10 Things You Didn’t Know About Gwyneth Paltrow And Brad Pitt’s Relationship
Published on June 29, 2016. Updated March 20, 2018Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt broke up eons ago, but we’re still not over them. We wanted them to end up together and have beautiful blonde babies but, alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Lucky for us, they were one of the most talked about couples in the ‘90s, so we can just reminisce about their relationship. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Hollywood’s former golden couple:
10. How They Met
They met on the set of the 1995 thriller Se7en. They were playing husband and wife. He reportedly suggested her for the part. He had remembered her audition for Legends of the Fall, a film he starred in and a part she didn’t get. “The Tracy character was so important, because it’s the only sunshine we have in the film. This is the feel bad movie on 1995,” he said. “We needed someone who could take those little seconds she gets and fill them with soul, and that’s what I’d always seen in her performances – soul. She took a fantastic part and made it better.”
PREMIUM9. First Date
Their first date was at an Italian restaurant in L.A. and, according to her, no one gave them a second glance.

After they broke up, the Emma star told Vanity Fair that something changed in her when her relationship with the 12 Monkeys actor ended. When we split up, something changed permanently in me,” she said. “My heart sort of broke that day and it will never be the same.” Although neither of them ever went into detail over why they decided to end their two and a half year romance, she did say that that the relationship wasn’t healthy. “I think you have to keep yourself intact in order to have a healthy relationship and I didn’t,” she said. “I loved every second of it, but it wasn’t healthy.”

In an interview with Howard Stern in 2015, the Shakespeare in Love star said that her father loved Brad as a son and was devastated when she broke up with him. She also said that her age and lack of life experience was what doomed the relationship. “I was such a kid, I was 22 when we met. It’s taken me until 40 to get my head out of my a–. You can’t make that decision when you’re 22 years old… I wasn’t ready, and he was too good for me… I didn’t know what I was doing,” she said.
