While speaking with the rom-com's lead, Aubrey Plaza, on the June 13 episode of her Broad Ideas podcast, Rachel, 40, confirmed that she and Bill, 44, dated "two years ago."

As a testament to how tight-lipped the former couple had been about the romance, the news was a revelation for Aubrey.

"Are you serious?" the Parks and Recreation star asked. "I don't know s--t. I don't know anything."

Indeed, the pair stepped out together on the 2020 Golden Globes red carpet, just weeks after they were spotted on a coffee date in Bill's hometown of Tulsa, Okla.

However, things didn't work out and the two called it quits by July 2020, with a source telling E! News at the time that Rachel was "absolutely devastated."

The Hart of Dixie actress didn't share more about the relationship to Aubrey,

but she did touch on a particularly difficult split during a previous episode of her podcast.

Without naming her ex, Rachel admitted to guest Mandy Moore that she "went through a really hard breakup and it was during the pandemic."
