The couple prefers to keep their relationship private rather than showcasing it publicly. Hutcherson once shared how challenging the distance can be, especially relying on technology for connection.
“There’s a lot of traveling, a lot of Skype. I feel like I’m with you because I’m seeing you and we’re talking, but also you’re a fucking screen. It’s very frustrating.”
Josh is also a devoted dog dad to two rescue pets, one of which had its name adapted for Claudia's ease of pronunciation. Originally named Smudge, the dog was renamed Manchi, inspired by the Spanish word
“My girlfriend is from Madrid, and she couldn't really say Smudge — it's a hard word to pronounce in Spanish. We looked up that Mancha is the Spanish for a smudge, and so Manchi became the cute Spanish version.”
They continue to nurture their bond despite geographical challenges, demonstrating patience and creativity.
Summary: Josh Hutcherson and Claudia Traisac maintain a strong, private long-distance relationship, adapting to the challenges with love and thoughtful gestures.
