Ashley Park feels "lucky" to have Paul Forman by her side as she navigates fame

She told Access Hollywood: "It's so wild. How lucky am I that he's here with me and he can just be a rock for me when things are chaotic? Sometimes, joyful experiences are really overwhelming so it's so nice to have my friendship with Lily [Collins], my relationship with Paul and going to all these things with someone that you really care about makes it feel like a joyful day.

"If you both have to be the rocks all the time, then it'll be okay when you're both being shiny little stars too."

The Broadway star - who battled leukaemia when she was 15 - was hospitalised with critical septic shock in January and made a "fluke" recovery but admitted that her ordeal "definitely cemented" her relationship with Paul and knew then that he was the "right one" for her.

She said: "It's been two years now since we've been together, we were a bit private about it at first but [my health scare] definitely cemented things. When you meet a person that you think is the right one and you know is the right one, I feel very settled."

Ashley was enjoying a vacation with Paul when she fell ill and recently admitted that she probably "wouldn't have made it" had he not been there to support her.

She told America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "When I went to the ER and ICU for the first time, I was in the Maldives with Paul. I don't think I would've made it without him. Everybody else was on the other side of the world from us."
