Selena Gomez demonstrated how relatable she is by revealing that she had a childhood crush on Cole Sprouse last year. But the “Rare” singer actually had her first kiss on-camera with Cole’s twin brother, Dylan, in an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

“I was obsessed with that show [The Suite Life of Zack & Cody] and I thought we were going to be together one day,” Selena said during a recent visit on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Gomez (who would eventually go on to appear in her own star-making Disney Channel series, Wizards of Waverly Place) played Gwen, a student who had to lock lips with one of the stars in the school play in the episode “A Midsummer’s Nightmare.”

They were also together! But just as co-stars, and not as Selena had imagined. “I guest-starred on the show, but I kissed his brother and I didn’t get to kiss Cole… It was my first kiss!” She joked, “It was one of the worst days of my life!”

Clarkson inquired, “Your first kiss was with a stranger and an actor?”

“On camera,” Gomez said, laughing.

Clarkson revealed, “You know, mine wasn’t acting, and it wasn’t on camera, and it was horrible. It was like he was searching for something with his tongue.”

And, as People points out, this isn’t the first time Sel has mentioned her on-screen kiss with Dylan—she previously told Twist Magazine everything about it, saying:

“I actually leaned in to kiss him, and I had my eyes closed a little too early and I ended up missing, like, half of his lips,“ she said. “So it ended up being the most awkward kiss in the world … I was 12, so it was okay and it was good. Thank goodness he is such an awesome guy!“

Dylan, for the record, has spoken about their on-screen kiss, telling Young Hollywood in 2018: “There’s a lot of sad, depressing first kiss stories…

“I wasn’t very successful with women for a long time, but I think my first kiss was on a set, and I think it might have been with Selena Gomez.”

Kelly also offered Selena a pep talk throughout the interview. The 27-year-old shared her passion for music while also acknowledging that she is well aware that she is not the finest vocalist. The original American Idol then said, “The best singer in the world is not the loudest, is not ‘Oh my god! You sing just like Whitney Houston!’ The best singers of the world move you.”

She continued, “That comes from all different sounds and styles. So from a singer to a singer, it’s beautiful what you do, and I love your record. I love big, huge songs, but I love singing your songs. It means something, it moves people. So, don’t ever negate your gift!”
