'Little House on the Prairie' star admits it was 'horrible' dating Rob Lowe during his heartthrob era
Melissa Gilbert is reflecting on her past love life. During an appearance on the "I Choose Me With Jennie Garth" podcast, the "Little House on the Prairie" star got candid about navigating fame from a young age and explained how dating Rob Lowe impacted her view on relationships moving forward. "I guess looking back on those six years, I mean, I was such a baby when Rob and I were together," said Gilbert, who dated Lowe on and off from when she was 17 to 23. "It was very tumultuous. I felt like a bit of an old sage in the business at that point because I'd been doing it for so long. And I was still on 'Little House on the Prairie' when we met, and it had already been years, and he was sort of starting out." "He'd done a little bit of television. And so I was able to sort of sit back and watch this meteoric rise happen. I don't think I was prepared for the stuff that came with it, necessarily. I was prepared for all of having to go to premieres and things and award shows and all of that, but I wasn't prepared for the fandom and, frankly, the girls." "I always thought that every girl and woman was my sister. We're sisters, but it was not evident at all when Rob and I were a couple. I mean, it was like I didn't exist. They just pushed right past me and stuck phone numbers in his pockets and stuff." Gilbert admitted that period of her life was difficult. "To say it was disconcerting is doing it a big disservice," she said. "It was hard and horrible." A representative for Lowe did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Despite the challenges, Gilbert said the relationship helped her learn a lot about desires when it came to finding love. "I think I learned a lot about what didn't work for me, actually, and what I wouldn't stand for later on," she said. "They're hard because they usually are born of heartbreak and angst, but those are really valuable and important lessons… We had some really, really, really fun times." Last year, Gilbert - who landed the role of Laura Ingalls Wilder at the age of 9 - opened up about her decision to leave Hollywood. "All of the pressures, I faced all of them," Gilbert explained to People magazine at the time. "When you live in Los Angeles, it's like living at the mall when you work at the mall. Literally, everyone is in the business. When you walk into a restaurant, every head turns to see who walked in. Everybody's always looking, curious, competing and that's a really difficult thing, especially for a female actor. It puts a lot of pressure on staying thin and staying young, and really it makes it hard to feel comfortable in one's own skin, because [of] the aging process." "No matter how much we push it downstream, it's inevitable," she continued. "So are you going to age comfortably and happily? Are you going to fight it, be unhealthy and feel like there's something wrong with you for aging and that you're defective because you've gotten older?" Gilbert and her husband, actor Timothy Busfield, moved to Michigan in 2013. The actress spent the next few years without Botox or facial fillers. She even had her breast implants removed in 2015. The 60-year-old film producer emphasized aging is a "blessing." "I had to get out of there [L.A.], because it felt like I was not being authentically myself," she told People. "In the five years that I was in Michigan, all of that stopped. … I stopped everything and just focused on being as physically and emotionally healthy as I could. And I think that shows, 'Yes, I'm aging, but it's not a curse — it's a blessing.'"

Daniel, brought to life by Rob since 1995, has become an integral part of the show as Ken Barlow's (William Roache) son, entangled in numerous high-stakes plots. His Weatherfield journey has been anything but dull, marked by tumultuous love affairs, a near-fatal attack on his father, and the tragic loss of his wife Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn). Recently, Daniel's woes continued as he faced heartache when Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) departed from the street after a five-year stint. However, it's Rob Mallard's off-screen romance that has left fans agape, as they learned he's dating a familiar face from the soap world, reports OK!. Earlier in the year, Rob's partner Matthew Martin made a cameo on the cobbles as a police officer who arrested Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) in a nail-biting scene. Matthew took to Instagram in February to express his excitement about his role, posting a photo with Rob and praising him for his support. He captioned the post: "Ey mam! I'm on the telly box! Quite a surreal time being pulled in SUPER last minute to step in as a Policeman to arrest Cassie Plummer. All thanks to @mossy737 for giving me the opportunity to work on the iconic show that is @coronationstreet and of course my lad @ for being the biggest support and showing me the ropes." Fans were absolutely stunned after working out why Matthew looked so familiar to them. One viewer exclaimed: "I thought I recognised them well then! !" Another fan wrote: "Amazing and well done. How wonderful for Rob too. This is a great photo of you both!" A third added: "Bring you boyfriend to work day! amazing xx." In the past, Rob was romantically linked with fellow cast member Daniel Brocklebank, who portrays vicar Billy Mayhew on the cobbles. The soap actors were an item in 2017 and made their official public appearance as a couple at the British LGBT awards. Nevertheless, they parted ways just two months after confirming their romance publicly.

Send your pictures and stories of why you love City
On Monday, we asked you to tell us why you fell in love with Manchester City and some of your favourite moments supporting have already been getting in touch with your photos and stories and here is just a taste from Rob:"My father (83) had a tie to the club in the early 1960s. He was a Manchester policeman and played for City in the Lancashire Leagues. He kept the programmes that had his name on the teamsheet. I wanted to do the same, although I wasn't quite good enough, but being able to watch Bell, Summerbee, Lee and Marsh in action, standing on the Kippax was good enough."A 44-year wait for a trophy was tough but brings you closer to a club you grew up supporting. Since 2015, my son and I made a commitment to visit Etihad Stadium at least four times a season, despite us living in the south of England. We've kept it, although he only knows a great City team, worships Sergio Aguero and gives me funny looks when I reflect on games v Colchester, Gillingham and York in Division Two."Three generations of supporter, I'm proud to say my family is intrinsically linked to the club, its history, its players and light blue. My son has a collection of 35 kits from David Silva to Ryan Cherki. "Being at the Etihad or Maine Road has provided us with the most vivid and happiest memories of growing up and being together as a three-generation family. We're all privileged to be a small part of the club."Join the conversation and send your best photos about why you love first visit to the stadium? A special kit? An amazing away trip?Send us your pictures and stories

Melissa Gilbert's 'tumultuous' Rob Lowe romance
Melissa Gilbert's six-year relationship with Rob Lowe was 'very tumultuous'. The 61-year-old former child star dated Rob, 61, off and on from 1981 to 1987 and admitted his heartthrob status was difficult to deal with. Speaking on the I Choose Me podcast, she said: 'I guess looking back on those six years, I mean, I was such a baby when Rob and I were together. I was 17 and we broke up for the last time when we were 23 and it was very tumultuous. 'I felt like a bit of an old sage in the business at that point because I'd been doing it for so long. And I was still on Little House on the Prairie when we met, and it had already been years, and he was sort of starting out. He'd done a little bit of television. And so I was able to sort of sit back and watch this meteoric rise happen. 'I don't think I was prepared for the stuff that came with it, necessarily. I was prepared for all of having to go to premieres and things and award shows and all of that, but I wasn't prepared for the fandom and frankly, the girls. 'I always thought that every girl and woman was my sister. We're sisters, but it was not evident at all when Rob and I were a couple. I mean, it was like I didn't exist. They just pushed right past me and stick phone numbers in his pockets and stuff. 'To say it was disconcerting is doing it a big disservice. It was hard and horrible.' However, Melissa is now grateful for the romance as it helped her set boundaries in future relationships. She said: 'I think I learned a lot about what didn't work for me, actually, and what I wouldn't stand for later on. 'They're hard because they usually are born of heartbreak and angst, but those are really valuable and important lessons… We had some really, really, really fun times. 'But in looking back, I look at the way my life is so easeful now and I look at it back then, and I feel like my shoulders were always up by my ears, always waiting for the next shoe to drop or something bad to happen or some, I don't know, something untoward or gross.'
