The ‘breaking point' that shattered Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's friendship
Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's friendship 'breaking point' is revealed in a forthcoming book about the Goop founder, titled Gwyneth: The Biography.
'Their relationship reached a breaking point when Madonna showed up to an island where Gwyneth and [Chris] Martin were vacationing,' author Amy Odell alleges in the book set to be released on July 29, per People.
'Madonna seemed to know that Gwyneth would be there, which Gwyneth seemed to find strange,' a friend told the writer.
According to Odell, the Material Girl songstress, 66, insisted that the couple, who were married from 2003 to 2016, join her for dinner.
At the dinner table, Madonna allegedly 'went off on her daughter Lourdes,' making Paltrow, 52, and Martin, 48, 'disgusted by [her] behaviour.'

'I can't be around this woman anymore,' the Coldplay frontman allegedly told his then-wife. 'She's awful.'
The Iron Man star allegedly agreed with Martin and cut ties with Madonna.
Reps for the trio weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment.

'Everything I have gone through, she went through ten times worse and ten times longer,' Paltrow shared in 2006, per Us Weekly.
'She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself.'
In 2009, an insider told Page Six that the Marvel star was moving away from her relationship and spending more time on double dates with Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

'Gwyneth's kids call him 'Uncle Jay,' and she and Chris were special guests at Jay-Z's wedding,' an insider told us, referring to Paltrow and Martin's children: Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.
In 2010, a source told Us Weekly that Madonna and Paltrow 'don't speak' anymore, though no further details were disclosed.
That same year, the actress confirmed via an interview that her personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, no longer worked with Madonna.
They haven't been photographed together since.

Inside Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' ‘intense' off-camera relationship before shocking abuse claims: report
Don't miss out on the headlines from Reality. Followed categories will be added to My News. Denise Richards was allegedly involved in a 'manipulative' and 'intense' off-camera relationship with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, while filming Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. 'You could cut tension with a knife sometimes,' an insider claimed to the Daily Mail on Sunday, explaining that the exes were 'passive-aggressive' with each other and would go into separate rooms when the cameras stopped rolling. According to the source, allegedly filming the duo the morning after a night of fighting was difficult because they 'wouldn't speak to each other off camera' despite appearing supportive on TV, reports Page Six. Richards appeared on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Picture: Instagram Phypers popped up regularly on the show. Picture: Instagram The insider claimed Richards, 54, once messed up a scene and Phypers allegedly said, 'Menopause.' The businessman's alleged comments toward the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum made the crew uncomfortable, the source claimed. Per the source, Phypers, 52, appeared 'very threatened' by his estranged wife's success and was allegedly 'trying to prove that he was superior.' 'Aaron walked around as if he was the biggest star on the planet when we were filming,' another source told the outlet. Reps for Richards and Phypers did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. While Richards and Phypers put on a united front for their audience, their tense relationship was previously shown on a season ten episode of RHOBH. A resurfaced clip showed the TV personality and Phypers holding hands, as she warned him not to 'say a f**king word.' 'Don't tell me what to say. I'm going to crush your f**king hand. Stop it,' he aggressively responded. Insiders have spilled on the tension between the pair behind the scenes. Picture: Instagram News broke earlier this month that Phypers filed for divorce from Richards after six years of marriage. At the time, an insider told the outlet that the duo 'have been having trouble for some time' and those close to them saw it coming. Richards has since accused Phypers of abuse and was granted a temporary restraining order against him after alleging he threatened to kill her and himself if she reported him to police, per court documents obtained by Page Six. The Bravo alum also alleged that her ex gave her a black eye in 2022. Phypers, however, denied the allegations, telling People that the allegations were 'completely false and deeply hurtful.' He also accused Richards of infidelity. This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission.

Gwyneth Paltrow's favourite X-rated act with former flame
Gwyneth Paltrow's forthcoming biography has not been released, yet it's already unearthed several salacious treasures previously buried deep in the actor's past. Penned by bestselling British author Amy Odell, Gwyneth: The Biography — set to drop in Australia on August 5 — promises to take fans behind the scenes of the A-Lister's last thirty years in the spotlight. According to Odell, who clawed her way into 215 of the actor's relationships in pursuit of dirt, the actor revealed to her make-up artist Kevyn Aucion that she enjoyed partaking in one particular sex act with former flame Ben Affleck. 'It was the ribald side of her that her friends knew well but that the public didn't see,' Odell writes, according to Page Six. 'She told Kevyn Aucoin in his London hotel room one day after lunch that she loved when Affleck 'tea-b****d' her.'

'Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her,' Odell writes. But the Good Will Hunting star's alleged vices were not the only signs of foreboding, with sources telling the author he didn't show her enough affection. Odell adds, 'He at times seemed more interested in playing video games with the guys at his house than being with Gwyneth.'

In 2016, she told outlet Self that she was conscious of not losing her sexuality in a busy world. 'We have this idea that you can't be a mother and a businesswoman and like to have sex!' she said.

'Like, 'Gwyneth has sex? Really?' It doesn't seem to go together. But I think it's important, as mothers and as women contributing to society in whatever way we each are, that our true sexuality doesn't get lost or put aside,' she added. In 2021, the star created Netflix series Sex, Love & Goop which followed sexually frustrated couples seeking to reinvigorate their relationships.

The sex act Gwyneth Paltrow loved performing with Ben Affleck revealed
That's some piping-hot tea. Page Six exclusively learned the sex act Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly enjoyed with her then-boyfriend Ben Affleck — but we're choosing not to name it. But those in the know won't be surprised that Affleck was into it; He does love Dunkin'. The Oscar winner revealed the bedroom secret to makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, according to author Amy Odell in the forthcoming book 'Gwyneth: The Biography.' 'It was the ribald side of her that her friends knew well but that the public didn't see,' Odell writes. 'She told Kevyn Aucoin in his London hotel room one day after lunch that she loved when Affleck 'tea-b****d' her.' How do you like them apples? Reps for Paltrow and Affleck did not immediately return Page Six's request for comment. The 'Bounce' co-stars, both 52, dated from 1997 to 2000, and despite their sizzling attraction, may have split due to infidelity. 'Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her,' Odell writes, explaining that the duo began dating when Affleck was 'struggling with alcoholism and a gambling problem.' The author alleges that Paltrow's friends 'had reservations' about the 'Good Will Hunting' star 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.' Paltrow has not been shy about shilling sexual products or exploring sexuality on Goop. The site famously sold a $75 'This Smells Like My Vagina' candle. After the now-discontinued candle's success, she followed it up with other candles dubbed 'This Smells Like My Orgasm' and 'This Smells Like My Prenup.' In 2023, the actress candidly answered fans' sex questions and revealed that 'generally,' she does not 'lick ass.' The 'Emma' star still looks back fondly on her sexy time with Affleck, calling him a 'technically excellent' lover in a 2023 interview. After their breakup, Paltrow went on to marry Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. They went on to have two children, a daughter, Apple, and a son, Moses, before splitting in 2016. She married producer Brad Falchuk in 2016. The 'Argo' star was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018 and Jennifer Lopez from 2022 to 2025. 'Gwyneth: The Biography' hits shelves on July 29.
