"Long before she settled down with British rocker husband Chris Martin (they have kids Apple, 6, and Moses, 4), Gwyneth Paltrow was one of Hollywood&amp;apos;s most eligible bachelorettes -- and her beaus included both Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.\r\nIn a new E! special, Gwyneth Paltrow, that aired Wednesday night, the Country Strong star, 38, admits those high-profile, late-90s romances were kind of weird.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It was strange to be part of a public couple,&amp;quot; she says in the interview.\r\nThe profile also reveals that Paltrow&amp;apos;s road to Hollywood wasn&amp;apos;t as easy as some might expect. Although she is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and late director Bruce Paltrow, she didn&amp;apos;t get a free ride while she waited for her big break.\r\n&amp;quot;We could have paid for everything and had a spoiled kid,&amp;quot; mother Danner says. &amp;quot;[But] I think it&amp;apos;s really important for people to work hard.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPaltrow admits: &amp;quot;I would say &amp;apos;Dad, I can&amp;apos;t go out to dinner, I have no money,&amp;apos; and he would say &amp;apos;you&amp;apos;re welcome to come over here and eat at our house anytime, but I&amp;apos;m not giving you money for your social life.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPlus, the star sheds new light on her struggle with post-partum depression following son Moses&amp;apos; birth in 2006.  &amp;quot;You don&amp;apos;t want anybody to know that you&amp;apos;re depressed or crying all the time, &amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s this shame that we bring to it and it&amp;apos;s incredibly debilitating and scary and you just don&amp;apos;t feel like yourself.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
