“We started this journey as best friends and our relationship will continue to be a priority not only for us but for our dog Charlie,” she added. “We sincerely appreciate your support and ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter.”
Last month, Snow revealed that one of herPitch Perfectcostars“nursed me back to health”during a “tricky” time as she discussed her mental health support and awareness book,September Letters: Finding Strength and Connection in Sharing Our Stories— which she co-authored with Jaspre Guest.

“In the past year I went through probably the hardest mental health challenge I’ve ever faced. In one day, in a matter of hours, my life turned completely upside down,” she said. “I was blindsided and everything I thought I knew, held sacred and truly trusted in my life was completely different.”
“A couple days later my grandmother passed away and I think every thing I knew about mental health was tested,” added Snow. “Thank God for my friends. I don’t know if I would have made it without them. They reminded me who I was and the things I stood for.”
Though she didn’t name herPitch Perfectcostar, Snow said the individual was instrumental in helping her through the difficult time.
“The last year has been really tricky for me, and one of the girls, I just, you know, opened up her door and I just fell down to the ground and just cried and laid there,” Snow said. “And she basically nursed me back to health for like four days. And it wasn’t the one that I thought was going to be able to do that, either.”
She added that her costars from the musical franchise, “really did get to become close friends, if not family.”
