Eden McCoy, known for her role as Josslyn Jacks in General Hospital, and her real-life boyfriend, Jonathan Heit, were guests on the First Round’s On Me podcast, hosted by Joe Feminella and his wife Hannah Glasby.
What began as separate journeys on the platform has now blossomed into a beautiful relationship. McCoy and Heit delved into their transition from friendship to love, shared their valuable insights on nurturing a relationship amidst hectic schedules and public attention, and put their connection to the test with some fun challenges to see how well they know each other.
Heit and McCoy have been dating for at least 5 months. In opening up about how they met, Eden said, “I met him — I don’t know two and a half years ago.
I had been in Spain and I got back and my best girlfriends in LA had met a few guys and became super fast friends with them, and Jonathan was one of them. I met him at one of my best friend Lilia’s houses in the pool. We were having a pool day and he was there.”

For Jonathan, however, he said, “I do remember very clearly, at least from my end her laying on a pool floating and me swimming up and putting my hands on the pool floating and just like, ‘Who is this new person that just came into the party?’
And yeah, I mean it wasn’t even like — our friendship kind of grew slowly because she was back and forth and working, and I was working.
I think when we talk about friends turning into a relationship or even friends staying friends — it’s all about timing.
And when we think back and we talk about it now, it’s like, there’s a reason that it’s happening now, and our friendship built a core relationship that our actual relationship could flourish off of.”
Jonathan Heit is not just an actor in movies like “Bedtime Stories,” “Valentine’s Day,” and “Date Night,” but also the owner of Heit Gallery. Eden McCoy is an Emmy award-winning actress famous for playing Josslyn Jacks on “General Hospital.”
