Health cover): “I wanted it to feel like a good, easy time without the pressure of convention.”

On becoming ardent about playing chess with husband Andrew Form, and her must-win mentality: “It’s our version of a night out at the club.

I got so good that the next time we played, Andrew was like, ‘What’s going on here?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know.…’”
