Gwyneth Paltrow slammed as 'insufferable' after admission about how she educated Brad Pitt during their relationship
The 52-year-old actress and Goop founder dated the F1: The Movie actor, 61, from 1994 until they called off their engagement in 1997.
In the new biography about her life, Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell, one chapter reveals how Gwyneth started to question her relationship with Brad during the filming of the Jane Austen adaptation Emma in 1996.
According to People magazine, she expressed her doubts to one crew member and admitted that she had a crush on Hugh Grant instead.
As per the publication, 'Brad and I had very different upbringings,' she told an interviewer.
'So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra.''
Social media users on Reddit have hit out at her remarks about her time with Brad, with one branding her as 'insufferable.'
'Classic classist snob with no taste, no humor,' another said. 'Please educate us more on the differences between caviar and keep preaching about how to not eat.'
A third agreed and added: 'She is exhausting.'
But others weren't totally put off as one admitted: 'I'd actually read this book lol.'
Nepo baby Gwyneth is the daughter of movie producer Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner.
Gwyneth and Brad never publicly explained the exact reason for their 1997 breakup.
However, Odell's sources recalled rumors that it might have been linked to Gwyneth's alleged fling with her Sliding Doors co-star John Hannah.
Reflecting on the split in a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, she admitted: 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.'
Following her relationship with Brad, she went on to date Ben Affleck.
She would eventually go on to wed Coldplay front man, Chris Martin, whom she married in 2003.
The pair, who split in 2016, are parents to daughter, Apple, born in May 2004, and a son, Moses, born in April 2006.
In March, Gwyneth spoke highly of her romance with Brad, whom she worked with on the film Seven.
'He's a very intriguing character,' she said, before comparing him to a royal.
'It's like having dated, I don't know, Prince William or something. That's always going to come up.'
Brad is now dating jewelry executive Ines de Ramon after divorcing Angelina Jolie, while Gwyneth is married to producer Brad Falchuk.

That '70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama welcomes second child with longtime fiancee
That '70s Show alum Wilmer Valderrama has welcomed baby number two with his fiancee Amanda Pacheco - and shared adorable photos of the newborn to Instagram on Saturday. The actor, 45 - who excitedly announced in February that another child was on the way - already shares daughter Nakano Oceana, four, with his partner. In the joint post uploaded over the weekend, Wilmer could be seen holding the newborn - and also revealed the name and gender of the little one. The carousel of sweet snaps were captioned with: 'Wolf Monte Valderrama 7/11/2025,' followed by a wolf and moon emoji. In one black and white image, the star gently carried his baby boy while flashing a cheerful smile. Valderrama also posed for additional pictures with Amanda as they both held the little one. Their daughter happily embraced her new role as big sister and also held Wolf who was swaddled in a blanket. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wilmer Valderrama (@wilmervalderrama) Social media users jumped to the comment section to share congratulatory messages to Wilmer and his family. One penned, 'Congratulations. He is so adorable,' while another typed out, 'OMG!! Congratulations!! He is absolutely beautiful.' 'Congrats!!! Welcome Baby Wolf,' a follower wrote, and one also shared, 'So happy for you guys!! Beautiful!!!' Another expressed, 'So so so happy for you brother!!! What a blessing!' while TV personality Drew Scott added an array of red heart emojis. Back in February, Wilmer and Amanda announced that baby number two was on the way and opened up about their growing family during an interview with People. While the couple shared their excitement over the news, they also revealed that their daughter was eager to become a big sister. 'She's been manifesting this for months before I found out I was even pregnant!' Amanda told the outlet at the time. 'Telling my family that she was going to be a big sister by going to the store and asking to buy the tiny balloons at the check out stand that say "It's a girl!"' Pacheco added, 'Mind you, we still don't know the gender of the baby, but if it was up to her, she'd love to have a baby sister.' The actor also joined in on the conversation and said fatherhood has given him 'a sense of purpose that is hard to describe.' The NCIS star continued, 'Like you could in fact lift a car if you had to. Personally, being a girl dad has been the most fulfilling feeling. 'As an artist, it has also fueled me to make sure she has so many stories in which she sees herself as the hero of her journey! All in all, I was born to be a dad!' He later talked about what he sees for his family's future and expressed that there will be 'more unicorn birthdays, more toys on the floor, to finish two half eaten burritos because that would make one whole one. 'Hearing "Hola papá" twice when I walk in the door and giving our parents more babysitting hours because that's is the grandparent life! All in all, I look forward to laughs and memories.' Wilmer and Amanda were first romantically linked in 2019 and the star popped the big question in 2020 on New Year's Day. The following year, the lovebirds welcomed their first child - a daughter named Nakano Oceana. During an interview with Parents, Valderrama recalled first falling for Pacheco and said he had felt 'a gravitational pull' towards her. 'There was just something about her that told me I needed to know this person,' the actor added. As the couple have fully embraced parenthood, they explained that they also prioritize communication between each other. 'I think that's a testament to us. They tell you, "It's all about the baby," but when you're both with the baby, you can forget about each other. The baby is our priority,' Wilmer said. He then told Amanda - who was also joined in on the interview - 'But, you are mine too.' Wilmer is known for portraying the character of Fez on the hit series That '70s Show - which aired from 1998 through 2006. The cast of the teen sitcom also included Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, and Laura Prepon. After his time on the show came to an end, Valderrama went on to take on roles in other projects such as Grey's Anatomy and Disney's Handy Many. Since 2016, he has been playing Special Agent Nick Torres in NCIS.

