Gwyneth Paltrow On Brad Pitt And Ben Affleck In Bed
The clip of Paltrow comparing Pitt and Affleck stems from a May 2023 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she made the candid remarks that have since resurfaced.
When host Alex Cooper asked which of her famous exes was better in bed, the GOOP founder didn’t shy away from answering.
Paltrow described Pitt as the “major chemistry ‘love-of-your-life’” kind of relationship.

Paltrow Stuns Fans With Bedroom Take On Pitt, Affleck
Several fans appeared surprised that Paltrow didn’t sidestep the raunchy question, with many taking to social media to weigh in on her candid comparison.
“Imagine Brad Pitt hopping on a podcast ranking Jennifer Aniston vs Angelina Jolie in bed… the timeline would’ve burned the app down,” one X user wrote. “But Gwyneth says it, and it’s just ‘iconic?’”

Inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s Dating History
Like many other Hollywood stars, Paltrow has had a long list of high-profile relationships dating back to the early stages of her career.
Her first known romance was with Donovan Leitch Jr. in 1993, before the pair split two years later, per PEOPLE Magazine. Not long after, she began dating Pitt in the mid-1990s after they met while filming “Se7en.” Their relationship quickly turned serious, with the couple getting engaged, but they ultimately called it off in 1997.
Paltrow then moved on with Affleck, whom she met at a party hosted by Harvey Weinstein in the late ’90s. The two dated on and off from 1997 until they split in 2000.
In the early 2000s, Paltrow met British rock star Chris Martin. The pair married in December 2003 and went on to welcome two children, Apple and Moses. After more than a decade together, they announced their separation in 2014.
She later found love again with Brad Falchuk, whom she married in 2018.
The Actress Remains On Good Terms With Her Exes
Meanwhile, Paltrow has made it clear that she maintains positive relationships with the men in her past, emphasizing that she prefers peace over lingering tension.
During an Instagram Story Q&A, the actress revealed she remains on good terms with her exes and embraces a more intentional approach to breakups.
“I really believe in conscious uncoupling,” she wrote. “When you spend meaningful time with someone, it’s nice to have it morph into friendship. I don’t want to have bad blood with anyone, ever (if I can help it).”
She continues to co-parent her children with Martin and has spoken highly of Pitt and Affleck in the past.
Gwyneth Paltrow On How Her Former Marriage Cost Her A Movie Role
Earlier this year, Paltrow reflected on how the fallout from her divorce from Martin impacted her career.
Speaking on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast in January, the “Shakespeare In Love” actress revealed that she lost out on a film role following their widely publicized split.
According to Paltrow, the timing of the situation made studios hesitant to move forward with her.
“There was a lot of harsh stuff in the press,” she said, per The Guardian. “I think the distributor was like, ‘This might be too hot to touch.’”
Paltrow agreed with Poehler’s suggestion that producers were likely trying to distance themselves from the controversy at the time.
