Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow share a loving friendship even after all these years from their breakup.
The former couple got together to talk about Pitt’s involvement with a new cashmere brand, God’s True Cashmere, with the interview published on Goop’s blog. During their conversation, Pitt and Paltrow—who dated in the ’90s and were briefly engaged before ultimately calling it off in 1997—reflected on their loving friendship more than two decades after they broke up.
“Okay, since it’s almost Father’s Day, I’m going to ask you about Bruce,” Paltrow told Pitt, referring to her father, Bruce Paltrow. “I’ll never forget when we were engaged and he came to me one day, his eyes full of tears, and he said, ‘You know, I never really realized what they mean when they say you’re gaining a son. Like, I’m gaining a son.’ What impact did he have on you? Why did you love him, even though we didn’t get married, unfortunately.”

Pitt responded, “Yeah, right. [Laughs.] Oh man, everything works out, doesn’t it?”
The two continued …
Paltrow: Yes, it does. I finally found the Brad I was supposed to marry. It just took me 20 years.
Pitt: And it’s lovely to have you as a friend now.
Paltrow: It is.
Pitt: And I do love you.
Paltrow: I love you so much.
Paltrow ended up marrying Coldplay front man Chris Martin in 2003, though the couple later famously “consciously uncoupled” in 2014. She later married Brad Falchuk in 2018. Meanwhile, Pitt married Jennifer Aniston in 2000, and then divorced in 2005. He then married Angelina Jolie in 2014, though the actress filed for divorce in 2016.