EXCLUSIVE Worrying sign Aaron and Denise's marriage was toxic as insider reveals what it was really like on their reality show
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' divorce took a disturbing turn this week when the Hollywood icon shared in a court filing a shocking photo of her black eye, alleging that her estranged husband was physically abusive throughout the entire span of their relationship. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 54, requested a temporary restraining order from Phypers, 52, after detailing graphic instances of alleged abuse in a court-ordered protection filed Thursday and granted the same day. Her estranged husband has since denied all allegations of abuse, while a source close to Phypers told the Daily Mail that her black eye was actually the result of a drunken fall. However, it seems the former couple's marriage was plagued with red flags years before Phypers filed for divorce. According to insiders who worked on Richards' reality TV series, Phypers had a 'manipulative' tendency to act supportive of his wife on camera, only to turn against her once filming wrapped. During their short-lived Bravo reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things – which also starred her daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13 – the couple would act 'intense' and 'passive aggressive' towards each other, so much so they'd even go on their phones in separate rooms when cameras were down. 'You could cut tension with a knife sometimes,' one source told the Daily Mail. Filming the show was made especially difficult the morning after one of their fights, as Richards and Phypers 'wouldn't speak to each other off camera' and if they did, there was always an edge. The insider recalled one moment in which Richards had flubbed a scene, and Phypers responded by shaking his head and muttering 'menopause' under his breath. It was Phypers' belittling comments towards his wife that made crew members particularly uncomfortable, the source said. Although the businessman had 'decided that his character was going to be very supportive of Denise' on camera, they explained that his demeanor off camera was anything but. In fact, they said he appeared to be 'very threatened' by her success and stardom, as if he was 'trying to prove that he was superior' to his wife. After all, it was Richards who was the Hollywood icon, and she had already served two seasons on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 'Aaron walked around as if he was the biggest star on the planet when we were filming,' a second source told the Daily Mail. Their intense dynamic was on display in a chilling clip from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that has resurfaced in the wake of Richards' abuse allegations. During the unsettling incident from season 10, which was filmed in 2020, Phypers was caught threatening Richards following a confrontation with her co-stars Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp. The hot mic moment caught Richards telling her partner not to 'say a f*****g word' as they walked off hand-in-hand following the dispute, to which Phypers responded: 'Don't tell me what to say. I'm going to crush your f*****g hand. Stop it.' Richards departed from the series following season ten, though she made several cameos in later seasons. Her spin-off show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, premiered on Bravo in March this year but ended after one season. In her court filing obtained by the Daily Mail, Richards claimed that her estranged husband's father had joined in on the alleged abuse during a July 4 confrontation at her temporary residence. She claimed that Phypers had showed up at her studio townhouse, where she was staying after moving out of their shared home in late 2023, and demanded her phone. 'He called me a 'c*** w****' multiple times and violently hit the bill of my hat with the back of his hand, causing it to fly off my head,' Richards said. She said his father, Steven Phypers, joined in – yelling that he would tell the media she was a 'w****' and expose the contents of her phone. Richards added in the court document that she was 'scared, terrified and fearful for my life.' Among the allegations in her request for a retraining order included claims that Phypers regularly threatened to choke her, squeeze her head and arms with both arms, 'violently slap me in my face and head' and allegedly 'threaten to kill' her. The most recent instances allegedly occurred between July 4 and July 14. In a statement to the Daily Mail, Phypers addressed Richards' allegations of abuse, calling them 'completely false and deeply hurtful'. 'I want to address recent rumors and speculation that have surfaced regarding my relationship with my wife, Denise Richards,' he said. 'Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise – or anyone. 'These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. 'I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.'

