Gwyneth Paltrow got candid about her past relationship with Ben Affleck in an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” back in 2015. At the time, she admitted that while her parents adored the “Argo” actor, they thought he wasn’t right for their daughter. “I think they [my parents] appreciated how he’s super intelligent, and he’s really talented and funny, but he wasn’t in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend,” the “Iron Man” star confessed. “They loved him, but they were okay with us not being together.” Meanwhile, they were downright crushed when she broke things off with Brad Pitt. “[With] Brad, my father, honestly was so sad,” Paltrow added, noting that her late father took it the hardest. “My father was so devastated when we broke up,” she said. “My father loved him like a son.”

It’s still not clear what ultimately led to Paltrow and Affleck’s split, but during a 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer, Paltrow hinted that Affleck had a lot of issues that he needed to work out on his own. “Ben makes life tough for himself,” she divulged. “He’s got a lot of complication, and you know, he really is a great guy. So I hope he sorts himself out.” Apparently, she never expected that they would be in it for the long haul, either. “I just think we have a very different sort of value system.”
