Pitt lost his head to Paltrow on the set of 1995’s Se7en. From her slip dress top to his frosted tips, they were the epitome of a mid-’90s couple. Brad, who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for 12 Monkeys in 1996, expressed his gratitude to Gwyneth for being the “love of his life,” and proposed to her in December of the same year. At one point, they even had matching hairstyles.
“I take this system very seriously. There’s no divorce in my family, there’s no divorce in his family. We’ve been together for quite some time, so this is not a hasty decision,” Gwyneth told Entertainment Tonight convincingly about the engagement. However, in June 1997 they disbanded.
“When two people shouldn’t be together, they shouldn’t be together,” a defiant Paltrow said in 1998. In 2015 she told Howard Stern: “I was very young. I was 22 when we met. It took me until I was 40 to come to my senses. You can’t make that decision at 22…I wasn’t ready and he was ready.” Too good for me. ”
Additionally, her father, Bruce Paltrow, was “devastated” when the pair split. “My father loved him like a son,” Paltrow eventually said, “I definitely fell in love with him. He was so gorgeous and sweet. I mean, he was Brad Pitt!”
