Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals Her Friends Did NOT Like Ben Affleck When They Were Dating

That Gwyneth Paltrow has all the bloomin’ luck, doesn’t she? Not only has she nabbed an Oscar, she was married (and is still best mates) with the recently-fit and pretty talented Chris Martin, AS WELL AS having dated Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

But despite dating a whole host of eligible film stars, Gwynnie’s still had to deal with the age-old problem of your mates not really like your boyfriend.

The lad in question? None other than Ben Affleck, who Gwyneth’s pal, Mario Batali straight up DISLIKED – and he let her know about it.
Speaking at a dinner at Mario’s NYC restaurant, she told the audience:

“He was just teasing me about every boyfriend I brought to his restaurant over the years.

"He liked Brad Pitt, if you want to know. Didn’t like Ben Affleck that much.”

Ouch, want some ice for that burn, Ben?

The couple dated for a few years, but later split up – Gwyneth stating at the time that Ben was a good guy, but not in the ‘right place’ for a girlfriend.

It comes after Gwyneth and Chris Martin’s divorce got finalised this week, reportedly reached a divorce settlement in May after announcing their “conscious uncoupling” more than two years ago.

The Oscar winner, 43, and the Coldplay frontman, 39, who wed in 2003 and filed for divorce in April 2015, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split, have now figured out the logistics of their breakup.

According to a legal document filed by Paltrow (and obtained by E! news) though, the couple have entered into a written agreement regarding their various properties and child custody rights, while both parties have given up their rights to spousal support.
