'He wanted to wait until marriage… so we really only went out for one dinner,' she revealed, adding: 'Nothing against him!

'I just remember being at dinner and he was like "so I should tell you this" and it was a moment of "...oh."

She added: 'I just…don’t think that’s the way my life’s gonna go, but he was great.'

The mom-of-two also revealed that when she brought her towering date to a Christmas party, and introduced him to her mom Goldie Hawn, she burst out laughing.
