Gwyneth Paltrow recently took part in a Q&A session with her followers on her Instagram Stories, and one user asked how life was as a “free bird.”
The user is referencing the fact that both of Paltrow’s kids are now in college and out of the house. For those who don’t know, she shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18, with her ex-husband, Chris Martin.
Paltrow responded to the question via video message, “It’s very different. I have waves of grief and sadness,” she candidly revealed.
But don’t get it twisted! It’s not all bad. She has also found some positives.
I am kind of getting back in touch with this part of myself that I haven’t felt like since I was in my 20s before I had kids Like, a little more space and imagination, maybe. A little more inner space for what I might want to do that day, stuff like that. So, it’s evolving. It’s interesting.
That’s life for you, huh? It’s rarely ever a single emotion. It’s almost always a mix of emotions. Life is complicated, and doing life as a parent is even more complicated.
We’re glad she’s trying to work through all her emotions though. And best of all, the holidays are coming up, so we’re sure her home will be full again starting next month!
