As the two started talking, DeGeneres, 61, asked if Pitt remembered where they met.
“I remember aMelissa Etheridgepool party, where I think you were hitting on my girlfriend,” Pitt recalled, adding that it was in the “late ’80s, early ’90s.”
“Was I hitting on your girlfriend, really?” DeGeneres responded, laughing.
“I think so. I was flattered,” Pitt replied.
“I actually sense that I have dated another one of your girlfriends,” DeGeneres revealed, though she didn’t disclose the identity of the special someone onstage. “We’ll talk about that later.”
“After the show,” Pitt agreed.
