“You two have crazy good chemistry,” Kelly Ripa remarked. “Of all the stuff I did in the ’80s, if I had to pick one, it would for sure be 'About Last Night',” Rob Lowe said. The pair, both prominent members of the iconic Brat Pack, also starred together in 'St Elmo’s Fire'.

While discussing the film, Ripa, 54, brought up Moore, 61, once more. “Did you have a crush on her?” she inquired. "Did you guys ever date? Did you all date each other? Was it like, just was it a big romp?”

When Ripa pressed him on the nature of their relationship, Lowe humorously remarked, “I mean, Demi and I briefly — I'm not telling tales out of school — we briefly had a thing.”

Lowe went on to clarify that this happened prior to Moore’s engagement to fellow 'Brat Pack' member Emilio Estevez, who she ended up breaking up with in 1986.

During the podcast, Lowe reflected on the camaraderie and connections among the young actors at that time, jokingly referring to it as a “big, big sex o**y.”