The real victims of cheating couple's viral betrayal are their spouses and children
The Astronomer CEO and his HR boss whose affair was exposed on a 'kiss camera' at a Coldplay concert both appeared to be living perfect family lives before the scandal sources have claimed. Tech tycoon Andy Byron, 50, resigned from his role after footage of him with his arms wrapped around Astronomer's HR chief Kristin Cabot, 52, were seen. The co-workers were caught at the Coldplay concert in Boston, Massachusetts on July 16. Coldplay front man Chris Martin then cracked a joke which stirred rumors over the pair's awkward reaction and sent the Internet into a frenzy. 'Oh look at these two! Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy,' Martin said to the crowd. On Friday, after the video had gained millions of views on social media, New York-based Artificial Intelligence firm Astronomer addressed the viral moment and launched a 'formal investigation'. The company then announced the CEO's resignation on Saturday, saying: 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' The scandal has torpedoed the lives of Mr Byron and Ms Cabot, but the real victims are their respective partners, Megan Kerrigan and Andrew Cabot, who appeared to be living the American dream in huge suburban homes. Ms Kerrigan appears to have deleted joyful family photos with Mr Byron and their sons on Facebook. Among the photos she had posted was one of the family smiling on a hiking trip and at a graduation for one of the boys. In the hiking photo, the parents and their two children all have their arms around each other as they grin to the camera - all wearing caps - in front of a creek. And in the graduation snap, Mr Byron and his two sons are dressed smartly in suits with Ms Kerrigan wearing a dress for the milestone moment. One of the sons is wearing his graduation gown and a mortarboard. The photo was used as Ms Kerrigan's Facebook cover photo until she first removed 'Byron' from her name and then deleted her entire profile on Thursday, wiping all of the pictures she had posted, the New York Post reports. The outlet reports that Ms Cabot, meanwhile, is married to the CEO of an alcohol firm - and bought a $2.2million home in the seaside town of Rye, New Hampshire, with him less than five months ago. It is unclear exactly when the pair tied the knot, but documents confirm that Ms Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, was married at the time of selling a $1.8million property in Watertown, Mass, earlier this year. Property records show that the husband and wife purchased the two-story, four bedroom house in February. She has also shared a second home in the same town with her husband - the head of Privateer Rum - since at least 2023, according to the records. The Massachusetts-based company described Mr Cabot as its CEO and COO, adding that his 'ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.' Public documents show that he has been married at least twice before, in 1993 and 2014. He shares two children with his first wife Maud, who shared a picture of her ex-husband with Cabot looking loved up at his daughters 25th birthday party on social media in April of last year. Ms Cabot even posed with his son Henry, 30, in the snaps, and was seen wearing a wedding ring at the event - which was missing during her cozy Coldplay date with Byron. Ms Cabot's LinkedIn profile showed that she has been an 'advisory board member' for her husband's company since 2020, but she has now deleted her account. Astronomer was also a booming company before the scandal hit. In May, the company secured $93million in Series D funding from backers including Bain Capital, Salesforce, Venrock and Meritech. All over: Astronomer announced the CEO's resignation on Saturday following an internal investigation that put Byron and Cabot on leave on Friday Mr Byron's firm is valued at over $1billion, with the company experiencing rapid growth since he became CEO in 2023. The billion-dollar company announced the CEO's resignation in a statement on Saturday. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the statement said. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will stay on as interim CEO. Astronomer acknowledge the awkward situation in the statement announcing Byron's resignation. 'Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI,' the statement read. 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.'
