Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a> is opening up about a decision she and her second husband, Brad Falchuk, wouldn\u2019t make again. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The couple, who have a blended family of four children, spoke about their controversial choice on the latest episode of Paltrow\u2019s Goop podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOne thing we did that was maybe a little bit different was, we got married and then didn\u2019t move in together for a year,\u201d Falchuk said during their joint appearance. \u201cWould you have done the same thing this time \u2015 again?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d Paltrow answered. \u201cI mean, I think at the time, we really felt like we were doing the right thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe were trying to kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly and get everybody on board,\u201d she added. \u201cBut I\u2019m not sure that it didn\u2019t just prolong that thing of like, we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Falchuk felt similarly and said he thought it \u201cjust gives the kids too much power.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhich is the opposite of what you want to do. You want them to have agency, I think,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAgain, as you say, don\u2019t be prescriptive,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think them having agency is really important. But power, to actually keep these two adults from living together? I think it made them more uncomfortable and more like, \u2018OK, this is not something that is solid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Paltrow has often spoken about aspects of her second marriage that she struggled with, including taking on the role of stepparent. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI really like to talk about this because it\u2019s one of my biggest learnings as a human being,\u201d the Goop founder said at a conference in 2024<\/a>, according to People magazine. \u201cAnd my area of growth personally came from the initial difficult relationship I had with my stepkids and now they\u2019re like my kids.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n 20 Years Of<\/span>Free<\/span>Journalism<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
