Hollywood sparks some surprising couples<\/a>, especially in the 90s, but love doesn’t always last, as Blink-182<\/a> legend Mark Hoppus<\/a> confessed.<\/p>\n

The bassist, who was diagnosed with cancer three years ago<\/a>, revealed he once went on a ‘tough’ date with Sabrina the Teenage Witch icon Melissa Joan Hart.<\/a><\/p>\n

The unlikely pair met at the Teen Choice Awards, according to Mark, 53, in his new book Fahrenheit-182.<\/p>\n

Blink-182 formed in 1992 while Melissa, 48, was a child actress who had been working since the late 80s before landing her first starring role in 1991.<\/a><\/p>\n

‘She must’ve found me interesting because she had her publicist reach out to my label’s publicist to give me her number,’ the All The Small Things hitmaker shared.<\/p>\n

He sets the tone of their brief romance <\/a>by adding: ‘Totally normal courtship.’<\/p>\n

In an excerpt shared by Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, he continued: ‘When we got on the phone<\/a>, I played it cool. “Oh, awesome, yeah, I’ll be in L.A. shooting my new music video, so we should have dinner after I wrap.” <\/p>\n

‘I thought I was so slick using this Hollywood industry jargon, but I doubt it impressed her. I was newly famous, but she had been famous for years.’<\/p>\n

Mark’s approach clearly worked magic as the pair went on a sushi date to a restaurant in ‘the Valley’, California.<\/p>\n

However, sparks did not fly for this Hollywood A-List couple with the What’s My Age Again? singer branding the date ‘awful’.<\/p>\n

‘She was very nice, but we weren’t connecting,’ he explained. ‘Everything in her life revolved around acting, and it was hard to relate to her about anything else.’<\/p>\n

According to the rocker, Melissa told him she usually just eats whatever catering provides on set, rather than sharing her favourite foods.<\/p>\n

When asked what she enjoys reading, the TV star reportedly told him she is ‘usually reading scripts for work’.<\/p>\n

‘I’m sure from her perspective, all I could talk about was music,’ Mark added. ‘We just weren’t a great match. It was tough.’<\/p>\n

Even though the pair weren’t exactly compatible, Melissa showed him around her home after the date, which had a view of the city and a hot tub.<\/p>\n

‘I thought she might be hinting that we should get in the tub,’ Mark claimed. ‘I told her I had an early set time and that I should probably get going. She dropped me back at my hotel.’<\/p>\n

Turns out that around the same time, Mark was in the early days of getting to know his now wife Skye Everly.<\/p>\n

When he got back to his room, there was a voicemail from Skye waiting, so the rockstar called her back and ‘talked about everything’.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘We talked about where we grew up and what our families were like. We talked about our careers. We talked about our favorite albums.<\/p>\n

‘We talked for so long that the sun came up and we realised we’d talked all night.’<\/p>\n

The former MTV talent executive initially refused to go on a date with Mark after bandmate Tom DeLonge<\/a> had tried to set them up at a rehearsal for All The Small Things music video.<\/p>\n

The pair then wed in 2000 and welcomed their son Jack two years later on August 5.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Melissa married another musician named Mark – Mark Wilkerson – in 2003 after meeting at the Kentucky Derby the year before.<\/p>\n

They share three sons, Mason, Braydon, and Tucker, and live together in Nashville as of 2020.<\/p>\n
