The former ’90s stars reveal they had a short-lived romance that managed to evade headlines.
“All my books said ‘I heart Will’ when I was, like, 14.”
The courtship began at Hart’s arcade birthday party.

That was us there.
We went out for that, and we were making googly eyes at each other.

Friedle said it was a “whirlwind romance,” and couldn’t remember if the two ever kissed.
“Did we even kiss?”
he asked Hart, now also 47, who replied, “I don’t know, maybe.”
Clearly, the romance was “memorable,” she joked.
She said, “At first I was like, ‘Who’s Will?’
And then, something came to me where I was like, ‘Oh my God!
I know who that is!'”
The news first reached her at the premiere of her 1999 movieDrive Me Crazy.
“I’m like, ‘Yes, I did.’
