Gwyneth Paltrow shares thoughts on motherhood
Apple and Moses are Gwyneth Paltrow’s and her ex-husband Chris Martin’s proud children. The founder of Goop discussed the significant effects of motherhood on her life and career in an interview with PEOPLE in November.
She revealed that her desire to be a mother drove her to give up acting, emphasizing that the last time she had starred in every scene of a movie was when she was expecting Apple. This choice demonstrates how parenting has a transformative effect on people and the decisions it inspires.
Paltrow also talked about why she thinks being a mother is a blessing. She credits her strategy of keeping direct and honest lines of communication open with her kids for the lack of the “horrible teen thing.” Recognized for her performance in “Shakespeare in Love,” Paltrow is a firm believer in giving her children a degree of autonomy and accountability that may initially appear difficult.
Paltrow expressed her love for adolescence and disclosed that Apple is getting close to turning 20, which will bring an end to her adolescent years. The actress said she was shocked by how quickly time had passed.
