You never forget your first.

Sara Gilbert took a walk down memory lane when she recalled an important first kiss during an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

And it just happened to be with Barrymore herself.

“My first girl kiss was with Drew,” the “Roseanne” and “The Conners” star, 46, said on the show on Wednesday, per Us Weekly. “And I’m not one to kiss and tell, but I have to say — now I’m gonna, like, blush — Drew was the coolest person that I ever met.”

Barrymore explained that the smooch occurred when the two were practicing for a kiss that was supposed to be featured in their 1992 film, “Poison Ivy.”

“We started practicing in the trailer, which was kind of fun,” the “Never Been Kissed” star, 46, told the audience.

“We had to practice, right? It was really just us doing research,” Gilbert added.

Barrymore recalled some other funny details from the production of the movie.

“We had so much fun,” she said. “I feel like it was in the parking lot in Los Feliz, right? We, like, had that little base camp. I drove that Jeep, and I used to go get, like, ice cream on lunch breaks, and I was constantly getting into accidents. I think I got my license taken away on that movie.”

Gilbert previously dated “Roseanne” costar and “The Big Bang Theory” star Johnny Galecki in real life before coming out as a lesbian.

Since then, she was in a relationship with Ali Adler between 2001 and 2011, with whom she shares 16-year-old son, Levi, and 13-year-old daughter, Sawyer.

She also married singer-songwriter Linda Perry in 2014. The two separated in 2019. They share 6-year-old son, Rhodes.

Barrymore identifies as bisexual. In the early 90s, she was engaged to actors Leland Hayward III and Jamie Walters, and married actor Jeremy Thomas in 1994 before they split two months later.

Barrymore also married funny man Tom Green in 2001 before they split the next year.

Most recently, she married art adviser Will Kopelman in 2012. The couple split in 2016. They share daughters Olive, 8, and Frankie, 6.
