The actress has yet again left fans stunned with her candid confessions. The most recent is about her past relationships, telling it all in a recent episode of the podcast “Call Her Daddy” with Alex Cooper. When asked about Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt, whom she had turned down an Oscar-winning role for, Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t shy from opening up on contentious aspects of each relationship and fans have since been hooked on it all.
Gwyneth Paltrow tied the knot with TV writer Brad Falchuk in 2018, and they’ve continued to live in a blissful union.
Nonetheless, the actress on the podcast fearlessly responded to which of her former partners, Ben or Brad was more skilled in bed.
She told host Cooper, “That’s hard. Because Brad was major chemistry, love-of-your-life at the time. Ben was technically excellent.” Gwyneth admitted that though Ben and Brad were good kissers, she particularly stressed that Brad had a more romantic personality, possessed a better fashion sense, and, considering “all the different roles he’s taken on,” was probably the better actor.
She continued, ‘And Ben is a great writer and director,’ also mentioning how Ben was likelier to make her laugh but also likelier to get into an argument with.
“I can’t believe my daughter’s listening to this,” Gwyneth added in the podcast. Fans of the actress, 50, will recall Gwyneth and Brad started their romance in 1994 and even got engaged. However, their relationship ended in 1997 when Gwyneth was 24 years old, as she allegedly felt that she was too young to wed. Shortly after, she started a three-year romance with Ben and they also separated.
After Ben and Brad, Gwyneth tied the knot with Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, with whom she “consciously separated” in 2014, ultimately finalizing their divorce in 2016.
Both Gwyneth and Martin share two children: 18-year-old daughter Apple and 17-year-old son Moses. However, the actress has a reputation for her frank interviews and viewpoints, therefore it’s safe to say that her daughter Apple won’t be surprised by her mother’s openness. Last year, Gwyneth wrote a compelling essay about reaching 50 and also reflected on both her mother, actress Blythe Danner, and her late father, Bruce Paltrow.
As with reaching age 50, she wrote, “I strangely have no sense of time passed… there is something about the sweetness of life that exists deep within me… It seems to be getting sweeter.”
She further acknowledged that, despite her zest for life only getting stronger, she did start noticing the physical passing of time on her skin, adding, ‘My body, a map of the evidence of all the days, is less timeless.” A collection of marks and irregularities that dog-ear the chapters. Scarred from oven burns, a finger smashed in a window long ago, the birth of a child. Silver hair and fine lines.’
