Who Is Gwyneth Paltrow's Husband? Everything You Need to Know About Their Relationship

Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to Netflix with Sex, Love and Goop, a series all about relationships and intimacy.

The actress—who previously appeared in The Goop Lab, a six-part Netflix documentary about her wellness empire—has enjoyed a few high-profile romances herself, but who is her husband?

This is everything we know about her relationship.

Who Is Gwyneth Paltrow's Husband?

Paltrow is married to Brad Falchuk, a 50-year-old television writer, director and producer.

He is her second husband. She was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom she has two teenage children.

Falchuk's best-known credits include Glee, American Horror Story and Scream Queens. He also has two children from a previous marriage.

When Did Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk Start Dating?

The pair met in 2010 on the set of Glee as she made a cameo appearance on the show.

They began publicly dating in 2015, a year after Paltrow had filed for divorce from Martin.

Paltrow, 49, announced their engagement in 2018, with the couple appearing on the cover of the Goop magazine.

It appears that Falchuk gets on well with Martin, 44. In November 2017, Paltrow shared an image of the two men sitting at a table and smiling on Instagram, adding the hashtag "#modernfamily."

When Did Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk Get Married?

The couple tied the knot in September 2018 in the Hamptons, New York.

According to reports by People magazine, the wedding was attended by stars including Steven Spielberg, Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden and Robert Downey Jr.

Jerry Seinfeld hosted the couple's rehearsal dinner at his home.

Paltrow's mother, actress Blythe Danner, reportedly told photographers: "It was gorgeous—the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen."

Three years later, Paltrow revealed in an interview with the magazine that she feels as though they are still "in the honeymoon phase."

"I am really lucky I married Brad," she said.

"There is just something about us together. We've been able to build on all the stuff we've gone through in life and create something really amazing.

"And I'm grateful for our chemistry. That can get you through some tough spots!"

Asked what she has learned from the more challenging moments in her relationship, she added: "The key has been being as accountable as possible for the negative ways I was in earlier relationships.

"I have worked hard to break old patterns and work on long-held intimacy issues in order to make the most out of my marriage.

"Divorce is never something you hope for or plan, a second marriage can be a beautiful gift."
