As some of you may know, 52-year-old actress Gwyneth Paltrow shares daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19, with her ex-husband, Chris Martin.
And while she absolutely loves them, she regrets not having a bigger family. She made the surprise admission during a recent conversation on her ‘Goop‘ podcast.
My dad, Bruce Paltrow, used to say the only regret he had in his entire life was not having more kids. And I felt like that for a long time. In an ideal world, the relationship that you have your kids in works out, and your kids never have to experience divorce or blending families or anything like that. But a lot of times, that’s not the case.
Paltrow did say she feels more complete these days, after marrying Brad Falchuk. He has two kids of his own, both around the same age as Apple and Moses, so now Paltrow feels as if she’s a mom to four children.
She did admit that it was a rough transition at first, especially for the kids, “They have a hard time understanding and adjusting, they don’t want to let go of the family dynamic they had,” she revealed during the podcast.
But now that she and Brad have been married for over six years now, things are a lot better…
It started to just feel really light and really cohesive and since then, we’ve had so many moments like that. It keeps deepening. It’s such a particular kind of delight to see our four kids in their own relationships and being friends with each other and loving each other.
