No drama here! Gwyneth Paltrow revealed how husband Brad Falchuk feels about her decades-long friendship with Brad Pitt — and if he appreciates her ability to stay close with an ex.“Probably one of the things that he likes about me is that I believe in conscious uncoupling, whether you’re uncoupling with a coworker, a spouse, a boyfriend,” Paltrow, 50, told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published on Wednesday, October 18. “I really do believe that if you’ve invested in somebody — and of course there are exceptions — to amputate that relationship [shows that] maybe you’re not then fully letting the full lesson reveal itself and the healing happen.” “The Shakespeare in Love star explained that while a relationship with a former flame can “sometimes be uncomfortable” it can also be fulfilling to “work through it and reconnect with the value that someone once brought to your life.”Paltrow and Pitt, 58, began dating in 1994 before getting engaged in 1996, though the pair called it quits later that same year.
While the Goop founder revealed that she and the Fight Club star “weren’t friends for awhile” after their split, they “found our way back, probably about 18 or 19 years ago” and have stayed in touch ever since.“I adore him,” Paltrow gushed of the Paper Girls producer. “He’s an amazing person, and he’s a great entrepreneur, and such a creative, and such a good person.
I really love him. I’m a big fan.”Following their breakup, Pitt went on to marry Jennifer Aniston in 2000 before divorcing five years later.
