Or so Gwyneth Paltrow thought.

Paltrow arrived at the same time as her former fiance, Brad Pitt, his companion, Angelina Jolie, and their children.

Their presence has meant more star-hunting photographers than usual, said Paltrow, in the Windy City to promote perfume at a Macy's store.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have brought the media to Chicago, says his former lover Gwyneth Paltrow

"When Brad and Angelina leave, won't they (paparazzi) go, too?" the 34-year-old said.

"Don't you think they sort of blow in and out with the celebs?"

In 2003 the Oscar-winning actress said she loved coming to Chicago "because there's no paparazzi."

Paltrow was staying at The Peninsula Chicago, where the Pitt-Jolie family is living while Jolie films the movie Wanted.

This is not the first time Paltrow has spoken about her former fiance (they split in 1997) and the media whirlwind that follows him and his leading lady.

When Pitt split with former wife Jennifer Aniston in 2005, Paltrow said: "I learned my lesson at 24."

"It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with," she added.
