"The O.C." alum dated the "Barry" star for less than a year until their breakup in July 2020.
Apparently, there's a lot of "B.D.E." in Hollywood, and Pete Davidson does not have the monopoly on it. Rachel Bilson got candid -- and more than a little NSFW -- when talking about what she missed most about her ex-boyfriend Bill Hader.
She and the "Saturday Night Live" alum and critically-acclaimed star of "Barry" dated for less than a year before their July 2020 breakup. Hmm, maybe this "B.D.E." is a "SNL" thing?

View Story"The O.C." alum let it all hang out with a very candid comment during the latest episode of her podcast, "Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson." When asked by co-host Olivia Allen what she missed most about Hader, she blurted out, "His big d---!"

She went so far as to say it was the hardest thing she'd ever endured, even "harder than childbirth." But, she noted, "If you actually face it, you can come out of it and be like, 'OK, I did that and I'm ready for the next thing."
