AceShowbiz - In a recent appearance on the Goop podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow, comedian Nikki Glaser divulged some intriguing details about her experiences on the dating app Raya. The popular platform, known for attracting celebrities, has evidently featured several big names over the years.
During the conversation, Glaser, 40, confessed to Paltrow, 52, about the time she came across Paltrow's ex-boyfriend, Ben Affleck, on the app.
"Oh, I definitely - when I used to be on Raya and he would come across, very concentrated check mark. Yes," Glaser shared, hinting at her interest in the Oscar winner and adding, "And never getting it back."
Paltrow and Affleck dated on-and-off between 1997 and 2000, making this revelation particularly nostalgic.
But Affleck wasn't the only celebrity Glaser spotted on Raya. She also recalled seeing "Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield's profile multiple times. "I think Andrew Garfield's face came up for me so many times. Multiple times," Glaser said, to which Paltrow responded affirmatively, noting Garfield's charm.
The discussion took an interesting turn when Glaser shared how the app's algorithm seemed persistent in showing her certain profiles. "So every time I'm like, 'Yes, Andrew Garfield, like, duh.' This is years and years ago."
"I don't want to put anything out there, but, like, yes. Yes. Yes. And I know for a fact he had to have seen my profile and gone, 'Nope,' because sometimes they send people that you keep saying no to?" Glaser mused.
During the sit-down, Glaser and Paltrow also discussed Glaser's recent stint as the host of the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. At the event, she made a memorable joke about Affleck, humorously suggesting that he shouts movie titles like "Wicked", "Queer", and "Nightbitch" in the bed.
It's worth noting that Affleck recently finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez following their two-year marriage. Meanwhile, Garfield appears to be off the market, as he was seen on dates with Monica Barbaro.
Whether it's reminiscing about her online dating adventures or spicing up award shows with humor, Nikki Glaser certainly knows how to keep audiences entertained. Her candidness about the celebrity dating scene provides a fascinating peek into the private lives of Hollywood's elite.
