This fits with other evidence that Socrates was part of Pericles's circle as a young man.

In Plato's dialogue Menexenus she is described as teaching Socrates how to give a funeral speech-
just as she had allegedly once taught Pericles.
Aspasia came from a high-born Athenian family, related to that of Pericles, which had settled in the Greek city of Miletus in Ionia(Asia Minor)
some decades earlier.
The partner of Pericles for around 15 years, she was widely slandered
and reviled by the comic playwrights- the tabloid journalists of their day- for her influence over him.
But Socrates is also said by Plato to have been instructed in eloquence by Aspasia, who
for more than a decade was the partner of Athens's leading statesman Pericles.
Part of Pericles's circle of thinkers, artists
and politicians, she is depicted by Plato, Xenophon and others as an admired instructor of eloquence, as well as a matchmaker and marriage counsellor.
