Gwyneth Paltrow's Romances: 'Platonic' Kiss Scandal, Dad Opposed Ben Affleck, Close To Ex-Chris

Just when the internet had moved past the Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' scandal, the stir has been reignited after the billion-dollar tech-giant, Astronomer, which has been at the centre of the controversy, brought Oscar-winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, to the scene as a temporary spokesperson. She has been tasked to clear the company's stance, which came under scrutiny when their former CEO and HR head were caught having an extramarital affair during a Coldplay concert in their Kiss Cam.

However, things get more interesting because Gwyneth is the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, who famously called out former CEO, Andy and HR Head, Kristin, when they appeared on screen and said, "Either they're having an affair, or they are really shy." As Chris and Gwyneth's personal life has come to the forefront during the whole fiasco, let's take a look at the Shakespeare In Love actress's dating history, filled with A-listers.

Gwyneth Paltrow's alleged romances in the 90s and whirlwind engagement with Brad Pitt

Gwyneth Paltrow's first relationship rumour surfaced with Donovan Leitch in 1995. But, before their bond could be confirmed or denied by them, alleged news about their breakup surfaced two years later. However, in 2013, the speculations reignited when the duo shared a friendly kiss on the lips at a Dodgers baseball game. It immediately gained headlines because the actress was still married to Chris Martin. Later, Donovan denied the rumours and told The Daily Mail that the kiss was 'purely platonic'. Sharing his stance, the actor said:

"I was just saying goodbye to her. It was purely innocent. We were sitting in the owner's box in front of 30,000 people with her two children right next to us. That isn't exactly the setting for a secret liaison."

After Donovan in the 90s, Gwyneth was speculated to have a relationship with Dead Poets Society actor, Robert Sean Leonard. They were speculated to be dating privately for a year by E! News. Later, the actor spoke to the New York Post about their dating buzz and said that it was "the funniest breakup I've ever had." He even mentioned that the actress tried to set him up with someone new. 

The most famous romance of Gwyneth Paltrow in the '90s was with Brad Pitt after they met on the set of Seven in 1994. The couple dated for nearly three years before getting engaged and were considered the 'IT' couple in Hollywood, who even got the same hairstyles. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the actor admitted that he quickly fell in love with her and often found himself speechless in front of her. Brad popped the question while shooting for a project in Argentina, but after six months, they shocked the world with their breakup. Talking about the same on The Howard Stern Show, the actress said: 

"I think I was a kid, and I wasn't ready. He was too good for me. I honestly do think I was too young and didn't know what I was doing."

Gwyneth Paltrow's brief relationships with Ben Affleck and Luke Wilson

While Gwyneth continued to be on good terms with Brad, she next dated Ben Affleck, who was another big name in Hollywood. They dated on and off from 1997 to 2000 while they were co-stars for Shakespeare in Love and Bounce. They met at a party hosted by Harvey Weinstein, and soon Ben's 'intellect' and 'talent' impressed the actress. In the same The Howard Stern Show, Gwyneth said that he was fun, but her parents were not on board with their relationship. Next, in the early 2000s, she was briefly linked to her The Royal Tenenbaums co-star, Luke Wilson. However, none of them ever spoke about it in public.

Gwyneth Paltrow's decade-long marriage to Chris Martin and finding the love of her life 

Gwyneth Paltrow's longest relationship was with Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin. They first met in 2002 at one of his concerts and dated for a year before tying the knot. Gwyneth and Chris were married for 10 years and welcomed two kids. However, the adorable duo left the fans in shock when they famously announced they were "consciously uncoupling" in 2014 in a Goop post. Despite their split, the two continue to share a cordial bond. After everything, Gwyneth didn't give up on love and met the love of her life in her second husband, Brad Falchuk, whom she married in 2018. Sharing her admiration for him, the actress once told InStyle: 

"I adore my husband. He's brilliant and deeply kind. I feel like he's a real equal, too. And he pushes me in the best ways. I really like being married. It's fun."
