Gwyneth Paltrow says Ben Affleck is 'technically excellent' at sex

Gwyneth Paltrow has said that ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck is ‘technically excellent’ when it comes to sex. So, good news for JLo then, I guess?

The Iron Man star opened up about her sex life on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she shared some pretty intimate information about her previous high-profile lovers.

Paltrow, 50, dated her Seven co-star Brad Pitt back in 1994 with the pair even getting engaged - however, it wasn’t meant to be and the couple split in 1997.

The same year, Paltrow met Affleck and they began a three-year relationship. But, that also wasn’t built to last and they called it quits in 2000.

Paltrow later found love with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and they tied the knot in 2003. They went on to have a couple of kids - Apple and Moses - but they decided to ‘consciously uncouple’, or ‘split up’ as you might call it, in 2016.

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper prompted Paltrow to choose either Pitt or Affleck in a number of categories.

She couldn’t choose who was the best kisser, saying that they were both good.

But when pressed on who was better in bed, she said: “That is really hard. Because Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind... and then Ben was, like, technically excellent.”

I’d settle for being called ‘technically excellent’ in most situations, to be fair. So good on you, Ben.

After making the shock revelation, she added: "I can't believe my daughter is listening to this." Not just your daughter, love. It’s a very popular podcast.

The Goop founder was then invited to play a game of ‘F**k, Marry, Kill’ featuring her famous ex-partners - nothing awkward about that, eh?

After considering it, she decided that she’d have sex with Pitt, re-marry Martin, meaning things don’t look good for poor old Affleck.

“Ben, yeah, God bless him,” she added.

To add further salt to his wounds, Paltrow also said that she reckoned Pitt was the better actor out of the pair.

“They're both so talented,” she began. “And Ben is a great writer and director. But I guess I would probably have to say acting alone, Brad.

"Because if you think of all the different roles that he's done… Ben is great too. They're both great."

She also said Affleck was funnier, whereas Pitt was better dressed and more romantic.
