Rob Lowe is kissing and telling…four decades later.

The Parks & Recreation alum, 60, just revealed that he and Demi Moore, 61, had a brief fling back in the ‘80s when they were part of the legendary “Brat Pack,” a nickname given to the group of young actors who dominated the teen movie scene at the time.

During a chat with Kelly Ripa, 54, on her podcast, "Let’s Talk Off Camera," Lowe opened up about their short-lived romance while they were both rising stars in Hollywood. The two starred together in the 1985 classic St. Elmo’s Fire, a film that was a major turning point for both of their careers. Naturally, Ripa couldn't help but dig into their chemistry on set.

“Did you have a crush on her? Did you guys ever date? Did you all date each other? Was it like, just, was it a big romp?” she asked.

The 9-1-1: Lone Star actor responded jokingly, calling it a “big, big sex orgy” among the young cast before spilling the real tea.

“I mean, Demi and I briefly, I'm not telling tales out of school, we briefly had a thing,” Lowe admitted, noting that their fling happened before Moore’s high-profile engagement to fellow "Brat Pack" member Emilio Estevez.

“Look, anytime you put young 20-something men and women together, hookups are inevitable,” he added, and honestly, who could disagree with that?

Despite their romantic past, Lowe and Moore have kept their friendship strong over the years. He even attended her wedding to Bruce Willis in 1987. Moore and Willis share three children together—Rumer, 36, Scout, 33 and Tallulah, 30—though they divorced in 2000.

Recently, at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Moore updated everyone on Willis’s health while accepting the Career Achievement in Acting Award. She revealed that her ex-husband is stable following his dementia diagnosis.

“You know, I’ve said this before. The disease is what the disease is, and I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he is stable,” the Ghost actress shared.
