Dax Shepard has revealed that he once dated Ashley Olsen. During a recent episode of his podcast "Armchair Expert," he told co-host Monica Padman about the time he was romantically involved with the Olsen twin.

"I dated Ashley Olsen and she's just the most wonderful person. She's fantastic," the 47-year-old actor said, according to People. The podcast host then said that he knew there were people who thought they were "a pretty weird pairing" but he said Olsen is actually "just super funny and sarcastic and intelligent."

The "Bless This Mess" actor first met Olsen at a party, and he recalled how he was "kind of thunderstruck with the beauty." Thankfully, he had never watched Olsen's hit tv show "Full House" before he met her, because otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to start a relationship with Olsen, 35, if he had seen her on television as a child, he said.

"I luckily never saw that show," he shared. "Because I probably wouldn't have been able to be attracted to Ashley if I knew her as a baby."

During the podcast, Padman, 34, spoke about how much she liked Olsen's clothing line "The Row," which she started with her sister Mary-Kate Olsen. Shepard revealed that when he was dating Olsen, she was prepping to launch the line in a big way.

"When we were dating, it was when she was putting all her energy and focus into launching that in a big way," Shepard shared. "So, I was able to see her meet with design teams and, like, run her s--- and she handled her B, and it's very impressive." He went on to add that the Olsen sisters are "f---ing major bosses."

Shepard then revealed that he bonded with Olsen over their shared love of cars. Olsen reportedly owned a black Cadillac DeVille DTS when they were dating. "I wouldn't mind reconnecting with her to find out if she has that DTS," he said.

Shepard has been married to Kirsten Bell since 2013 and they share daughters, Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 7. Olsen, meanwhile, has been linked to her boyfriend Louis Eisner since October 2017.
