Gwyneth Paltrow gets personal in a recent podcast interview with Alex Cooper called Call Her Daddy. The actress was put on the spot when Cooper asked which of Patrow's A-list ex-boyfriends, Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt, was better in bed. Paltrow didn't back down from the question as she answered it honestly. "That's really hard," Paltrow said. "Because Brad was like the major chemistry love of your life at the time. And then Ben was like technically excellent." 

She continues, "I can't believe my daughter's listening to this."

Paltrow first began dating Pitt in 1994, in which they got engaged two years later. Paltrow recalls her connection with Pitt calling it "major, major love at first sight."

"One night we were on the balcony of this house we were renting in this little town in Argentina," she reminisced when Pitt proposed. "I wish I remembered exactly what he said, but he proposed, it was fantastic, I was thrilled. We had talked about it, but I was surprised in the moment, I remember that. I must have been 24."

However, the wedding never came to fruition as the engagement was called off and the couple eventually split. Paltrow states she simply wasn't ready to get married. "When I look back I really was a kid, really more than most 22, 24 years old I meet now. I really had not explored who I was, what was important to me, what my boundaries were," she said. She does mention that she was "totally heartbroken" when they broke up.

Since their split, the two are still on friendly terms and Paltrow recently revealed she is still in contact with Pitt and that they still have love for one another.

Shortly after calling it quits with Pitt, Paltrow started her on-and-off relationship with Affleck. Their relationship lasted for three years until they eventually went their separate ways. As she talked about her relationships with the two in the podcast, Paltrow noticeably expressed no signs of animosity towards them. She recalls Pitt as being more romantic, but Affleck as more likely to make her laugh. 

"God bless J.Lo and everything she is getting over there!" laughs Cooper referring to Affleck's wife Jennifer Lopez.
