During an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Gwyneth Paltrow shared with host Alex Cooper that her and Pitt's connection was instantaneous, and the pair got engaged after just two years of dating one another.
Paltrow revealed that she was the one to eventually call off the engagement, as she didn't feel clear about what she wanted and she wasn't ready to make the commitment to a marriage. Paltrow told Cooper: "There were a number of things that had happened, he was nine years older than me so he was far more ... he knew what he wanted, he was ready to do it and I was kind of all over the place, so it was really one of those difficult things ..."
Paltrow described the breakup as being hard and feeling heartbroken after the split, but knowing it was the right thing to do. Years after their breakup, the couple managed to reconnect and rekindle a friendship (via People).
