"I guess the word is out…Jesse, what can I say, you're the absolute best. Thank you for your kindness, your guidance and your friendship. You're the greatest onscreen husband a girl could ask for. I'll miss being on set with you every day. I can't wait to see what the world has in store for you next," Spiridakos wrote in the caption of her Instagram post that also included a look at the duo behind the scenes:
