Gwyneth Paltrow is loved up. Brad Falchuk makes her happy, and even though the start of their relationship was shady AF, no one ever asks her about any of it because she’s a blonde princess, I guess. I take comfort in the fact that Brad picked out a really strange engagement ring – it’s a big sapphire that “sits up” way too much, and it doesn’t look like her style at all (go here to see a photo). I also take comfort in the fact that this will be Gwyneth’s first “real” wedding. When she married Chris Martin, they eloped (partly because she was pregnant) and I don’t even think her mom was even invited? So, obviously, Gwyneth is going to Goop up a fancy wedding this time.
Gwyneth Paltrow may have just confirmed her engagement to writer-producer Brad Falchuk this month, but the actress and Goop founder is ready to get started with wedding planning.
“I’m excited about everything!” Paltrow told PeopleStyle when we caught up with the star about the launch of her Goop Bath Soaks. “I’ve never had a wedding before. [Paltrow and ex-husband Chris Martin eloped in 2003.] So even though I’m 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old.”
Although Paltrow and Falchuk, 46, “haven’t really started making any formal plans” for their wedding just yet, the star is having fun brainstorming with her best friends right now. “It’s kind of fun to talk about with my girlfriends,” Paltrow told us. “They send me pictures of dresses — they’re as excited about it as I am. It’s pretty cute.”
When it comes to the couple’s everyday lifestyles, Paltrow and Falchuk are always in sync.
“I think we have similar philosophies about taking care of ourselves and trying to be happy, like exercising and eating good food,” she said.
“I think we have similar philosophies about taking care of ourselves and trying to be happy, like exercising and eating good food…” Is that enough with which to base a marriage? Don’t get me wrong, I think Brad and Gwyneth do have similar points of view – her point of view is that she’s the star and the most important person, and Brad agrees. As for her wedding planning… I can’t even imagine how New-Age-y it’s going to be. Yoni eggs as bridesmaids’ gifts, a two-month “detox” before the wedding, a discredited shaman performing the ceremony. She’ll probably “invent” a whole new terminology for all of the wedding stuff too. It’s going to be a massive pain in the ass.

I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait to see this. This wedding better happen.
I imagine all the vagina steaming that is going to happen beforehand.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!
That’s the bachelorette party! That, or a group colonic.
Goopy is going to be (as usual) an insufferable twat about throwing the perfect rich, spoiled, entitled princess wedding!
+ 1,000
Oh God YES she will! And she’s not 21 so it will be a snicker fest.
She does seem in love so good for her. She may never say anything relatable but it’s her world.
I think she is just in love with herself, the idea of herself, the idea of this guy being totally into her. She’s insufferable.
A Goopy wedding…this should be a treat.
I can’t hate on her for this, since she eloped the first time. I’m curious to see her wedding aesthetic, maybe minimalist chic?
It’s going to be insufferable and I’m here for it.
Let the cray cray begin! This is going to be an over the top wedding, insufferable and new agey
Oh boy this is gonna be so entertaining!!!
My new take on her, after that Colbert interview is that she’s actually such a bore IRL that her new age over-the-topness is the only thing that keeps her entertaining.
I think she sounds like a dumb Valley Girl. No offense to Valley Girls. She is inarticulate and has a limited vocabulary.
Anything is a good excuse to say: “So even though I’m 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old.”
Her current life goal 😉
One thing about Goopy, I’ve never felt she tries to look too young for her age, trying to look like she’s in her 20s, She usually wears clothes that flatter her and are for a woman and fashionable. There are lines on her face, definitely forehead lines, no horrible overblown lips, no high arched brows from too much botox. She is one of the celebs in her 40s that seems comfortable with herself in that regard. I can’t hate on her for feeling like a young girl excited about a wedding since she didn’t have one the first time.
The jumpsuit she wore on Jimmy Fallon the other night was so beautiful on her.
And this floral dress on her was so effortlessly pretty. I wanted it. Although, I don’t have her height.

