I already know that all of the Goopy know-it-alls are going to come in here and claim that Gwyneth Paltrow has ALWAYS (!!) maintained homes in America, so just… don’t even bother. I know Goop has always had a place in New York City, although I don’t know if she has consistently maintained a home in LA since she and Chris Martin married. But the point of this is that after Goop and Chris married, Gwyneth pretty much moved to London and starting bitching about America, all while trying to educate dumb, American peasants about the gilded life she leads in England. But now Goop wants to come home. Home to LA. And Chris Martin is all for the move?
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are making a move across the pond in hope of a little sunshine, rest and recreation, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The pair, who recently splashed out $10.45 million on a luxury mansion in Brentwood’s Mandeville Canyon, have enquired about private schools in the area for kids Apple and Moses as they plan to spend an extended time in Los Angeles away from the gloom and rain of what has been their permanent base in London, England.
“Chris and Gwyneth have wanted to move to Los Angeles for a while,” a source said.
“Gwyneth spends a lot time between the UK and the U.S. and she’s exhausted with all the traveling. The purpose of buying the lavish home in Brentwood was to make that a semi-permanent base.
“She also spends a lot of time away from her mom, Blythe [Danner] and wants to be closer to her as she gets older. Chris was very understanding and is willing to give living in Los Angeles a chance because he’s always loved the city. Chris’ band won’t be working on a new album for at least another year so he has some breathing space to kick back.
“They’re looking at placing Apple and Moses at a local private school – they both want to make sure the kids are settled and can get a good education.”
Back in June, the glamour couple snapped up their dream L.A. abode, designed by renowned U.S. architect Windsor Smith. The 8,000 sq ft property has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with a large courtyard that resembles an English manor and a separate cottage at the back.
Tellingly, it’s the most expensive home in the couple’s property portfolio and was described in the U.S. homes magazine Veranda as ideal for “a family that likes luxury but wants their home to be warm and inviting and functional.”
With Gwyneth, 39, and Chris, 35, moving to the U.S. we’ll surely see them hanging out with best buds Beyonce and Jay-Z.
And don’t rule out Kanye West and Kim Kardashian welcoming them with open arms – Chris performed the chorus on the hip-hop star’s 2008 hit Homecoming.
I think Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner live in Brentwood too. And Matt Damon and his family just moved close the Garner-Afflecks as well. Basically, Brentwood is going to be Totally 1990s Nostalgia. As for Chris being “very understanding” of Goop’s reasons to move to LA… we’ll see. Honestly, though, Chris might not even be the biggest problem. How will Dame Gwyneth even survive amongst the California peasantry? She’s been gone for too long. There will need to be several Goop-letters devoted to how fat all of the LA peasants have gotten in Goop’s absence.

wouldn’t be surprised if we hear of a split.
Exactly what I was thinking! Trying to move past his cheating was a losing game so she’s probably coming home to start fresh.
I’m waiting for it, too. We need something to cap off this summer of good gossip.
That was my first thought too! But she will *never admit defeat.
There is a Blind Gossip item *allegedly* about them.
I find her so unattractive. She is like one of those rich blonde spoilt brats that everyone fawns over but there is nothing attractive about them.
Right. After years of eating 800 calories a day, her face is starting to looking harsh and old.
That’s it exactly!
Maybe she thinks her massive ego/bank account will fool us peasants into thinking she’s a real precious gem.
(is that harsh? I’m sorry. No wait, I’m not sorry. I have no time for people with tons of money that try to tell me what to do with myself)
I so agree with you!
She is one of those many fake blondes with nothing appealing on her face apart from dull eyes and fake veneers. if she was nobody’s daughter she would probably be a saleswoman at the next door’s greengrocery store.
Funnily enough, I totally disagree. I think she looks great – very natural. She actually dares to dine out without make-up on. She doesn’t look in the least bit harsh!
@ isabelle
Agree, she has a really sweet smile and looks cute without make up. Her husband looks creepy though. She is prob 10 times smarter than the people who love to hate her, and she has some KILLER legs!
Yes and yes!!
I thought her mom lived in NYC?
She really grates, but the house she bought is major, major house pr0n. Major. Like, I would be her friend just to see it in person. And then I’d call up Kaiser and give her all the dirt, lol!
Oh Goop, stay the f*ck in England. The last thing LA needs is another egomaniac disingenuous blonde and 1 percenter on our shores.
