  • 00:00

    When Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt began their romance in 1995, they were the Golden Couple

  • 00:05

    of that era, the couple too effortlessly beautiful to fail.

  • 00:15

    And yet, while their romance was a blazing storm, it was snuffed out so suddenly.

  • 00:20

    They seemed like a match made in Hollywood heaven, but sadly it was all too good to be

  • 00:25

    true.

  • 00:26

    While we saw loving gazes, what happened behind the scenes was so unhealthy, it made Gwyneth

  • 00:31

    hate herself.

  • 00:33

    Gwen and Brad met as any fated Hollywood couple does on a movie set.

  • 00:37

    They starred as an on-screen couple in the relentlessly grim film 'Se7en', where they

  • 00:41

    played doomed lovers.

  • 00:43

    But while that film ended with her head in a box and him destined for jail, in real life,

  • 00:48

    they were destined for something a little less gruesome.

  • 00:50

    Their chemistry was magnetic, and very soon, they were inseparable.

  • 00:55

    Gwyneth, who was just twenty-two years old at the time, admitted it was "love at second

  • 01:00

    sight" with Brad, who was thirty-one.

  • 01:12

    At first, she didn't realize he was flirting with her and thought he was just being friendly.

  • 01:21

    Her career was only just taking off, and she was relatively unknown in the movie-making

  • 01:25

    scene, so she never thought that a Hollywood A-lister would be making moves on her.

  • 01:29

    But she was wrong.

  • 01:30

    It wasn't long before everyone on set knew they were an item, and a smitten Gwyneth confirmed

  • 01:35

    it to the world when she gushed: "I am properly in love for the first time in my life... and

  • 01:41

    I do not care if my former boyfriends read this."

  • 01:52

    The couple was obsessed with each other.

  • 01:53

    They even turned down jobs so that they could spend as much time together as they could.

  • 01:58

    They were practically joint at the hip.

  • 02:00

    When the actress was away on set, she drank out of a mug with Brad's face on it.

  • 02:05

    As for Brad, he called Gwen his 'angel' and described the time away from her as, "A beast.

  • 02:10

    A big hairy beast."

  • 02:12

    "Really, all I can tell you is I've never been happier.

  • 02:15

    My girl's got class."

  • 02:16

    Pitt confessed.

  • 02:18

    Paltrow's parents also adored Pitt, and he got along with her whole family.

  • 02:21

    There were many other celebs who were completely in awe of the young couple's love.

  • 02:26

    "Her love affair with Brad gives her strength.

  • 02:28

    It's not because he's a superstar but because he is completely besotted with her," movie

  • 02:33

    exec Meryl Poster said of Brad and Gwen.

  • 02:36

    It seemed like they were so crazy in love like there was enough love between them for

  • 02:40

    everyone in the room.

  • 02:42

    So when the right time came, Pitt asked her father for his blessing to propose to Gwen.

  • 02:47

    It's no surprise that he got the nod of approval, and in 1997, Brad proposed after two years

  • 02:52

    of dating.

  • 02:53

    He described the moment as "one of the greatest" of his life.

  • 03:03

    Their appearance at the 1997 premiere of The Devil's Own remains an iconic moment in their

  • 03:08

    history, thanks to their matching haircuts.

  • 03:10

    Gwen even admitted that it was all on purpose because they had gone to the same hairstylist

  • 03:14

    and asked for the same haircut.

  • 03:16

    If that isn't the epitome of cute, we don't know what is!

  • 03:20

    When Brad won his Golden Globe for his performance in the film '12 Monkeys', he thanked "the

  • 03:26

    love of my life, my angel, Gwyneth Paltrow" in his acceptance speech, and the rest of

  • 03:31

    the world swooned.

  • 03:32

    They continued to steal the hearts of fans, strolling down the streets of New York, hand-in-hand

  • 03:37

    and looking lovingly at one another.

  • 03:39

    "I take the institution extremely seriously," Gwyneth said of marriage at the time, clearly

  • 03:44

    giddy about their upcoming nuptials.

  • 03:46

    "There are no divorces in my family either – and in his either, so this is not something

  • 03:52

    – we've been together for quite some time, so this is not a rash decision."

  • 03:57

    The two were so smitten they even prioritized time together over their film schedules.

  • 04:02

    They made sure that they weren't making movies at the same time so that they would both have

  • 04:05

    breaks in between filming to make time for their relationship.

  • 04:09

    "It's too difficult to be separated, it really is."

  • 04:13

    Gwen explained.

  • 04:15

    Unfortunately, it seemed like Brad's proposal was the downfall of their relationship.

  • 04:20

    It wasn't much later that their blissful romance suddenly began to unravel.

  • 04:24

    The pressure of getting married felt like too much for Gwen.

  • 04:26

    She was only twenty-five years old after all, and she began to feel like she was too young

  • 04:30

    to settle down.

  • 04:31

    "I think I was a kid and I wasn't ready.

  • 04:33

    He was too good for me I honestly do think, I was too young and didn't know what I was

  • 04:38

    doing."

  • 04:39

    The actress confessed.

  • 04:40

    "I'm so lucky that I spent time with Brad, somebody who was such a good person!"

  • 04:44

    she said, as reported by ABC News.

  • 04:47

    "Especially when I was, like, such a mess…

  • 04:50

    My kind of internal stuff really tripped up that whole relationship.

