Chrissy Metz Can't Stop Gushing About Her Boyfriend Josh Stancil, Calls Him the 'Real Life Toby'

​

"My priority is my job and his priority is his," Metz explained. "He's been doing this for many … 15, 16 years, and he even said to me, 'Listen, if it's ever weird, I will leave. I will leave the show and go work on another show.' I'm like, 'No! Don't leave the show.' "

"But I am there as Kate. I'm there to do a job, and it's never become an issue," she continued. "The one where I sang 'Time After Time,' he texted me — it was so funny, it was when we first started chatting — and he was like, 'I'm so nervous for you, today.' I was like, 'Don't tell me that! I'm nervous. Don't tell me you're nervous for me!' "

​

Metz also dished about some of the sweet things Stancil has done for her, like putting a note inside her clutch for the Golden Globes that she opened at the show.

"It was sweet. [It said], 'You are already a winner no matter what and I love you.'"

When asked if Stancil was the "real-life Toby," Metz couldn't help but agree. "He's amazing," she said.