^^ THIS
2 words for this woman: boring and overrated.
Oh, and a third:
Nauseating.
Everything she does is annoying. I don’t get her appeal at all, she looks like Lisa Simpson.
Only, Lisa has common sense and empathy.
There’s a blind item about them and it says Chris is cheating on her with a female from his tour.
Eh don’t have any opinion about her, but her husband is adorable.
I’ve always thought so, as well .
I think he is lovely too. He seems very witty. I can’t help but liking her too.
8 bathrooms? How much fibre do they get through daily?
She’s used to being with the upper crust in England and can’t stand the Calfornina nevo rich. Lots of beautiful home in California with beautiful interiors but there are just as many 30 million dollar godawful McMansions that are so tacky inside and out. She is an elegant woman. She wants an elegant life. Donnie Baliduchi described Beverly Hills High as a cake walk compared to it’s description in the book Less Than Zero and if you’ve read it you can’t imagine people worse than that. Believe me she is trashing things she has actually seen. She wants to protect t her kids from all the dangers of those Hollywood people. I’m sure she’s figured it out. She is a very smart woman who was a wild child when she was young.
What are you saying? Is English a second language for you because this statement makes no sense. Nevo rich? It’s Nouveau Riche. Hate to break it to people, plenty of “nouveau riche” live in England and Europe, as a whole. It simply means “recently acquired wealth.” Oh right, like her family.
why so rude, clearly you knew what she meant. You just didn’t like her point and wanted to be a b*tch.
Thanks spelling police, we always need more of you on gossip sites….LMFAO
Gwynie looks stunning as usual looks like changing her diet and actually exercising and not smoking really set back the clock for her.
I felt so sad for her when she said her father’s death gave her the opportunity to have a life(health-wise and her family)that she otherwise never would have had.
She loved him so much.He was such a cool guy.
ps…and love her Baja shrimp taco recipe on Goop—-yummy. She’s so cute, how much she loves her LA food from her childhood.
With both children now in school, she probably is ready to work more and needs to be in LA.
My thoughts, too. She spent the kids’ entire young childhoods in the U.K., it seems fair to switch to her home turf.
She doesn’t bug me as much as she seems to bug most people. And she seems relatively drama-free compared to some of her peers, like Halle Berry or Demi Moore.
This isn’t new news. She bought the house more than 8 weeks ago and toured it over 4 months ago. http://la.curbed.com/archives/2012/06/gwyneth_paltrow_buying_windsor_smith_house_in_brentwood.php
If you don’t hate her already, this is all the reason you need.
“Anglophile Gwyneth Paltrow has decided to grace us in LA with a little homebuying:”
I guess I don’t need to reiterate once again that we don’t want her here. Adrian Glick Kudler did a pretty good job of pointing it out.
Go Adrian!
I thought she lived in NYC because just about every time she is mentioned Jay and Bey’s name is dropped. I mean literally every time.
She has a place here in NYC too, unless she sold it. I would love to someday have a house near the ocean, even if it’s a two-room shed. I don’t even need 8 bathrooms.
Mandeville Cyn is nice – my grad school dean has a house there and would host parties. It is not close enough to the ocean for my taste. It’s at least 5 miles away if not more.
Someone put out the call to Blohan & Bynes, letting them know Goop’s arrival date, would ya? (I kid.)
Once again, I wonder: With all that money at one’s disposal, surely there are sunny, warm areas with less smog and traffic than LA. So why choose LA?
Business. Maybe she realizes her years (days?) are numbered in Hollywood. Or maybe she wants to get more into the production side of things. And keeping a base there rather than traveling there would be more stable for the kids.
Goopy does not tan. She is not welcome here.
Windsor Smithis an interior designer, not architect.
Ugh! We don’t want her here. It was bad enough when she sneaked back into NYC.
Her icky preppy wannabe royalty won’t fly here. Well, it wasn’t really working in NYC she looked like they kicked her out of the Hamptons for over dressing or something.
y’all need to fact check more.
She grew up in LA and has big love for it, she used to do the ‘pickalodian tours’ with her wagon as a kid and take the neighborhood kids around on a tour of monsters like the Booger man.
nothing wrong with moving out of the US for a while(especially when your kids dad is British????) Gee what a crime.
She eats well cuz her dad got cancer and died\
She lived in England cuz her husband was British.
Man, what a person to hate.
