\u201cGoop\u201d podcast<\/a>, the couple looked back on their unusual decision to live separately for the first year of their marriage\u2014and how it ended up complicating their family dynamic.<\/p>\n\u201cOne thing we did that was maybe a little bit different was, we got married and then didn\u2019t move in together for a year,\u201d Falchuk recalled during their joint appearance. \u201cWould you have done the same thing this time \u2015 again?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d Paltrow admitted. \u201cI mean, I think at the time, we really felt like we were doing the right thing. We were trying to kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly and get everybody on board. But I\u2019m not sure that it didn\u2019t just prolong that thing of like, we don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Falchuk agreed that their choice backfired a bit, especially when it came to the kids in their blended family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it just gives the kids too much power,\u201d he said. \u201cWhich is the opposite of what you want to do. You want them to have agency, I think. Again, as you say, don\u2019t be prescriptive. I think them having agency is really important. But power, to actually keep these two adults from living together? I think it made them more uncomfortable and more like, \u2018OK, this is not something that is solid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple\u2014who wed in 2018 and share four children between them from previous relationships\u2014made headlines at the time for their unconventional approach. While they believed it would help ease their families into the new dynamic, they now see that it may have only delayed the process of truly blending their households.<\/p>\n
Paltrow has also been candid in the past about how challenging it was to step into the role of stepparent. \u201cI really like to talk about this because it\u2019s one of my biggest learnings as a human being,\u201d the Oscar winner said at a 2024 conference, according to People<\/em>. \u201cAnd my area of growth personally came from the initial difficult relationship I had with my stepkids and now they\u2019re like my kids.\u201d<\/p>\nThough she described that early transition as \u201creally rough,\u201d she said she eventually turned a corner in how she approached it. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like you have to embody the spirit of the sun and just give and not expect anything back,\u201d she explained at the time. \u201cI just learned to try to just keep shining like the sun and never keeping score.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
