Busy Philipps was all smiles when she left her hotel in New York City on Wednesday, despite what could have easily have been an awkward encounter with her ex just a day earlier.

Dressed in ripped blue jeans, white sneakers, and a white turtleneck sweater, the Cougar Town actress appeared to be having an animated phone conversation as she left The Bowery Hotel.

Clad in a red beanie and mirrored sunglasses, Busy had appeared on Live! With Kelly as a guest co-host the previous day, where she came face-to-face with her ex-boyfriend, Colin Hanks.

But there appeared to be no animosity between the exes, despite dating for three years during their late teens and early twenties.

'We are very, very close friends now. His wife [Samantha Bryant] and I are very tight. He and my husband [Marc Silverstein] hang out,' said the 37-year-old actress. 'But we dated for a long time, actually. He's really excited that I am here co-hosting.'

Later in the show, Colin joked about having to sit opposite his ex on live TV.

Well, this is awkward... Busy came face-to-face with her college boyfriend, Colin Hanks, while co-hosting Live! With Kelly alongside Kelly Ripa

'It’s not awkward going on national television and being interviewed by your old college girlfriend,' the 39-year-old said.

The pair first met while studying at Loyola Marymount University in LA, and claim their relationship ended because they were both 'jerks'.

But all that seems to be behind them now, with their shared experiences in show business cementing their long friendship.

Now and then: The actress shared this split-screen throwback photo with one taken backstage at Live! With Kelly, describing her interview with him as 'weird'

'We got our first television show the same week. We got our first movies within the same week. We were able to go through these really special moments in young actors' lives together,' Colin revealed. 'Now we also get to do morning school drop-off together! Our kids are in the same school.'
