Lifting the lid on her love life , she described her first husband as a ‘good guy’.
‘You’ve been married two times?’ the host, 50, asked, to which she corrected: ‘Three times.’
‘Oh that’s right, because I forgot that you were married to Ryan Reynolds! Goals,’ Gwyneth laughed.
‘Yes! We weren’t married very long, but we were married when I first met you, for Iron Man or whatever,’ Scarlett explained.
Clearly a fan of the actor, Gwyneth added: ‘We love a good Ryan Reynolds in our house.’
Scarlett simply agreed: ‘He’s a good guy.’
Following their marriage, the He’s Just Not That Into You actress walked down the aisle with Romain Dauriac – who she shares daughter Rose with – in 2014, before tying the knot for the third time with Colin Jost in 2020, .
While Ryan went on to marry Blake Lively in 2012, with the couple .
Elsewhere on the podcast, Gwyneth questioned her guest on how her view on marriage had changed over the years, and what she had learned through the partnerships.
‘It’s funny. I knew Colin for a long time, but only through work. And when we first started seeing other, I would never have probably been ready for a relationship like the one that I have with Colin, at different times in my life,’ she continued.
‘Because I wasn’t comfortable with setting my own boundaries, and I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else.
‘One of the things that I realized is that there are certain fundamental things in your own personality that you need – for me, anyway – I needed to share with the other person.
‘Obviously, it’s hard to be in a relationship anyway because you have to compromise all the time and sometimes your lives separate and come back together,
‘I never realized, “Oh, it’s really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That’s a fundamental characteristic that has to be there”.
‘Understanding what those fundamental things are that you need in a partner is a must – for longevity, anyway.
‘Identifying those things was a game-changer for me.’
‘That’s why it worked with Colin and I at that time,’ she added. ‘I was finally able to step back and actually respect myself enough to know what those things were and be okay with it. That was a life lesson.’
