Speaking with host Amy Poehler, Gwyneth revealed that she developed a bond with the late Robin Williams during her time with Ben.
Although Gwyneth and Robin both appeared in the 1991 classic Hook, the actress — who played a teenaged version of Peter Pan‘s iconic Wendy Darling — told Amy that they never worked together on set.
They did spend time together when Ben and Robin were promoting their 1997 Oscar-winner Good Will Hunting.
“I only got to know [Robin] a bit when Good Will Hunting came out because I was dating one of the people who wrote that movie and was in that movie,” Gwyneth said, opting out of naming Ben.
Amy replied, jokingly informing the actress that people were “well aware” of her relationship with the famed actor.
As the conversation continued, she confirmed that they started dating “after” the movie was filmed but while it was still being promoted.
Gwyneth has made other references to Ben over the years, including explaining how she knew not to marry him. She also revealed which of her famous exes was better in bed — Ben or Brad Pitt.
