Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up About Rekindling Friendship With Ex Brad Pitt

Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about her friendship with ex-flame Brad Pitt and what her husband, "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk, feels about it.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published Wednesday, Paltrow revealed that she and the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" actor were able to rekindle their friendship after calling off their engagement several years ago.

"When we first broke up, we weren't friends for a while and then we sort of found our way back, probably about 18 or 19 years ago, something like that, and then just kind of stayed in touch over the years," she told the outlet, adding that she is a huge fan of Pitt.

"I adore him. 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," she said.

Paltrow went on to talk about her husband, suggesting that Falchuk has been cool about her friendship with her ex. "My husband is probably like the least judgmental, most secure man in our relationship, so I think he totally respects the friendship," she said.

"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. 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 to happen," she continued.

The "Iron Man" actress explained that even though it may be uncomfortable, she believes it's good to "work through it" and "reconnect with the value that that person brought to your life."

Paltrow also gushed about Falchuk, whom she said she shares an "amazing chemistry" with. "My body feels really good when he's around, so that's just luck," she said, adding that their past failed relationships have taught them to value both commitment and communication in their relationship.

Paltrow and Pitt dated from 1994 to 1997 but called it quits just a few months after announcing their engagement. In a 2015 interview, Paltrow blamed their breakup on her youth, saying she felt she was just a kid and wasn't ready for marriage at the time.
