Gwyneth Paltrow spoke about her relationship with Ben Affleck
In 2023, Paltrow appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Host Alex Cooper asked her to play a game of “Brad or Ben” in which she compared Affleck and Pitt. Cooper asked who Paltrow thought was better in bed. Paltrow said the question was “really hard” to answer.

“Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time and then Ben was, like, technically excellent,” she said (per Today). “I can’t believe my daughter is listening to this!”

Cooper shouted out Lopez, who married Affleck in 2022.

“God bless J.Lo and everything she is getting over there!” she said.

When reflecting on her relationship with Affleck, Paltrow said she realized he wasn’t ready for a serious girlfriend. She also believed that she was using the relationship to work through some of her own problems.

“It’s interesting,” she told Howard Stern in 2018 (per Us Weekly). “I think there’s certain boyfriends where you are trying to work stuff out, right? Like, you’re trying to heal certain stuff from your childhood and he was very much a lesson in that way. I’m not sure exactly what I was trying to heal in that instance, but it was … he was, you know. It was specific.”
