Gwyneth Paltrow shared her regrets on ‘The Goop Podcast’
The latest episode of “The Goop Podcast” had Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Brad Falchuk, confessing their regrets over living apart after marriage. The couple revealed that they made a mistake in the first year after tying the knot in 2018. Back then, they had decided not to move in together with their children for a year. Falchuk called this choice a “little bit different.”
Paltrow’s husband then asked her whether she would do that again if they could go back in time. She made an honest admission: “I don’t think so”, the actor responded. She claimed that they thought they were “doing the right thing” by deciding to wait before blending their families. The “Iron Man” star maintained that their plan was to “kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly, and get everybody on board.”
Following this, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she believes it just “prolonged” the uncertainty for everyone. She asked Brad Falchuk for his thoughts, who echoed similar sentiments, agreeing with the podcast host. He also reflected that it “gives the kids too much power,” as if they were the deciding factor in keeping two adults from moving in together. The “Glee” creator suggested it made them “uncomfortable”, and made them feel their marriage wasn’t stable.
Paltrow agreed with Falchul’s remarks. She confirmed that they could have approached matters differently. Looking back, Paltrow shared her experience of blending their two families together. The entrepreneur revealed that “love,” “intellectualizing,” “bartering,” and “compromising” have been the answers to navigating their mixed family.
