Gwyneth Paltrow on quarantining: ‘My heart feels fuller’

Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s experienced the highs and lows of quarantining.

Appearing on the July/August cover of Shape magazine, the 47-year-old said that, like many who “have been forced into the confines of our own homes,” she’s found the experience both “peaceful” and the source of “emotional distress.”

On the up side, the Goop founder said the restrictions have allowed her and husband Brad Falchuk, 49, to slow down.

“Now I feel different, letting my body go to sleep and wake up in its natural rhythm, having my kids [Apple, 16, and Moses, 14] around all the time, eating meals together and having meaningful conversations,” she said. “We linger at the table; our dinners are an hour and a half long. My heart feels fuller, and my mind feels calmer in that respect.”

To de-stress from work, she tries to “do exercises every day for my back and neck because of all the Zoom calls I’m on. My husband, Brad, and I take a walk at least three or four times a week.”

In April, the Goop website posted an hour-long video of Paltrow and Falchuck speaking with psychologist Michaela Boehm about how to “find intimacy in uncertain times.”

“As a couple, it’s sort of like, ‘Where do you go as a couple when you’re all in the house and you’ve got dogs, and work and work from home?’” Paltrow asked Boehm. “It’s like, ‘What are you supposed to do?’”

Paltrow and Falchuk tied the knot in 2018. They were each married once before, Paltrow to Chris Martin and Falchuk to Suzanne Falchuk.
