Who Has Gwyneth Paltrow Dated?

8 Men Who Have Romanced Gwyneth Paltrow, From A-List Actors to a Ketchup Heir

Brad Pitt

Gwyneth Paltrow has been married to TV producer Brad Falchuk since 2018. But before Falchuk put a ring on it, Paltrow was engaged to another Brad, last name Pitt — you may have heard of him? She also famously dated Ben Affleck, who is now married to Jennifer Lopez. And we all know about her infamous "conscious uncoupling" from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

During Paltrow's May appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the Goop founder recalled her past romances, saying meeting Pitt while filming their 1995 film "Se7en" was "major love at first sight." She added, "It was crazy." Despite getting engaged, the couple eventually broke up in 1997. "I had a lot of development to do, looking back in hindsight. In a lot of ways, I didn't really fully start to come into myself until I was 40 years old," Paltrow said. "And I had such a pleasing issue. I didn't really even understand how to listen to my instincts and act from that place."

Paltrow noted that she was "totally heartbroken when we broke up," and added, "He's a great guy. He's wonderful, I really like him a lot."

When asked to compare her famous exes in a game, Paltrow revealed both Pitt and Affleck were good kissers, but when it came down to who was better in bed, she said the choice was "really hard." She explained, "Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time, and then Ben was, like, technically excellent."

There are also a few more under-the-radar relationships Paltrow has under her belt, which we've rounded up ahead.
