“You just go through things,” she added. “You’re in charge. It’s a lot like checking the boxes, isn’t it?”

Elsewhere in the conversation, the “Dark Angel” alum admitted that she often took their partnership for granted.

“Obviously we have the friendship, the comfort of ‘you’re not going anywhere,’ and then sometimes you don’t treat those people the best, do you?” Alba said.

“You don’t consider their feelings the way you would other people’s feelings,” she continued. “So it’s something that I think is constantly being worked on.”

She shared that the duo tried to work through their issues by “confronting issues” and “being able to communicate when (they’re) unhappy.”
