Gwyneth Paltrow has said that she is a "big fan" of Brad Pitt and that she "adores" her former fiancé.
Paltrow and Pitt dated in the 90s and became engaged in 1996. The couple parted ways later that year.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Paltrow shared that when the couple first decided to end their relationship, they weren't on friendly terms, but found their "way back" a few years later.
The Oscar-winning actress said: "When we first broke up, we weren't friends for a while and then we sort of found our way back, probably about 18 or 19 years ago, something like that, and then just kind of stayed in touch over the years.
Paltrow added: "I adore him. He's an amazing person, and he's a great entrepreneur, and such a creative, and such a good person. I really love him. I'm a big fan."
Paltrow who is now married to Brad Falchuk also revealed that her husband "totally respects" the friendship she has with Pitt.
She said: "Probably one of the things that he likes about me is that I believe in conscious uncoupling.
"Whether you're uncoupling with a coworker, a spouse, a boyfriend, I really do believe that if you've invested in somebody - and of course there are exceptions - to amputate that relationship ... maybe you're not then fully letting the full lesson reveal itself and the healing happen.
"So even though sometimes it can be uncomfortable, I think it's nice to work through it and reconnect with the value that that person brought to your life."
Paltrow is mother to Apple and Moses with ex-husband Chris Martin while Falchuk is father to Isabella and Brody with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.
