Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck’s relationship began after meeting at a party hosted by Harvey Weinstein in the late ’90s. They dated on and off from 1997 to 2000 and appeared together in the films Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Bounce (2000). Their relationship had both enjoyable moments and challenges. In a 2015 interview, Paltrow mentioned that dating Affleck was fun, but her parents didn’t approve. She described him as intelligent, talented, and funny, but also mentioned that he wasn’t in a good place in his life to be in a committed relationship. Despite the ups and downs, they remained fond of each other. They initially broke up in 1999, briefly reconciled, and ultimately ended their relationship in 2000.

“That’s really hard, because Brad was like the sort of ‘major chemistry, love of your life’ at the time, and then Ben was like technically excellent,” she said, adding, “I can’t believe my daughter is listening to this.” Paltrow continued, “They’re both so talented,” she said. “I feel like — and Ben is a great writer and director — but I guess I’d probably have to say, acting alone, Brad. If you think of all the really different roles he’s done… Ben is great too. They’re both great.”

Mr. Affleck often receives criticism, and in an interview, he once made a hurtful comment about Ms. Paltrow. He jokingly said that she is like a funny and down-to-earth person who is overweight, but still has a beautiful appearance. This comment was not well-received, as it was seen as disrespectful and hurtful towards Ms. Paltrow. ”I hesitate to elaborate for fear of another pounding at the hands of fat girls offended by the assumption that they are either funny or down-to-earth,” he said adding, ”I apologize. Fat people can be just as aloof and dull as center-of-the-bell-curve-shaped people.”
