According to comedian David Spade, Boyle and Nicholson initially met when Spade was dating Boyle, telling Details in 2015: “Nicholson asked Lara Flynn Boyle out in front of me, while we were all smoking a doob somewhere.”
She, however, denied Spade’s account — saying, “I think certain people like to embellish that for publicity. That never happened. Never happened.”
She and Nicholson were first together from 1999-2001. They were then spotted together again a few years later in St. Tropez in 2006. Boyle then went on to meet her husband, real estate investor and developer Donald Ray Thomas.
