NEW YORK, July 22 (UPI) -- Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed what her longtime friend, famous chef Mario Batali, thinks about her Hollywood exes Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

"He was just teasing me about every boyfriend I brought to [Batali's restaurant] Babbo over the years," the actress mentioned during an intimate dinner at Batali's new Manhattan food spot La Sirena according to Vanity Fair.

"He liked Brad Pitt, if you want to know. Didn't like Ben Affleck that much," she continued.

Famously, Paltrow and Pitt dated for over two years and were even engaged at one point before calling it off in 1997. Afterwards, the 43-year-old dated Affleck off and on in the late '90s before the relationship officially came to a close in 2000.

Previously, Paltrow had mentioned to Howard Stern that Affleck was "super intelligent and really, really talented but that he "wasn't in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend."

Paltrow made no mention of what Batali thought of ex-husband Chris Martin. The pair finalized their divorce recently, two years after their split.