I know, this is why I actually love her. She seems pretentious as all get-out sometimes, but she also seems comfortable with who she is.
She said “feel” not “look” which is the whole purpose of the crap she advocates.
She’s obsessed with 21 year olds. Remember when she talked about her 21 year old stripper butt?
That said, this wedding will be entertaining.
That ring is hideous!
SO bad.
Worse than bad. I wonder, does she like it? Did she tell him what she wanted, pick it out, help design it? Whatever the case, it’s ugly.
I actually like the ring–but then, I’m sometimes informed that I have “unusual” taste, lol.
Ugh…I am not doubting her over the top happiness, but it makes me wonder if the conscious uncoupling thing was all fake. First you put your ex-husband in the family zone – not just friend – family. And then you make over the top comments like this which I seem to me to be thumbing your nose and not just him (he is ex after all) but also the children that you share with him. Having been through the death of my father at the same time this happened to her, I always wondered if her need to settle down with Chris was a response within grieving. I know after my dad died (I was single at the time) it became very important in my thoughts to get married to someone he knew or would have approved of and I almost made a shitty decision. This all seems so extra. I mean don’t you wonder if her kids see this story their response could be “huh, what about my dad?” I could be way wrong. If so no hate.
She and Chris get along great. Her children see their relationship in their lives day to day, week to week. They see their dad likes mom’s fiance and vice versa. They know their mom has a love for Chris and always will. Some interview doesn’t affect them.
I believe she was fragile and vulnerable when she met Chris, but I also believe she really loved him. He was a rock star, who was also a nice guy. But he’s an artist, someone who plays instruments, writes music. I can see being drawn to someone like that and admiring them, falling in love. He offered stability, but Chris wasn’t some nobody. I saw him on Howard Stern and he was very charming and humble but a quick, dry wit about him. After dating someone like Ben, Chris must have seemed like a catch to her.
Don’t get me wrong but you write about Goop and Chris as if you know them, eg “she and Chris get along great. Her children see their relationships in their lives day to day…”. I used to be like that with Brad and Angelina and boy was I wrong. I never thought Brad was an alcoholic for all those years. I still like him/her but I am never going to fall for all that bs with anyone I don’t know again. Just saying.
Jayna always talks like that, like she actually knows any of these celebrity’s or about their actual lives.
When she is really just talking out her a*s
Go Goop!
I know she is all kinds of insufferable and her “medical” advice is cringe worthy, but for whatever reason she just doesn’t bug me. And after years of being married to someone who would run down the street so they couldn’t be photographed together, it must be very relaxing and pleasant to be with someone who openly adores you. (Even though I’m sure his first wife has a different story. ahem.)
She met Chris right after her father died. When they married, she was still fragile, no father to be there, a father she adored. I get why she married the way she did then.
I can see Gwyneth’s wedding being very pretty and soft and not so formal, more like a beautiful outdoor reception like Guy Ritchie and his wife had at their estate in the country.
I think she gave up a lot of herself to marry Chris – move to England, never allow yourself to have a picture taken with him, know that he will never attend an award show or premiere with you, etc. (I still remember being a little sad at how shocked and giddy she was when he kissed her in public during one of his concerts; it seemed to make her so incredibly happy that he acknowledged her.) It was certainly his right to set terms she agreed with, and they were able to make it work until it didn’t and now they have set new terms that seem to work for both of them. I don’t begrudge her her happiness now.
Aww, that’s cute. She thinks millenials had the money to have nice weddings at age 21, lol.
bahaha
😂
Lol, truth. A 21 year olds wedding would look more like her first one for most people.
I was thinking the same thing. Also, does anyone really get married that young anymore? Man, I can see her wedding being ridiculously expensive but she’ll play it off as if it’s “totally affordable for anyone”.
I think it’s great that she found a guy who has respect for her and her career that she has built.
Well, the average age of all of the various parts of her body probably does come out to 21 years. Mentally though, more like 12 years old. I expect some unicorn/fairy/flower-crown/tulle with a huge helping of new age mumbo jumbo.
She had a wedding before, a wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage. It is a wedding even if you elope. She just didn’t have a chance to go Bridezilla before. Should be fun.
I would be sad if someone offered that ring to me. It’s not attractive. ..at all imo..
It looks like it would be about as comfortable to wear as a Ring Pop

Ah, this is why I come to Celebitchy.
