Gwyneth Paltrow sitting down with Howard Stern? Well that's an odd pairing!

But odd pairing or not --the leggy blonde had a sit down with the shock jock on his SiriusXM radio show and got pretty candid about some topics we didn't think she'd dish about -- Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and everyone's favorite term to mock: "consciously uncoupling"!

In the interview, the mom of two talked about her three-year relationship with superstar Brad Pitt, whom she met when she was 22. "I definitely fell in love with him. He was so gorgeous and sweet. I mean, he was Brad Pitt!"

The Oscar winner also said that her late director-father, Bruce Paltrow, was heartbroken by their 1997 split. "My father was devastated. I was such a kid, I was 22 when we met. It's taken me until 40 to get my head out of my ass. You can't make that decision when you're 22 years old... I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me." She told Stern, "I didn't know what I was doing."

Paltrow also addressed her high-profile, three-year relationship with Ben Affleck, saying, "He was not in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend." Sounds like someone wasn't a very good boyfriend!

Chris Martin's ex also admitted her supportive parents wasn't so devastated by that break up, saying, "I think they appreciated how he's super intelligent and he's really talented and funny. They loved him, but they were okay with us not being together."

And of course when the Stern asked the actress, who is currently promoting her new crime caper Mortdecai, about using that oh-so infamous term, "conscious uncoupling," when she announced her split with the Coldplay frontman via Goop in March.

Paltrow said, "I made a mistake ... I didn't give it context. But it is a goofy term."

Yes. Yes it is. We are glad she's finally seeing the error of her ways.
