Dave Coulier is reflecting on one of the most talked-about relationships from his past. The actor and comedian, best known for playing Joey Gladstone on Full House, recently revisited his former romance with singer Alanis Morissette and the emotional aftermath of their breakup.

According to Bollywood Shaadis, Coulier previously acknowledged that he recognized elements of their relationship when he first heard Morissette’s hit song “You Oughta Know.” Years later, however, he says there are no hard feelings between them and has spoken warmly about the singer and the kindness she showed his family.

During a radio interview with Jim Norton and Sam Roberts on SiriusXM, Coulier looked back on his relationship with Morissette and the circumstances surrounding their split. He recalled hearing “You Oughta Know” on the radio after their breakup and initially enjoying the song before realizing who was singing it.

As he listened more closely, Coulier began noticing details that reminded him of conversations and experiences from their relationship.
