Is Gwyneth Paltrow about to dump her still-married jumpoff, Brad Falchuk?

FFN_RIJ_TOM_FORD_SET2_022015_51659674

I always believed – and I think the gossip records will back me up – that Gwyneth Paltrow started up with Glee producer Brad Falchuk when they were both married to other people. Maybe Gwyneth always intended for Brad to be her jumpoff, maybe he was just “someone fun” on the side while she and Chris Martin were going through a rough patch, I don’t know. But I’m almost positive that they started months before Brad’s marriage ended and Gwyneth’s marriage ended. Gwyneth and Chris’s divorce was the very model of civility and Gwyneth is now a free agent. But! Brad still has drama with his estranged wife. Sources claimed last month that Gwyneth was very upset that her current lover is still technically a married man, and that his inability to finalize his divorce has left Gwyneth feeling like she could do better. So would it be surprising to hear that Brad and Gwyneth split?

Gwyneth Paltrow may soon be a single lady once again. Having ‘consciously uncoupled’ from husband Chris Martin in March 2014, the 42-year-old Oscar winner looks like she may now split from her boyfriend of the past year, Brad Falchuk, 44. According to a report from the June 29 issue of Life & Style, friends say the blonde Iron Man star and the Glee producer are about to end their relationship.

‘Gwyneth is breaking up with him,’ said an unnamed friend of the Mortdecai actress. ‘Things got very serious very fast, but lately all they did was fight all the time and she’s tired of it.’

The two Hollywood stars began dating at some point in 2014, shortly after Gwyneth announced her separation from rocker Chris, 38, after 10 years of marriage. Parents to two children – 11-year-old Apple and nine-year-old Moses – Gwyneth and Chris finalized their divorce in April 2015. Unfortunately, differences in lifestyles and outlook may have ended up being too much for Gwyneth and her new man.

‘Gwyn likes things a certain way and Brad didn’t cater to her, so they ended up bickering over the smallest things,’ the same anonymous source continued. ‘She can be very fussy when it comes to food and Brad isn’t. Sometimes he just wanted to go out for a burger, which drove her crazy.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Brad has two children as well, by the way. He has a son and a daughter, same as Goop, and his kids are close in age to Apple and Moses. The vibe I got from the very limited reporting on Brad and Gwyneth as an “official” couple was that he would always drop everything to be with her, that she was trying to make him part of her A-list crowd. Well, no more. Also: “Gwyn likes things a certain way and Brad didn’t cater to her…” I think that’s probably a decent assessment of Gwyneth at this point. If you’re not going to cater to Gwyneth’s every whim and kiss her ass constantly, why would she want to be around you?

    Well, there’s a blind item that’s up as we speak saying that HE is breaking up with her, because (shocking, I know) she isn’t as “zen” as she would like everyone to believe.
    And she’s yet another of these over-40 actresses (Bullock. Aniston, SJP) that needs to stop with the center-parted straight hair–you’re not Kendall Jenner, Goopy!

    • Sugar says:

      Yep, I read that, too.

      • minx says:

        I can believe she will spin it hard that she initiated it–that’s so Goopy.

      • Jem says:

        Agree. I think the divorce was probably Chris’ idea and she dragged that out, micromanaging and backstage managing every aspect – right up to her ‘family vacations’ that include the exes new girlfriend… I think it speaks volumes that he has not pursued his own divorce; I think she was probably pushing harder than he liked, and eventually she scared him off. She will spin/micromanage that breakup too. Girl has ISSUES

      • tracking says:

        Wow, that is the least blind blind ever. She called her grandmother the c-word in an interview.

    • InsertNameHere says:

      The whole age-appropriate hairstyle thing is crap. If they want to center-part their hair, they can. It’s as easy as that.

      • minx says:

        It’s not flattering IMO. I’m 63 and still have relatively longish hair for my age, but I’ve had an off center part for years and I think it looks better.
        Again, we comment on everything so that’s my opinion. Obviously they can do what they want, who can stop them?

    • lolamd says:

      Sorry serious question but what is wrong with a center parted straight hair on a over 40 person? Just curious.

      • lisa says:

        it’s making her harsh face harsher

      • minx says:

        Nothing “wrong” with it; it’s an unforgiving way to wear your hair, that’s all. The eye travels right down from the center part to the nose, and if that’s not your best feature (as in SJP or Aniston) you’re emphasizing it. There’s no softness to help pull the eye away from wrinkles or sags. When you’re Kendall Jenner’s age you don’t have to think about such things.
        Again, your mileage may vary.

      • lisa2 says:

        All the people that were named look very harsh with that particular style. I don’t think it is about “age” just more that that particular way to wear hair does not suit the women mentioned. They all have some strong facial features and that style makes them look Hard.

    meh. im having a hard time caring about Gwen any more. So vapid.
    And frankly for someone so rich, she lives a staggeringly dull life.

  3. blue marie says:

    Gwenyth will always think she can do better no matters who she’s dating..

    • lisa says:

      this is true, she’s always moving forward like a shark

      i dont like her but there’s a lesson in there somewhere

  4. Nev says:

    Good. She can do better.

  5. Ankhel says:

    Don’t you just hate those men who want to go for burgers! I mean, how do you even deal?

  6. Jem says:

    Well clearly she’s a control freak… About food in particular. Very very controlling, and not just about what she eats, but everyone around her. Would not be surprised to learn she has an eating disorder; probably has had one for years

  7. lassie says:

    He certainly has the “Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer” thing going on, doesn’t he?

  8. Kiddo says:

    But what shall she call this? Consciously unjumpingoffing? Semiconsciousdumping? Zenoverit? goFalchukoff?

  9. Liberty says:

    ….so I guess the rumored We Will Have Fun And Couples-Bond My Way and Wear Things From my Website And Answer Questions I Pose In Nightly Truth Games Or Else Hawaiian pals vacation is off?

    Shucks.

    I imagine Chris quietly buying Falupchuck a survivor burger somewhere.

  10. lila fowler says:

    They were an odd couple anyway. His twitter is all about pictures of junk food and Boston sports teams. She probably just hooked up with him to get better, Emmy-award material on Glee (it worked, too).

  11. iheartgossip says:

    She shouldn’t be rolling in the married man pig pen. Shame on her. And get some hair conditioner. You’re rich Momma, fix it.

  12. lucy says:

    Don’t know, don’t care! But, she really should dump her hairdresser! Yikes.

  13. danielle says:

    I always thought there was no way shed stick with him, he’s too down market for her. He’s a “TV guy”. I thought shed dump him.
