Gwyneth Paltrow felt ‘sad’ when Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston, relished when pals said he had ‘terrible taste’



Gwyneth Paltrow felt “sad” when she learned Brad Pitt had married Jennifer Aniston, according to author Amy Odell’s new book “Gwyneth: The Biography.”

During a September 2000 interview at the Toronto Film Festival, a “gossipy reporter” asked the “Shakespeare In Love” star “how she felt about Brad Pitt marrying Jennifer Aniston [in July of that year]. ‘Are you really asking me this question?’ Gwyneth replied, her eyes now ‘daggers.’ ‘I can’t comment on this kind of thing,’” an excerpt from O’Dell’s book reads, per Us Weekly.

“In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she’d felt sad when she learned they were getting married. (She was also fond of telling them that Brad ‘has terrible taste in women.’)”

Paltrow, 52, couldn’t hide her hurt over Pitt’s marriage to the “Friends” star as she threw another jab at him during a business meeting with Estee Lauder cosmetics heiress Aerin Lauder later that year.

“At one dinner, the two were talking about Brad Pitt. According to someone familiar with the discussion, Gwyneth allegedly told her, ‘He’s dumber than a sack of s–t,’” the excerpt reads.

Paltrow and Pitt began dating in 1994 after meeting on the set of “Se7en.”

However, Paltrow’s “doubts” about their relationship had her crushing on a different Hollywood heartthrob — Hugh Grant.

“During ‘Emma’s’ filming, Gwyneth expressed doubts to one crew member that Pitt was right for her, and admitted that she had a crush on Hugh Grant,” reads another excerpt from the book.

“‘Brad and I had very different upbringings,’ she told an interviewer. ‘So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, “This is beluga and this is osetra.”‘

While the pair got engaged in 1996, they called it quits in 1997 and never shared a “concrete reason for their breakup.”

Pitt went on to date Aniston, whom he proposed to in 1999. They tied the knot in Malibu on July 29, 2000, but divorced five years later after Pitt struck up a romance with his “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” co-star Angelina Jolie.

Paltrow’s next beau would be Ben Affleck, who was “struggling with alcoholism and a gambling habit” at the time he was introduced to her in 1997, according to the biography. Though, they broke up after a little over a year of dating.

The Goop founder later married Coldplay rockstar Chris Martin on Dec. 5, 2003, and welcomed two children: daughter Apple and son Moses. They divorced after more than 10 years of marriage in 2014.

The mogul is currently married to producer Brad Falchuck, whom she wed in 2018.

“Gwyneth: The Biography” will become available for purchase on July 29 and is available now for preorder.
