“It’s so hard, especially for a lot of us,” she said. “A lot of us don’t actually live in LA anymore. Now I live full time in Michigan, so it’s hard to keep in touch.” Despite the challenges, DeVitto said there is one Rosewood resident she keeps in regular contact with. “I would say that outside Sweet little liars “I’m mostly in touch with Ian Harding,” she said. “We keep in touch all the time, and honestly, it’s been months since I’ve spoken to him, which is so tragic.
