“Um, yes, I did,” Parker said. “Yes, I did.”

“Oh, wow. We got some talking to do,” Cohen quipped.

It remains unclear when or how long they dated, but there’s been speculation the rumour was true for decades – yet neither confirmed or denied the claims.

The rumours first swirled when they filmed the romantic comedy, but it was seemingly short-lived as Parker found love with Broderick the following year.
