Colin Hanks Insists It's 'Not Awkward' When Ex-Girlfriend Busy Philipps Interviews Him on 'Live! With Kelly'

Busy Philipps not only had to greet her college ex-boyfriend, Colin Hanks, she also had to interview him!

The 37-year-old actress was a guest co-host on Live! With Kelly on Tuesday morning, and was more than willing to chat about dating Hanks when they were both students at Loyola Marymount University. She even shared a few photos.

"We met when I was 18 and Colin was 19," Philipps recalled. "We are very, very close friends now. His wife [Samantha Bryant] and I are tight, he and my husband [Marc Silverstein] hang out. We go on vacation together. He’s real excited that I’m here."

“We met 20 years ago!” Philipps added. “And we hang out a lot. And I do have moments where I think, ‘How cool that we knew each other at this formative moment together?’ ”

As for who was responsible for ultimately ending the relationship, the Freaks and Geeks actress admitted, "We were young. We were babies. Honestly, I was a jerk.”
