Gwyneth Paltrow is happily married to producer Brad Falchuk, but the Hollywood starlet has dated some other big names in the past, namely Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the Iron Man actress was asked about her romances with the leading men, and she didn't hold back. She explained that it was "love at first sight" when she first met Brad, before opening up about what went wrong that ultimately led to them calling off their engagement in 1997, something she admitted left her feeling "heartbroken".

"I had a lot of development to do, looking back in hindsight," she shared. "In a lot of ways, I didn't really fully start to come into myself until I was 40 years old. And I had such a pleasing issue. I didn't really even understand how to listen to my instincts and act from that place."

She said: "Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time and then Ben was, like, technically excellent."

Gwyneth dated Brad from between 1994 and 1997, with the pair getting engaged in December 1996 before their eventual split. The Goop founder moved on with Ben from 1997 to 1999 before a brief reconciliation in 2000, before parting ways for good.
