Gwyneth Paltrow Explains Why She and Her Husband Have Separate Homes

In late September, Gwyneth Paltrow married TV producer Brad Falchuk at her home in Amagansett, New York. 

Since tying the knot, Paltrow and Falchuk have been living a lifestyle that isn’t synonymous with a married couple. The two have separate homes—not far from one another—where they spend three nights a week apart. 

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Paltrow spoke about how their peers have been outwardly supportive of their unorthodox relationship. “All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn’t change a thing,” she said, adding that her intimacy teacher/sex expert Michaela Boehm co-signed the idea. 

Paltrow’s approach to marriage is consistent with how she handles various aspects of relationships in ways that could be considered outside the norm. In 2016, Paltrow and her then-husband Chris Martin announced their separation with the term “conscious uncoupling.” 

Paltrow’s relationship with Martin has since remained strong, especially since the two have a daughter, Apple, and son, Moses, together. Even after her marriage to Falchuk, she embarked on what she calls a “very modern honeymoon” which included their kids, and the Coldplay frontman’s girlfriend Dakota Johnson. Paltrow reassures The Times that they’re all “totally friends.”
