The pair, who got engaged, later broke up in 1997 before they made it to the altar.

"I had a lot of development to do, looking back in hindsight," she reflected on the podcast.

"In a lot of ways, I didn't really fully start to come into myself until I was 40 years old."

Paltrow told host Alexandra Cooper she was utterly heartbroken when they split.

"It was the right thing at that time, but it was really hard," she said.

Paltrow said both Affleck — her Shakespeare in Love and Bounce co-star with whom she had an off-on relationship from 1997 to 2000 — and Pitt were great kissers and she found it difficult to rate who was superior in bed.

"Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time," Paltrow said.

They divorced in 2016 and two years later she married TV producer Brad Falchuk.

In a game of F---, Marry, Kill on the podcast, Paltrow said she'd marry Martin again when given the choice between him, Pitt and Affleck.

"I think Brad," Paltrow said of who she would sleep with again of the trio, leaving Affleck for the "kill".
