PALTROWFALCHUK ENGAGED
Academy award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow has confirmed her engagement to producer Brad Falchuk. The couple broke the news in a joint statement, saying, “We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this junction in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship.” The actor has been dating Falchuk for about three years, and reports of their engagement have been swirling for months.
Actor Gwyneth Paltrow, on Monday, announced her engagement to US television producer Brad Falchuk, saying she had decided to give marriage a second shot after accepting “the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities” of intimacy.
Paltrow, 45, who famously described her 2014 separation from her Coldplay frontman husband Chris Martin as a “conscious uncoupling,” confirmed the engagement in an interview for the latest edition of her lifestyle magazine Goop.
“I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it (marriage) a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy,” she said. Paltrow and Falchuk, 46, have been dating for about two years. Falchuk was the cocreator with Ryan Murphy in 2009 of the popular TV series Glee. The two also worked together on the TV series American Horror Story and Scream Queens.
She and Martin finalized their divorce in 2016 after 13 years of marriage. They have two children.
Paltrow and Falchuk posed for the cover of a magazine with his arms wrapped around her. Falchuk also answered the popular “How goopy are you?” quiz in a video on goop.com. The interview appears in the issue of Goop that hits newsstands on Tuesday.
Paltrow won a best actress Oscar in 1999 for the film Shakespeare in Love. In recent times, her best-known role has been that of Pepper Potts in the Iron Man film series. REUTERS
