Gwyneth Paltrow says she and former fiancé Brad Pitt ‘just kind of stayed in touch over the years’

Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s ‘stayed in touch over the years’ with ex-fiancé Brad Pitt.

The 50-year-old actress, speaking with Entertainment Tonight Tuesday, told the outlet about reviving her friendship with Pitt after they broke off their engagement in 1997 after a three-year relationship.

‘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,’ Paltrow told the outlet.

The latest: Gwyneth Paltrow, 50, says she’s ‘stayed in touch over the years’ with ex-fiancé Brad Pitt, 58. She was snapped at a promotional event for the brand Copper Fit in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday 

The Shakespeare in Love star made clear she holds Pitt, 58, in high regard.

‘I adore him,’ Paltrow said. ‘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.’

The Goop founder earlier this year conducted a Q&A with the A-list actor on her website. 

The Oscar-winning actress said that she’s never caught flak from her husband Brad Falchuk for staying in touch with her ex, describing her spouse as ‘the least judgmental, most secure man in our relationship.’

Paltrow said she thinks husband Brad Falchuk, who she wed four years ago, ‘totally respects’ the friendship she and Pitt share

She said she thinks Falchuk, who she wed four years ago, ‘totally respects’ the friendship she and Pitt, who starred in the 1995 thriller Se7en together, share.

‘Probably one of the things that he likes about me is that I believe in conscious uncoupling,’ she said, ‘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 … maybe you’re not then fully letting the full lesson reveal itself and the healing happen.

‘So even though sometimes it can be uncomfortable, I think it’s nice to work through it and reconnect with the value that that person brought to your life.’

Paltrow said that she and Falchuk ‘have amazing chemistry and so that’s a great part of a foundation,’ adding, ‘My body feels really good when he’s around, so that’s just luck.

‘I think we have a great almost reverence for commitment and building, continuing to nourish a marriage. We’ve become very good communicators, and so that’s a very important part.’

Paltrow is mother to Apple, 18, and Moses, 16, with ex-husband Chris Martin, 45, while Falchuk is father to Isabella, 18, and Brody, 16, with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
