The touching conversation came about when Drew had Anna Chlumsky, who most recently starred in Netflix's Inventing Anna, give her a tarot reading live on-air.

When the actress asked her to pose a question as the reading began, the mom-of-two posed a bold and revelatory one, asking: "Will I see him again?" which immediately prompted intrigued gasps from the audience.

The Riding in Cars with Boys lead was drawn to a card revealed as the eight of cups, and the drawing in it portrayed a hiker walking solo through mountains by the sea and a sketch of eight pink goblets.
