After a report began circulating that the 51-year-old and comedian Matt Rife—her ex from 2017—locked lips at Netflix’s Golden Globes after-party on Jan. 5, Kate was quick to set the record straight.
“It is incorrect that they were kissing,” her rep told People. “They are friendly exes who were having a fun time speaking.”
Kate briefly dated the 29-year-old back in 2017, when they were 43 and 21-years-old, respectively, having met through mutual friends and broke up after about a year.
At the time, Matt acknowledged their 22-year age difference, writing—and then deleting—on Instagram, “Age is just a number. Find someone you love, and take their breath away…even if that means putting a kink in their oxygen tank cord. #LifeAlertTypeOfLove.”
Following their split, and after Kate moved on to SNL’s Pete Davidson, Matt issued a scathing response to the new relationship, telling his fellow comedian to “be careful.”
