Working in the same industry allowed the couple to collaborate on the 2019 series "Jett." Gutierrez directed the series, while Gugino played the lead character, Daisy "Jett" Kowalski, a world-class thief in the show.

According to Gutierrez, Gugino's role was one of the fascinating characters he created, and he hoped it would boost her acting range in the industry. Gutierrez expressed frustration that her talents were not fully utilized and claimed that she was "underused."

Marriage Isn't Important for Carla and Her Partner

Gugino and Gutierrez are among the few celebrity couples who seem content with having a steady relationship. In a 2009 Women's Health interview, Gugino shared that marriage is not important for them. She added:

"We like being boyfriend and girlfriend; there's something sexy and fun about that. We're very much about, 'There's nothing holding us here other than our desire to be together.'"

Gutierrez also prefers Gugino as his girlfriend rather than a wife. Even though she has her place in New York, Gugino spends most of her time with Gutierrez in Los Angeles. It's unclear whether Gutierrez was married, but he has two children.
