Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk Reveal Their One Regret Early in Their Marriage

The Goop founder sat down with the "Glee" creator on her podcast and reflected on their decision to live apart during their first year of marriage in an archived episode.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, and Brad Falchuk, 54, are getting candid about their relationship. The couple opened up about their choice to live separately during the first year of their marriage in an archived episode of "The Goop Podcast" released Tuesday, September 9.

Paltrow admitted she regretted the decision and said that if she could go back, she wouldn't make it again. "I think at the time, we really felt like we were doing the right thing," she shared. "We were trying to kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly and get everybody on board."

"But I'm not sure that it didn't just prolong that thing of like, we don't know what we're doing. What do you think?" she asked Falchuk. The director agreed with Paltrow, saying they had made the decision for the sake of their kids.

Paltrow shares two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with her ex-husband Chris Martin. Falchuk also has two kids, Isabella, 21, and Brody, 18, whom he welcomed with his ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik.

The series creator said he thought the decision to live apart gave their children "too much power." "I think them having agency is really important," he reflected. "But power, to actually keep these two adults from living together? I think it made them more uncomfortable and more like, 'OK, this is not something that is solid.'"

Although the couple, who married in 2018 after four years of dating, agreed that they could have done things differently, they acknowledged that their blended family was in a much better place.
