Gwyneth Paltrow Jokes About Nikki Glaser’s Ben Affleck Flirt

Paltrow Teases Glaser About Her Taste In Men

Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t afraid to call things like she sees them—especially when it comes to her ex-boyfriends. During a recent episode of The Goop Podcast, she roasted comedian Nikki Glaser for trying to match with Ben Affleck on the celebrity dating app Raya.

Glaser admitted it with zero hesitation. She confessed to tapping Affleck’s profile with “concentrated intensity,” hoping to score a match with the two-time Oscar winner. Unfortunately for her, Affleck never clicked back.

Gwyneth Paltrow Keeps It Lighthearted

Gwyneth Paltrow dated Ben Affleck from 1997 to 2000 and has remained candid about their time together. She once called him “technically excellent” in bed during a game of Marry, F**, Kill* last year. Still, she had no problem laughing with Glaser over her attempts to swipe into Affleck’s love life.

The two joked back and forth without a hint of awkwardness. Paltrow casually dropped the bomb that she knew Glaser had a thing for her ex, and Glaser owned up to it like a champ.

Affleck wasn’t the only Hollywood star Nikki Glaser tried to connect with. She also confessed to giving Andrew Garfield repeated thumbs-ups on the app. But just like Affleck, the Spider-Man star never matched with her.

Glaser joked that Garfield must’ve seen her profile before she had work done. She even referenced Dr. Jason Diamond, a well-known Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, implying the timing just wasn’t in her favor.

No Hard Feelings Between The Women

Despite the candid revelations, the vibe between Gwyneth Paltrow and Nikki Glaser remained playful and supportive. Glaser clearly admired Affleck and was curious about the attraction. Paltrow, now happily married to Brad Falchuk, didn’t seem to mind one bit.

The interaction gave listeners a glimpse into the relaxed and often hilarious tone of Paltrow’s Goop podcast, where even topics like celebrity crushes and past lovers are open for discussion.
