How it Ended

The relationship between Paltrow and Affleck ended in 2000 after about three years together. The breakup was amicable, with both acknowledging that their differences were too significant to overcome. Paltrow later described Affleck as a good person but admitted they were not meant to be together long-term.

They remained friendly, occasionally crossing paths in the entertainment industry, as would be expected for two high-profile actors. Both moved on to other high-profile relationships, with Paltrow marrying Chris Martin and having two children, Apple and Moses Martin.