  • 04:53

    And I felt really responsible, and also like I was the architect of my own misery.

  • 04:57

    … I just made a big mess out of it…

  • 04:59

    I was very upset for a long, long time."

  • 05:03

    The Contagion actress discussed her former beau years later on Howard Stern's Sirius

  • 05:07

    XM show, with nothing but praise for Pitt.

  • 05:10

    "I definitely fell in love with him," she recalled of Pitt in 2015, according to Us

  • 05:14

    Weekly.

  • 05:15

    "He was so gorgeous and sweet.

  • 05:17

    I mean, he was Brad Pitt!"

  • 05:19

    She felt like she was too young to make the big decision of becoming someone's wife and

  • 05:22

    later admitted that it wasn't until she was in her forties that she got, quote, "my head

  • 05:27

    out of my ass."

  • 05:28

    Gwen also explained that their relationship 'wasn't healthy,' adding that certain things

  • 05:32

    happened between the two of them that made her 'hate' herself.

  • 05:36

    Rumors had also begun to circulate that Gwen had cheated on Brad with her Sliding Doors

  • 05:40

    co-star John Hannah.

  • 05:42

    And while Gwyneth never weighed in on the gossip, she did take the blame for the toxic

  • 05:46

    split and the 'darkest moment of it.'

  • 05:48

    "My kind of internal stuff really tripped up that whole relationship and I felt really

  • 05:52

    responsible and also like I was the architect of my own misery and I just made a big mess

  • 05:57

    out of it," she admitted.

  • 05:59

    Brad's long-time friend Jean Black claimed Gwen's behavior had also raised a lot of red

  • 06:04

    flags.

  • 06:05

    "I think there were a lot of things that made Brad feel as if Gwyneth wasn't ready for marriage,"

  • 06:09

    she shared.

  • 06:10

    Following the couple's split, Gwen was so distraught that she refused to work and almost

  • 06:14

    missed out on her Oscar-winning role in Shakespeare In Love.

  • 06:17

    She shared in an interview, "It really changed my life.

  • 06:20

    When we split up, something changed permanently in me.

  • 06:23

    My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same."

  • 06:27

    She added that because she was still in the middle of the 'terrible' breakup, the idea

  • 06:30

    of being away from home was too difficult.

  • 06:32

    At first, she didn't even read the script, explaining, "I was just like, 'I can't read

  • 06:37

    anything right now.

  • 06:38

    I'm having a really hard time.'"

  • 06:40

    Gwen also revealed that she "could not eat.

  • 06:43

    I was really skinny," after her breakup with Brad.

  • 06:46

    And she wasn't the only Paltrow that was devastated by their breakup.

  • 06:58

    The actress admitted that her father was also devastated when they broke up because he had

  • 07:01

    loved him like his own son.

  • 07:03

    The following year Brad went on to meet Jennifer Aniston while Gwyneth dated Ben Affleck before

  • 07:08

    marrying Coldplay's Chris Martin in 2003 and had two children.

  • 07:12

    Neither of their first marriages didn't work out, and Brad ended up having another failed

  • 07:16

    marriage with Angelina Jolie.

  • 07:18

    However, it seems like Gwen finally found happiness with her second husband, Glee producer

  • 07:23

    Brad Falchuck .

  • 07:24

    The lovebirds tied the knot in 2018, and the romance was something that took Gwen completely

  • 07:29

    by surprise.

  • 07:30

    She didn't think she'd ever get remarried because she had her kids and didn't think

  • 07:34

    she needed anything more than that.

  • 07:35

    "And then I met this incredible man, who made me think, no, this person is worth making

  • 07:41

    this commitment to.

  • 07:42

    I'm very much the marrying kind."

  • 07:44

    She gushed about her new husband.

  • 07:47

    The couple also had quite the unconventional living arrangement, only moving in together

  • 07:51

    a year into their marriage.

  • 07:53

    But it seemed like Gwen had a good reason for it.

  • 07:55

    She wanted to give her kids and Falchuck's kids time to get used to all the change and

  • 07:59

    integrate their family over time.

  • 08:17

    But the actress wasted no time to gush over her new hubby and how happy he makes her.

  • 08:22

    "I adore my husband.

  • 08:24

    He's brilliant and deeply kind.

  • 08:26

    I feel like he's a real equal too.

  • 08:28

    And he pushes me in the best ways.

  • 08:29

    I really like being married.

  • 08:31

    It's fun."

  • 08:32

    And of course, like any social media active couple, they've kept all their fans updated

  • 08:37

    with cute pics and swooning captions.

  • 08:38

    For his 50th birthday, Gwen celebrated with a candid selfie of the pair.

  • 08:43

    "Happy 50th birthday @bradfalchuk.

  • 08:45

    I just want to be with you, always, at least for the next 50."

  • 08:50

    She captioned.

  • 08:51

    While Pitt and Paltrow weren't able to make things work out, they definitely made their

  • 08:54

    mark in Hollywood history as one of the most iconic - and good-looking - to ever grace

  • 08:59

    the red carpet.

  • 09:00

    They won our hearts with their boundless love and epic fashion statements, so all we can

  • 09:04

    do is thank them for the memories.

  • 09:06

    We're so glad that Gwen was able to find happiness with her true love, and we can only wish the

  • 09:11

    very same thing for Brad Pitt.
