A new Gwyneth Paltrow biography written by Amy Odell gives a new revelation about why her romance with Ben Affleck ended in 2000.
What happened between Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck?
In the forthcoming book Gwyneth: The Biography, it’s explained that the actress, 52, may have been cheated on by the actor, also 52.
An excerpt obtained by People reads: ‘Their physical chemistry couldn’t overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her.’
What attracted Gwyneth Paltrow to Ben Affleck?
According to Odell, after the couple broke up Gwyneth, who was drawn to Ben‘s intellect, said, ‘I love men, even though they’re lying, cheating scumbags.’
It was written that Ben ‘was struggling with alcoholism and a gambling habit,’ throughout their relationship.
According to the biographer, ‘Her friends had reservations about him, because he didn’t always reciprocate her affection.
‘He at times seemed more interested in playing video games with the guys at his house than being with Gwyneth.’
According to Entertainment Tonight, the Goop founder told Howard Stern in 2015 that Affleck was not ‘in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend’ when they were together.
She noted at the time: ‘I think [my parents Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner] appreciated how he’s super intelligent and he’s really, really talented and so funny, but he was not in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend.
‘I think they were OK with the two of us not being together.’
