Gwyneth Paltrow Confirms She’s Thrilled About Ben Affleck & JLo’s Wedding!
During a recent Q&A on her Instagram Story, the Goop founder made headlines by sounding off on Ben Affleck’s latest nuptial with Jennifer Lopez. Here’s what she said and a quick rundown of her own love‑life journey.
Gwyneth’s Heart‑felt Reaction
When asked about “Ben & JLo,” she replied in exuberant, almost cartoon‑style enthusiasm:
- Love!!! So romantic!!!
- Very happy for them.
A quick follow‑up from a fan prompted another “happy?” question, and Gwyneth’s answer stayed consistent: “Very.” She even dropped an adorable selfie of herself with husband Brad Falchuk (who’s been her perfect match since 2018).
Why She Never Marry Ben?
In a candid chat with Howard Stern, Gwyneth reflected on her on‑and‑off romance with Ben, which spanned the late 1990s. She described the relationship as a personal “lesson” – a chance to heal old childhood wounds that perhaps felt too complex for a marriage at the time. The brief quote she shared: “It’s interesting. I think there’s certain boyfriends where you’re trying to work stuff out, right? Like, you’re trying to heal certain stuff from your childhood, and he was very much a lesson in that way. I’m not sure exactly what I was trying to heal, but it was… specific.”
