Rock star’s ‘awful’ date with Melissa Joan Hart star led to romance with wife

Blink-182 bassist and singer Mark Hoppus didn’t have a magical evening with Melissa Joan Hart.

In an excerpt from his new memoir, “Fahrenheit-182,” shared with Entertainment Weekly, Hoppus recalled meeting the “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” star at the Teen Choice Awards, “and she must’ve found me interesting because she had her publicist reach out to my label’s publicist to give me her number. Totally normal courtship.”

Hoppus admitted he tried to be cool and use “Hollywood industry jargon” but realized it probably didn’t impress her because she “had been famous for years.”

The pair went on a date for sushi, but Hoppus didn’t feel like they were clicking.

“It was an awful date. She was very nice, but we weren’t connecting. Everything in her life revolved around acting, and it was hard to relate to her about anything else,” he wrote.

He said when he asked about what kind of food she liked besides sushi, she said she mostly eats what’s available on set. When he asked about what she liked to read, she said she mostly read scripts for work.

“And I’m sure from her perspective, all I could talk about was music. We just weren’t a great match. It was tough,” Hoppus said.

After the dinner, Hart invited him back to her home, but he ended up calling it an early night so he could be ready for a music video shoot in the morning. 

When he got back to his hotel room, he had a voicemail from Skye Everly, an MTV booker, asking him to call her.

Hoppus returned the call, and “some light pleasantries quickly turned into deep conversation. We talked about everything.”

“We talked for so long that the sun came up and we realized we’d talked all night.”

The “All the Small Things” singer married Everly in 2000, and welcomed their son, Jack, two years later.
