Inside Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt's relationship
The ex-couple, Gwyneth and Brad, met on the set of Seven and began dating in 1994. In a 1997 interview with Rolling Stone, Brad reflected on his first impression of the actress. He shared that he immediately understood that he liked her. He added that whenever he got closer to Gwyneth, he became nervous and awkward. Later, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gwyneth shared that she didn’t understand that Brad liked her. However, eventually she had a crush on him. She said:
"I wouldn't know if somebody was flirting with me. When Brad and I met, he said it was obvious that he liked me and that I was an idiot. But I had no idea. I thought he was just really friendly. And then I started getting a crush on him. I'm like, 'Are you insane? You can't get a crush on Brad Pitt. Get a hold of yourself.' It's funny to think back on that now. Now it's so different."
In April 1995, the duo traveled to London for a party after the UK premiere of Brad's movie Legends of the Fall. This appearance was one of their first major public appearances together as a couple. In May 1995, Brad defended Gwyneth against Harvey Weinstein. At the time, Gwyneth was starring in Harvey Weinstein's movie Emma and was dating Brad Pitt. While Harvey made a pass at her in a hotel room, Gwyneth felt very uncomfortable and shaken.
The actress immediately told this to her then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt. He was extremely angry and later confronted Harvey Weinstein at the opening of Hamlet on Broadway. The couple had been very supportive of each other. During his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 12 Monkeys in 1996, Brad thanked Gwyneth and said, "especially the love o' my life and my angel, Gwyneth Paltrow."
In a 1996 interview with the LA Times, Gwyneth opened up about her relationship with Brad. The actress shared that she was in a happy relationship. She mentioned that they went on dates and watched movies together. Sometimes, friends came over, and they enjoyed dinner together.
