Paltrow also opened up to Cooper about her relationships with the men they'd discussed, especially Pitt, whom she met while filming David Fincher's "Seven." She said, "We sort of said, 'Hi,' on set, and it was like major, major love at first sight. It was crazy."

However, their relationship was a whirlwind romance, and Pitt soon proposed when Paltrow realized she couldn't marry him. She said, per Insider, "I think I was a kid, like, more so than a lot of 22 or 23 or 24-year-olds I would meet now. I had not explored who I was, what was important to me, and my boundaries. Anything like that."

Paltrow explained to Cooper that she was "totally heartbroken" when she and Pitt ended their relationship. However, she now knows the decision was "just the right thing at that time, but it was tough."
