THE WRAP-UP

Gwyneth’s A-list engagement party; Richard’s geared up for marriage; Monaco’s royal family is expanding

-

All aboard the love train! Excitement levels have been building as Gwyneth Paltrow and fiancé Brad Falchuk count down to their nuptials, but eagle-eyed fans suspect the couple might have already said their vows in a secret ceremony at their massive black-tie “engagement party” at the Los Angeles Theatre!

A who’s who of acting royalty, including pals Jennifer Aniston (49), Kate Hudson (38), Cameron Diaz (45) and Demi Moore (55) were all spotted heading into a Los Angeles venue, along with Gwyneth’s mother Blythe

Danner (75), who was seen carrying in a bridal gown bag.

But wedding or not, Gwyneth (45) opted for an oxblood oneshoulde­red number. She later posted a public thank you to Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who organised the bash. “Thank you #ryanmurphy for the most incredible evening to celebrate our love,” the actress wrote, not yet confirming if she is married.

Either way, this will be their second marriage for both

Brad (47) and Gwyneth, who met when she guest-starred on the TV show Glee, which the father-of-two produces. Since then, she has gushed about him, saying, “I have decided to give marriage a go again… because

I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with.”

Gwyneth eloped with first husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (41), back in 2003. “I’ve never had a proper wedding before, so even though I’m 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old,” she said when announcing their engagement in January. “It’s kind of fun to talk about with my girlfriend­s… they’re as excited about it as I am.”

Chris and Gwyneth, who share children Apple (13) and Moses (12), are the true definition of a modern family – Chris is expected to be a wedding guest.
