At the time of the acknowledgement of their romance, Monica shared with Elle France, “What can I say…I’m glad I met the man, first of all. It’s one of those encounters that rarely happens in life…I know the man, I love him, and now I’m going to meet the director, another adventure begins. I love Tim. And I have great respect for Tim Burton.”
It’s been reported that their bond was built on deep mutual admiration, but busy schedules and personal obligations led to growing space between the two.
