Relationships with Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck were strange: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted that her previous high-profile relationships with actors Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck were unusual experiences.

Before settling down with British rocker husband Chris Martin, the Country Strong star had quite the dating history in Hollywood.

After she ended her relationship with Pitt, Paltrow dated Affleck for three years from 1997 to 2000.

"It was strange to be part of a public couple," the New York Daily News quoted Paltrow as telling in a new E! True Hollywood special.

Paltrow has now been married to Martin for seven years and has two children with him.
