"Even though it was hard for him to talk to her and they had an awkward relationship, I think by the end they were brother and sister and had such a love for each other. I think they became more like best friends, and that’s what Jason’s and mine relationship is." - Kirsten Dunst, comparing her relationship with Jason Schwartzman to that of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI
Kirsten has used a possessive personal pronoun in place of a possessive adjective.
In the noun phrase "Jason’s and mine relationship," the possessive pronoun "mine" is used to modify the noun "relationship." This is incorrect because only an adjective can modify a noun. To correct the error, replace the possessive pronoun with a possessive adjective.
"I think they became more like best friends, and that’s what Jason’s and my relationship is."
