Aly said the relationship “absolutely never” happened as she asked the podcast host, “That’s funny, is this, like, a thing online?”

Her sister was similarly confused. “Wait, who said that?” AJ, 33, asked, before doubling down on Aly’s response. “Literally can attest — [they] never even kissed,” she said.

“No. It was always a friendship,” Aly, whomarried Stephen Ringerin 2015 andshares a son with him, said.

“That age range felt huge. I was 13 and I think he was 16…which is huge at that point,” Aly said. “But I remember during the [chemistry] test, when I tested forPhil of the Future, and I saw he was the other boy that was up for it, I was like, ‘He’s really cute.’ And then of course you meet them and then you’re like, now we’re just buddies.”

In fact, AJ revealed that she and her sister “actually became really good friends with his girlfriend during that show,” which is ironic given the internet speculation about Aly and Ullman.

“That is hilarious,” AJ said of the rumors, and her sister agreed, “That is so funny to me.”

Aly played Keely Teslow onPhil of the Future’s two seasons from 2004 to 2006, during which she and her sister began performing as the musical duo Aly & AJ.

In December, AJ recalled just how close she and her sister were with Cyrus, 32, during their early days. “We had a great run with each other. I mean, we could have toured for months together,” she told PEOPLE. “We really gelled on and off-stage. Our moms were friends. Our senses of humor were very similar. And we got to sing a Kiss song with her, [“Rock and Roll All Nite,”] every night.”

“She’s a very down-to-earth, cool person through and through,” she added of the “Flowers” singer. “Exactly what you think you’re going to get, you’re going to get, which is what I love about her.”
